Take leadership out of a digital transformation and you miss the
foundation on which everything else is built.
The traditional notion of leadership - people with titles - is no longer
valid. For digital transformations to be successful, leadership must be
developed and distributed at all levels of the system - district, school
board, building, teacher and student.

Frequent opportunities for professional learning keep your digital transformation
goals at the forefront with everyone in the organization focused on
transformational learning, professionally and for our students.
While everyone needs a common language around technology and pedagogy,
effective supports meet teachers and leaders where they are and challenge them
to embrace a growth mindset for continuous improvement. Building and district
leaders must work collaboratively to ensure the individual and collective needs of
teachers and leaders are being met.

Every digital transformation should have clearly defined goals and a plan to
document progress toward those goals. Taken together, clear goals and a plan for
evaluation are the rudder of an effective digital transformation.
Evaluation and assessment require a significant investment of human resources,
particularly in the area of time. However, the data collected and results shared will
be invaluable in informing the short-term and long-term vision of the initiative.
