Digital Leadership in Education

August 8, 2025

Course Description

With society becoming more and more reliant on technology, it is incumbent upon leaders to harness the power of digital technologies to create school cultures that are transparent, relevant, meaningful, engaging, and inspiring.

In order to set the stage for increasing achievement and to establish a greater sense of community pride for the work being done in our schools, we must begin to change the way we lead. To do this, leaders must understand the origins of fear and misconceptions that often surround the use of technology, such as social media and mobile devices. Effective leadership is extremely important in any system, but it is even more imperative in schools if we are to provide all learners with a world-class education. This education has to be relevant, meaningful, and applicable.

Participants will understand the role and functions of leadership, the digital global context: learning, social and economic environments, leading and managing, leading technologies in education, impacts of the internet on schooling and schools, the four levels of technology integration, strategic ICT implementation, and leading for systemic

digital innovation, leading for learning, student voice and digital agency, social and cultural issues, leadership in action case studies, policy formulation and globalisation of education, and international schools.

Methodologies Of The Course

The course methodology incorporates various interactive strategies to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment.

Interactive lectures serve as a foundational element, aiming to actively engage participants by delivering dynamic presentations. These sessions introduce key concepts, theories, and frameworks pertinent to leadership in the digital age. The emphasis is on encouraging active participation and fostering an environment where questions are welcomed, thereby promoting a deeper understanding of the material.

Real-world case studies are utilized to provide practical insights into effective leadership strategies, digital innovation, and the resolution of challenges within diverse educational settings. Through the analysis of successful leadership practices, participants develop critical thinking and decision-making skills. This approach ensures that theoretical knowledge is complemented by tangible examples and applicable scenarios.

Facilitating group discussions and debates further enriches the learning experience. By encouraging participants to share their perspectives and experiences related to leadership and technology integration, these sessions promote a collaborative learning environment. Structured debates on relevant topics stimulate critical analysis and expose participants to diverse viewpoints, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of leadership dynamics.

Practical application is emphasized through hands-on workshops, where participants apply leadership principles in simulated scenarios. These workshops also provide a hands-on experience with emerging technologies, enhancing participants’ comfort and proficiency in utilizing these tools effectively.

To enhance the learning experience and promote a peer-driven approach, the course integrates peer feedback mechanisms. Participants are encouraged to evaluate and learn from each other, providing constructive feedback on presentations, projects, and collaborative efforts. This collaborative evaluation process contributes to a more interactive and participatory learning environment, enriching the overall educational experience.
