Abstract

This paper describes how one Canadian high school developed partnerships with the district, the provincial department of education, the community, federal government agencies, and a university faculty of education and how these partnerships contributed to its success as it introduced technology across the curriculum. This high school is recognized nationally and provincially as an outstanding school with exceptional leadership in dealing with multiple changes. Using a design adapted from Lieberman (1995), we conducted a case study whereby working with school administrators and teachers, we explored how change has occurred. We chose our methodology based on an assumption that collaboration with school personnel was essential if we were to understand how change occurs, how leadership is provided, who the leaders are, and how obstacles are overcome along the way.
