Audience

This program is for education leaders who want to learn and use best practices to plan

and implement a transformative one-to-one Apple technology deployment.

Description

Education leaders join with Apple Professional Development Specialists in a strategic

planning program, focusing on effective implementation and integration of Apple 

technology. The four-day program is based on best practices from Apple Distinguished

Schools and aids participants in creating and executing a localised action plan.

from successful deployments and targeted discussions.
