Proposal summary

Framework

The methodology for this research report was a qualitative study conducted through action research. The researcher acts as a change agent and participants and stakeholders become a part of the process working collaboratively through inquiry with a voice in identifying challenges and implement change.

Methods

Through action research, the data was collected at various points of the study.
The following steps defined the data collection plan:
1. Principal Interviews.
2. ITDL Coach Focus Group.
3. Field Notes.
4. Final Showcase.
5. Principal Interviews.
6. ITDL Coach Interviews.
7. District Stakeholder Interviews.
8. District Leadership Focus Group.
9. Educator Survey

Position Description
7 Principals ● 6-21 years of experience as a principal
● 5 elementary principals
● 2 secondary principals
● 3 schools in Turnaround

7 ITDL Coaches
● 0-8 years of experience as ITDL coach
● All former teachers

5 District Leaders
● 1-16 years of experience in district leadership
● Superintendent, IT Officer, 3 ISL managers

113 Educators
● Participants from all 7 schools
● 36.3% secondary educators
● 63.7% elementary educators

There was inclusion criteria for each group as detailed in the dissertation.

Results

Finding 1: Power of the PLC
The first major finding is that a technology integration leadership PLC can be a powerful lever for principal ownership, self-efficacy, and applying skills for leading digital age learning.

Finding 2: ITDL Involvement in PLC Mobilized New Action and Support
The involvement of the staff of the District Office of Instructional Technology and
Digital Learning mobilized new actions and support, and solidified the commitment of the district to meaningful technology integration. The relationships and trust were strengthened between the principals and ITDL coaches, and the relationships between ITDL coaches and school-based teacher leaders, which led to ITDL offering new and innovative support, and
principals accessing district support in new and deeper ways.

Finding 3: Engagement in PLC led to Teacher Support
Principals’ active engagement in the PLC resulted in greater support to teachers. Through the logic model, principals identified supports and then activated them. Early on, one principal suggested that she wanted to do a book study on distance learning with her staff, so the ITDL manager purchased the book for all of the principals and the ITDL staff so that PLC could have some common language. The ITDL staff conducted their own internal book study and several
principals also conducted book studies with their schools. Additional input or support for teachers that principals included in their plans were staff surveys, collaboration and delivery of professional development, creation of tools and resources for teachers, co-planning, 1:1 coaching, teacher collaboration, PLCs with peers and model teachers, and peer modeling. The support to teachers that has been triangulated from the data fell into the following categories:
vision, expectations, emotional support by principal, formal and informal professional development and coaching by teacher leaders, and structures for teacher-to-teacher collaboration.

Finding 4: Application of ISTE Leadership Standards
Principal involvement in the PLC resulted in new learning, behaviors, and application and improvement of all of the ISTE leadership standards but most significantly in the following:
● Visionary Planner: Leaders engage others in establishing a vision, strategic plan, and
ongoing evaluation cycle for transforming learning with technology.
130
● Empowered Leader: Leaders create a culture where teachers and learners are
empowered to use technology in innovative ways to enrich teaching and learning.
● Connected Learner: Leaders model and promote continuous professional learning for
themselves and others.

Importance

This study highlighted the impact of and possibility of district technology offices supporting school leaders to be technology integration leaders in their schools. Building upon prior research, other institutions can use this model in their organizations to improve leadership practice around technology to transform teaching and learning.
