I am prepared to lead technology in a school but know that I have a few holes in my understanding. I am not yet prepared to lead with respect to technology but am on my way to being there. I am ill-prepared to lead with respect to technology and know I have a lot of work to do in this area.

Research says… Schools that integrate technology in the most constructive way were those where the principals shared an unwavering vision that technology had the potential to improve student learning.

Research says… Studies have shown that teachers who had positive perceptions about the principal’s role in supporting the integration of technology were more likely to integrate technology themselves.

Research says… Effective principals should be actively involved with technology including modeling technology use and helping to implement ongoing curriculum-integrated technology staff development.
