| | AUGUST - 20238IN MY OPINION It seems like for the last few years, society has been living in constant change and dissonance in educational matters, civil matters, and domestic matters. These changes have caused some good people to walk away from the education profession, citing new skill sets and challenges that have been too much for them to handle. Nevertheless, problems of educational practice consistently persist, and it is imperative that leaders come together to find ways to build upon strong foundations.Leaders of education, including educational technologists, have an obligation to help others enact innovation for the better through their work with their colleagues in the classroom. However, this obligation must not come in the form of an edict but rather as inspiration to those who can have a direct effect on student achievement: teachers. To achieve this, leaders need to articulate a vision and hold those accountable for change while encouraging continuous feedback for real-time adjustments.LEADERSHIP FOR CHANGE: BUILDING A VISION AND ENCOURAGING SHARED RESPONSIBILITYBy Jennifer Rowan, Director of Technology, Jefferson County SchoolsJennifer Rowan
