Focus is Technology Leadership through Modeling.

Course materials originate from veteran building administrators.

“The literature . . . asserts that principals should learn how to operate technology and use it whenever possible for carrying out their own duties . . . “ !

Ronald E. Anderson and Sara Dexter!“School Technology Leadership:An Empirical Investigation of Prevalence and Impact”

“Leaders who successfully model their school’s values and practices . . . . Demonstrate the importance of continuous learning through visible engagement in their own professional learning . . . . “!!

Kenneth Leithwood, et. al!National College of School Leadership Research Report RR800

“Your staff will watch very carefully. If they see that you are unwilling to “walk the talk” about integrating technology . . . it is all but certain there will be less willingness . . . to do the extra work required to learn about implementing and integrating technology.” !

Principal Chris Toy!“Leadership and Effectively Integrating Educational Technology”
