About the Notebooks for Teachers and Principals Program (Notebooks Program)
The Notebooks for Teachers and Principals Program (Notebooks Program) supports and encourages principals, teachers and para-professionals (instructors) to integrate learning technologies into school classroom and administrative practices. In return for receiving a Notebook, recipients are expected to demonstrate a commitment to ongoing professional development in the use of Learning Technologies.
Overview of Notebook Program Operations Process
The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) leases notebook computers. Notebooks are available to eligible principals, teachers and para-professionals (instructors) upon regular usage contribution fees made to the Department (taken automatically from pre-tax salary). Recipients must also abide by the terms and conditions of the program to retain a notebook.
The Department must return all notebooks to the lessor at the end of the lease cycle. Penalties are incurred for unreturned or damaged notebooks. Notebook recipients must return their units before the due date (as specified in the terms and conditions).
Recipients will be notified by email at the end of the lease cycle. At this time, the school can nominate the recipients to receive a replacement notebook. See: Replacement Rollouts.
