Leadership for IT in Schools

Technology leadership is a significant predictor of effective IT use in classrooms. The desired outcome should be an effective learning environment for teachers in which they can develop their technology-enhanced instructional practices. Such an environment involves IT leaders working together to determine a vision for IT use and to provide the necessary learning opportunities and organizational support to make it happen. IT leadership should be thought of as a school-level characteristic that is carried out by teams.
