An effective School staff Professional development programme must be systematic and sustained as well as should provide the expertise that teachers need in order to make the ICT vision a reality. ICT cannot be successfully integrated in the classroom without the appropriate professional development, irrespective of the number of ICT tools that are available at the school. Teachers need to acquire both the knowledge and skills( technical and pedagogical) to effectively integrate technology as a teaching and learning tool. Hands-on training with easy access to resources should be provided. The training should focus on staff development as opposed to specific applications training. Appropriate evaluation and feedback should be provided so that the success of the training can be ascertained.
