School Leadership

2. THINK
DIFFERENTLY
“I would say it’s essential to create a culture of
innovation in the school. Accept that there will
be many successes and some failures, those
failures will drive even more success. Have a
solid plan in place that involves all constituents
in the process, and ensure the plan has clearly
defined outcomes. From a nuts and bolts
standpoint I would say ensure the infrastructure
is where it needs to be. If teachers do not trust
the technology, it will not be used.”
-Ryan Imbriale, Principal, Patapsco High
School

27. “Successful principals focus not only
on what needs to be reformed in
schools, but address how they go
about fostering and leading change
through a strategic process involving
gathering and analyzing data to
determine priorities, explore possible
solutions, assess readiness and build
capacity, create and communicate the
improvement plan, implement the
plan,, and then monitor and adjust the
pan when necessary.”

30. “Unlike those of us
just a shade older,
this new generation
didn’t have to relearn
anything to live lives
of digital immersion.
They learned in
digital the first time
around; they only
know a world that is
digital.”
Authors: John Palfrey &
Urs Gasser
“These kids are different. They study, work,
write, and interact with each other in ways
that are very different from the ways that you
did growing up.”

32. Adequate Access:
Computing devices & Internet at school & home
Human Capital:
Support effective use
Ensure infrastructure
Is in place
Teacher Training:

Into instruction & assessment
Technology Plans:
Flexible to adapt to changes in

56. UNAWARE OF THE
BENEFITS

58. +

64. 83% of School Leaders possess high level of
knowledge of current technology

74. 97% of school leaders believe
students should learn to use
current technology including

75. The same technology leaders
believe students should be using
is banned at many schools. Tech-
savvy leaders teach students to
use these tools safely and
appropriately for their education.

79. Quantifiable results
of effective
technology
integration

81. Only about 18% of teachers feel comfortable with
integration of technology.
Approximately 82% are only moderately comfortable
or very uncomfortable with integrating technology.

82. Facebook Debate:
“I am really concerned that our kids will be drawn into those critical
attributes in FaceBook that are not related to the classroom topics.
Our kids lack that personal self-discipline.”
“Our responsibility is to teach our students proper etiquette and
prepare them for their careers. Social media isn't going anywhere.
We need to teach not limit.”
“Facebook is one of the ways our students communicate. There is so
much to be taught and supported- how to write appropriately, how
what you write is there forever, and how to manage emotions, at an
already emotional time, when consuming posts.
When we "lock it out" because colleagues don't want to police it or
develop lessons on appropriate use, it doesn't help us help our
students.”

83. Leaders who Blog:
“Our school and classroom blogs serve as a communication platform
and digital portfolio. My personal blog links media, technology and
current events. My school blog chronicles school and school board
technology happenings.”
“My blog shares ways to integrate technology as well as my
leadership thoughts and ideas. I share my blog with our teachers
and administrators. Often teachers will ask me questions about a
tool or a way to do something with digital resources, and if I've
written about it already or compiled resources I simply link them to
my blog post or wiki resource page. Having a blog and wiki saves me
time in the long run and helps me organize what I have already
researched and wrote about.”

84. Impact on School Culture
“Expanded the classroom walls of learning. Students see technology
access as more than just gossiping on Facebook or Twitter; they are
beginning to see the more practical uses of social media for
learning.”
“It has helped us create a student centred school that allows
students to have choice and influence in their learning. It has helped
us create real and powerful learning experiences and connected our
kids with people all over the world.”
Almost every teacher has an iPad and we have made it apart of
every staff meeting. We are steadily moving towards using some
form of technology in every classroom and building a school
structure to promote tech in the classroom.

85. Impact on School Culture
We have gone from desktop, stand alones to iPads and 1:1 in just 1.5
years. Attendance is up 15%. Discipline incidents are down.
Graduation rate has increased. Parental involvement has increased.
Student pride and engagement is up. Instruction and academic
engagement is up.
The biggest impact has been with teaching students to be cognizant
of their digital footprint. This group of students has always known
technology; few have other means to communicate. Using Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter inappropriately have had negative
consequences on some students (bullying, difficulty securing
employment, questions from college admissions).
Integrating a viable online blog in ELA courses has helped students
self correct, monitor others' writings, and learn quickly from past
mistakes.

86. Positive School Culture Allows Leaders to:
1. Be available to their faculty to assist in improving instructional
strategies through spending more time in classrooms
2. Serve as a mentor and encourage the development of
leadership traits in others
3.Collaborate with other school leaders to improve their own
professional growth and development
4. Communicate openly and honestly with all stakeholders and
promote the achievements of students and teachers
5. Problem-solve with other leadership team members and key
stakeholders throughout the community

93. Recommended Reading For School Leaders*
*Separate hyperlinks for Disrupting Class and Tuned Out

94. “Leaders can connect an entire learning community from student,
parent, community, teacher, other leaders if they have the right skill set
and tools. Leaders can block or allow innovation for themselves and
others. Budget cuts are everywhere. Tech support is down putting more
responsibility on building principals. Even more so when sole building
administrator. Tech savvy amplifies school based efforts in many forms
- instructional, managerial, PD, secretarial, outreach, personal learning
networks, and on and on. Tech savvy helps leaders suck the best
resources from daily, local and national conferences via backchannel.
Tech savvy is a mindset our kids already have. We must do our best to
see through their lens each day. IMO (in my opinion) Tech savvy leaders
tend to trust students and teacher more. We need more trust in
schools.”
