shared by Cindy Edwards on 02 Jul 13 - Cached
  • ISSUE: Knowledgeable and effective school leaders are extremely important in determining whether technology use will improve learning for all students.
  • on leadership qualities of superintendents and principals, responses to change, and effective uses of technology as major themes associated with technology leadership.
  • This Critical Issue uses several definitions of leadership. In Leadership Without Easy Answers, Heifetz (1994) says leadership is a change or adaptive process "to address conflicts in the values people hold, or to diminish the gap between the values people stand for and the reality they face" (p. 22). In The Elements of Leadership, Noonan (2003) defines leadership as "developing potential and building community" (p. 3). In Developing the Leader Within You , Maxwell (2000) defines leadership as simply "influence."

      In the definitions of leadership given, it is intriguing to see, whether it is a long or short definition, the variety and different characteristics given to leadership.
  • "At a minimum, we can be sure they [school districts] want someone who can carry out a long list of specific duties. The new principal will be expected to arrange class schedules, resolve discipline problems, administer a labor contract, evaluate teachers, and apply the oil of public relations to points of friction with the community. And that's just in the morning." (Lashway, Mazzarella, & Grundy, 1995, p. 15)
  • Identifying and articulating an organizational vision. Fostering acceptance of group goals. Having high performance expectations. Providing appropriate models. Providing intellectual stimulation. Developing a strong school culture (Lashway, Mazzarella, & Grundy, 1995, pp. 60-62)
  • A strong sense of moral purpose. An understanding of the dynamics of change. An emotional intelligence as they build relationships. A commitment to developing and sharing new knowledge. A capacity for coherence making (enough coherence on the edge of chaos to still be creative). (Fullan, 2002, p. 15)
  • (1) the coordination and maintenance of the organization as a whole, and (2) the purpose and direction of the organization
  • Vision and moral purpose
  • Relationships
  • Complexity:
  • Change
  • School leaders at all levels must collaborate with staff members and school personnel to create a vision for the future and a process for change, ensuring that schools and school districts are viable and thriving learning communities for students, staff, and community members.
  • The role of leaders and managers is to " be-in-the-world with responsibility "
  • in planning and policy creation within longer time horizons
  • more frequently with external organizational constituencies
  • more network development and consensus-building activities
  • broader and more comprehensive cognitive map or frame of reference of an organization and its environment
  • Successful leaders recognize that each situation may require them to modify their style or even stretch their typical or preferred way of working with others to meet the needs of people and the requirements of the situation:
  • Given the multifaceted nature of leadership, it becomes clear that transformational as well as versatile leadership skills are necessary in making decisions.
  • Clue sense
  • Cue sense
  • Negotiating sense
  • Perhaps the most important asset of an organization is people and their capacity to learn.
  • A strategic plan provides a blueprint for achieving educational excellence.
  • The change should have a clearly articulated reason that has urgency and a possible solution
  • Any needs assessment should accurately convey the internal and external weaknesses, challenges, strengths, and opportunities
  • A vision needs to define the why of the change,
  • be communicated to stakeholders at all levels
  • understood clearly
  • meaningful
  • specific actions, clearly visualized.
  • Possible different skill requirements in jobs
  • These reasons include the following: (1) the need to prepare students to function in an information-based, Internet-using society; (2) the need to make students competent in using tools found in almost all work areas; and (3) the need to make education more effective and efficient.
  • technology keeps changing
  • rarely provide optimal conditions
  • Technology's impact on teachers and their practice should be considered as important as student effects, for students move on but teachers remain to influence many generations of students." (p. 1)
  • technology may be most effective when it is used in
