6. 3.1 FEAPs The leader aligns the school’s instructional programs and practices with the Florida Educator Accomplished Practices (Rule 6A-5.065, F.A.C.) and models use of the Florida common language of instruction to guide faculty and staff implementation of the foundational principles and practices.

7. 6.5 Technology Integration The leader employs effective technology integration to enhance decision making and efficiency throughout the school. The leader processes changes and captures opportunities available through social networking tools, accesses and processes information through a variety of online resources, incorporates data-driven decision making with effective technology integration to analyze school results, and develops strategies for coaching staff as they integrate technology into teaching, learning, and assessment processes.

17. Research says… Schools that integrate technology in the most constructive way were those where the principals shared an unwavering vision that technology had the potential to improve student learning.

18. Research says… Studies have shown that teachers who had positive perceptions about the principal’s role in supporting the integration of technology were more likely to integrate technology themselves.

19. Research says… Effective principals should be actively involved with technology including modeling technology use and helping to implement ongoing curriculum-integrated technology staff development.
