Abstract

This correlational study examined which leadership practices best predict technology integration. A sample of 361 K-12 teachers from six suburban school districts in Northwest Ohio completed the 21st Century Technology Integration and Teacher Leadership (21-TITL) instrument online, which utilized Kouzes and Posner’s Leadership Practices model (2003). Multiple regression results generated a one factor model—Challenge the Process—as best predicting Overall Technology Integration.
