Tyrone Jerod Kohn
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Grand Canyon University
The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how high school administrators perceived their foundational knowledge necessary to lead in technology and implement the ISTE for Education Leaders at a school district in Texas. The research used the International Society for Technology in Education for Education Leaders as a conceptual framework. Two research questions guided the study. Data were collected through individual interviews and a focus group with school administrators. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Themes found regarding the research were: 1) Administrators ensure students have skilled teachers who use technology, and students have access to technology that is ethical and safe; 2) Administrators ensure students are ready for the 21st-century, and students have technology that is up-to-date to foster growth; 3) Administrators support educators in their use of technology, in using technology to evaluate students and ensuring they themselves are up-to-date with the latest technology standards; 4) Administrators implement the ISTE for Education Leaders through professional development, team leadership, resource sufficiency and partnerships with the community; and 5) Administrators implement the ISTE for Education Leaders through participation in online learning networks and engagement in reflective practices through meetings and by data reports.
