School Administrators Technology Leadership Self-Assessment Survey: Leading Instruction with

New Technologies (Chapter 2)

Directions: Please respond to each item by circling a number from 1 to 5, where 5 = strongly

agree; 4 = agree; 3 = neutral; 2 = disagree; 1 = strongly disagree.

This survey is based on National Education Technology Plan (NETP) Goals 1 and 2

(NETP 1.0 to 1.4 and NETP 2.0 to 2.5) and National Educational Technology Standards and

Performance Indicators for Administrators (NETS.A) Standard 2 (NETS.A 2.a, 2.b, 2.c, 2.d, 2.e).

5 = strongly agree (SA); 4 = agree (A); 3 = neutral (N); 2 = disagree

SA A N D SD
(D); 1 = strongly disagree (SD)

1 I empower students to be meaningful participants in a globally

5 4 3 2 1
networked society (NETP 1.0).

2 I encourage my states department of education to use technology in

5 4 3 2 1
implementing standards in all content areas (NETP 1.1).

3 Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles are the basis for
5 4 3 2 1
technology-based learning resources (NETP 1.2).

4 I support the availability of online and blended online/in-class courses

5 4 3 2 1
for all students (NETP 1.3).
5 = strongly agree (SA); 4 = agree (A); 3 = neutral (N); 2 = disagree
SA A N D SD
(D); 1 = strongly disagree (SD)

5 I encourage the use of digital age tools to improve the science,

technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills of all students 5 4 3 2 1
in my school or district (NETP 1.4).

6 In our district or school, we assess what matters in order to improve

5 4 3 2 1
instruction (NETP 2.0).

7 In our district or school, assessment data is used to give timely and

5 4 3 2 1
actionable feedback on student performance (NETP 2.1).

8 We use technology in our school or district to improve both formative

5 4 3 2 1
and summative assessments (NETP 2.2).

9 In order to motivate learners in our school(s), we use embedded

assessment technologies, (NETP 2.3) such as:
(a) simulations; 5 4 3 2 1
(b) virtual worlds; 5 4 3 2 1
(c) augmented realities; 5 4 3 2 1
(d) gaming; 5 4 3 2 1
(e) cognitive tutors; 5 4 3 2 1
(f) online collaborations. 5 4 3 2 1

10 Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles are the basis for
5 4 3 2 1
many assessments of what all students need to learn (NETP 2.4).

11 Student privacy is ensured when assessment data is shared with key

5 4 3 2 1
stakeholders in order to improve learning (NETP 2.5).

12 I empower my teacher colleagues to take risks with technology in

5 4 3 2 1
order to improve instruction (NETS.A 2.a)

13 As I model the use of emerging technologies in my school or district,

5 4 3 2 1
I also promote their use in learning (NETS.A 2.b).
5 = strongly agree (SA); 4 = agree (A); 3 = neutral (N); 2 = disagree
SA A N D SD
(D); 1 = strongly disagree (SD)

14 Instruction in our school or district is enhanced by advances in

technology in order for it to be (NETS.A 2.c):
(a) learner centered; 5 4 3 2 1
(b) differentiated; 5 4 3 2 1
(c) fully accessed by special education students; 5 4 3 2 1
(d) fully accessed by students in rural areas; 5 4 3 2 1
(e) fully accessed by students in low socio-economic
5 4 3 2 1
households;
(f) fully accessed by English language learners (ELLs); 5 4 3 2 1
(g) fully accessed by gifted students. 5 4 3 2 1

15 I ensure that new technologies are researched and implemented

5 4 3 2 1
where appropriate across the curriculum (NETS.A 2.d).

16 I practice digital age collaboration by participating in professional

online learning communities (NETS.A 2.e):
(a) locally; 5 4 3 2 1
(b) statewide; 5 4 3 2 1
(c) nationally; 5 4 3 2 1
(d) globally. 5 4 3 2 1
