Background

About Michael Torrington

I am an international educator and educational technology leader with over 16 years of teaching experience across Jordan, Cambodia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the United States. For the past 11 years, I have held leadership roles shaping school-wide digital transformation, curriculum innovation, and professional learning. As Deputy Headteacher for Educational Technology at the International Community School, Amman, I lead initiatives that integrate Generative AI, STEAM, and digital tools into learning, leadership, and governance. My work includes launching a student AI literacy program, training school governors on responsible AI use, and equipping over 100 teachers with strategies to enhance teaching and learning. I am passionate about ensuring technology empowers students as thinkers, innovators, and global citizens. My leadership blends hands-on classroom expertise with strategic planning—building makerspaces, VR labs, and AI programs that prepare schools for the future. Internationally recognized as an ISTE Certified Educator and Google Trainer, I bring experience in schools accredited by IB, CIS, BSO, and NEASC. I believe that when schools harness technology with purpose, they not only transform learning but also create the conditions for lifelong curiosity and collaboration.
