Superintendent’s Center

As the world becomes an increasingly digital society, the nation’s schools are entering a new era of accountability, and this has changed our expectations of school superintendents.

Schools leaders have come to rely on computing devices and the internet to engage students’ interest, track their progress, personalize instruction, and understand how technology works and how it can transform teaching and learning.

On this page, eSchool News editors have compiled resources that we hope will help you, as a school leader, learn how to best use technology to strengthen your district.
