Leadership Team

A cross-functional leadership team sets a clear vision for the school, its culture, and what teaching

and learning look like before putting technology in classrooms.

All subtopics align with the VILS outcomes and guiding questions align with the criteria in the Portfolio Framework Guide. Use the questions to guide your reflection on the artifacts to narrate your journey toward the goals.
