Organizing and Staffing Technology Leadership
Mills, Lane B.
School Administrator, v62 n4 p8 Apr 2005
The organization of technology leadership for school districts is as wide-ranging as the types of technology in our schools. And just as with different hardware and software applications, certain structures of leadership work better for some systems than others. Strong organization skills are needed to manage the myriad of dynamics involved in leading the school system's technology department. Effective project management is crucial to meeting timelines and avoiding problems that could lead to lower productivity and funding crises. With limited budgets and staff, even small mistakes in the planning, selection and installation of technology can become huge issues for the long-term success of the technology program. Ongoing monitoring and communication with all parties involved in technology projects is a crucial need. This article offers some suggestions for organization.
