School Administrator's Technology Leadership Self-Assessment Survey

1. School Administrator’s 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
(D); 1 = strongly disagree (SD)

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 many
assessments of what all students need to learn (NETP 2.4).

11 Student privacy is ensured when assessment data is shared with key
stakeholders in order to improve learning (NETP 2.5).

12 I empower my teacher colleagues to take risks with technology in order
to improve instruction (NETS.A 2.a)

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

appropriate across the curriculum (NETS.A 2.d).
