Change is never easy—but when you start with a clear vision that focuses on learning outcomes, and you involve all stakeholders in the process, and you model the effective use of technology to accomplish your goals, then transforming the culture of a school district is entirely possible.
That was the message behind a series of webinars in March honoring the winners of the 2013 Tech-Savvy Superintendent Awards from eSchool News.
In our 13th annual Tech-Savvy Superintendent Awards, sponsored by NetSupport, we recognized eight of the nation’s top K-12 executives for their outstanding ed-tech leadership and vision.
Chosen by the editors of eSchool News with help from last year’s winners, these eight exemplary leaders revealed the keys to their success in a series of webinars hosted by Editor in Chief Dennis Pierce.
You can experience the archived webinars with our TSSA winners here. And for more free webinars from eSchool News, click here.
A common theme throughout the events was that ed-tech success begins with a clearly articulated vision for how technology can support student-centered instruction.
