Playbook: A K-12 Leader's Guide to Making Strategic Technology Decisions

Technology in the K-12 sector presents a dichotomy: opening doors to exciting new ways of learning while potentially creating new challenges. Administrators are constantly approached to consider new platforms and technology possibilities, but products that are impressive in isolation can fail if the timing and purpose aren’t aligned with the district’s needs.

This playbook provides a step-by-step process for selecting and rolling out technology that moves district goals forward, without overwhelming teams or falling into traps that derail even well-intentioned initiatives. From the boardroom to the classroom, results are within reach.

Highlights include:

• Two common pitfalls to be aware of before making decisions, and how a disciplined process can overcome them.
• Guidance through more strategic technology decisions, including meaningful teacher involvement, and how to define a clear vision.
• The critical step of an ongoing ROI-proving process once a technology is implemented.
