Digital media and advancements in learning technologies have dramatically reshaped the landscape of K-12 education. By 2018, 96% of public schools had the infrastructure required for digital learning. This dissertation evaluates how augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies are integrated into K-12 education, focusing on practical implementation strategies and support mechanisms to optimize their benefits. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, this study uses qualitative feedback from educators and administrators. The analysis identifies nine key themes critical for successful technology integration, including collaborative leadership and the necessity for ongoing professional development. The findings propose a strategic framework emphasizing adaptive leadership and resource management to foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation. This dissertation serves as a roadmap for educators, policymakers, and administrators to effectively utilize AR/VR technologies to improve educational outcomes and prepare students for a technologically advanced future.
