Leading the Technology-powered School

At its heart, this is a leadership book that guides principals through using technology in their schools to enhance and support learning. Grounded in research, including a survey of numerous principals about how to successfully lead with technology, the book explores not only the role of the principal but also the role of teachers, technology specialists, and the technology leadership team. Filled with practical strategies as well as supporting tools,Â the author shows how to develop the leadership team, provide professional development in the area of technology use, and effectively address cybersafety. The book also addresses how to assess technology, student learning, teacher performance, and technology resources and programs.
