The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine those factors influencing a teacher's level of adaptation to a one-to-one laptop program in a middle-school setting. The school chosen for this study is located in a semi-rural district with approximately 500 students in sixth through eighth grade. Over the past 10 years, the school district has implemented a one-to-one laptop program with students currently having access to their own personal computer each day. Collins's (2007) technology, leadership management, and policy pyramid model provided a framework for this analysis. Teachers' perceptions of leadership support for the planning activities, organizational integration activities, and maintenance activities revealed a deeper understanding of leadership's role in initiating and sustaining the laptop program. District administrator interviews provided an additional perspective of the program's implementation. The findings suggest leadership's role in a change process does impact a teacher's level of adaptation to a new technology program. Future studies should consider the role of leadership in technology innovations and leadership's influence on teacher technology adaptation.
