The Changing Roles of Administrators Serving as a technology leader may be a difficult position, especially for administrators who have little expertise and much apprehension. However, because technology initiatives depend on human dynamics, school leaders may find support by listening and responding to their teachers' concerns about technology. 12 The need for shared decision making and ownership echoes the findings of the seminal Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow(TM) longitudinal studies. 13 The pressures of increased accountability placed on schools requires administrators to make important and sometimes difficult decisions. Schools must juggle the priorities of its community with curricular demands. As teaching and learning depend more upon technology, administrators are faced with selecting appropriate technology that will provide the greatest return on investment—often with limited funds. Few administrators have the training or time to evaluate rapidly changing educational technology and must rely on the expertise of others to effectively purchase, support, and integrate technology in the school. Technology, too, provides decision-making support and further impacts the roles of administrators. Schools must demonstrate efficacy based on a wide range of data. The mountains of data generated over a school year can be overwhelming. Data-based decision-making tools make it possible to gather, store, and analyze a great deal of data that can drive school practice, but these tools place new demands upon administrators and require new skills.
