XSchool 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).
