Long Description:
This is a book about change. It is a book about leadership. It is about technology not being the solution, but rather an accelerator of a strong vision. It is a reminder that when things crash and burn, it isn’t time to give up. This book is a conversation with tremendous leaders, all pursuing excellence in teaching through leadership and technology. Igniting Your Leadership with Technology serves as a compilation of interviews with educators, administrators, and instructional leaders working in the field across all grade levels and organizations. Each person shares his or her insights when it comes to effectively implementing technology in the classroom, getting teachers on board, and sustaining high-quality teaching and learning in our schools. We are future Doctors in Educational Leadership, currently studying at Concordia University Irvine. As part of our learning in the course: Technology in a Systems Approach to Leadership, we created an open textbook to support educational leaders looking to ignite their leadership with technology. This course was the third in our doctoral program and utilized a different approach to how we might apply what we were learning in a meaningful and more public way. This work was created under the guidance of Dr. Bonni Stachowiak, to whom we are extremely thankful. “We choose to be motivational leaders grounded in faith who advocate for and empower each other to achieve success through encouragement, collaboration, and transformative learning.” ~ Irvine 9 This statement represents our cohort’s collective mission, which came alive throughout the process of creating this work. Our team’s strengths were vital in being able to accomplish this feat within such a condensed timeframe.
