ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Texas A&M University - Commerce
To date, limited research has been done into the perceptions of campus leaders regarding the leadership initiatives in implementing technology in rural Texas high schools. Texas ranks number one in the United States for the total number of rural schools, and those schools are scattered across 20 geographical regions. Out of the 20 educational regions in Texas, Region VII ranks the highest in the state for total number of rural schools in a single region. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the perceptions of administrators in the region of Texas with the highest concentration of rural schools. The participants in this study all had hands on, direct experiences as a campus leader in regards to technology implementations. The goal of this researcher was to accurately re-tell the participants' experiences so that other practitioners may use the knowledge, expertise, and perceptions shared to improve their practice. The data were gathered from participants who completed an initial questionnaire and then completed a follow-up semi-structured interview through Zoom. The participants met the following criteria: (a) they worked in a school district in Region VII, (b) they earned the highest accreditation from the Texas Education Agency, and (c) they had to have been in the district for a minimum of 3 school years.
