Leadership in the modern workplace
School leaders carry a heavy workload that shouldn't be made more difficult by the technology they use. This learning path unlocks the possibilities of the modern workplace using the Microsoft 365 suite as a complete solution.
System and school leadership will see the potential for creating a collaborative school environment by elevating the role of the teacher, increasing teacher ownership and autonomy, and shifting the focus from knowing to doing.
These modules are organized by leadership standards and aligned to ISTE standards. You'll also find that pillars of the Education Transformation Framework (ETF) are embedded throughout each module as well. This learning path provides ways to implement tools effectively and demonstrate real-world use cases to help transform the school environment.

These resources include but are not limited do the tools found in the Microsoft 365 suite. These applications can help school leaders promote a safe, efficient, and effective learning environment.
