Derek L. McCoy discusses his journey in digital leadership and the NELA 2.0 Principal Academy. The purpose is to provide challenges and possibilities, share a vision for digital leadership, discuss strategic planning, and focus on improving student learning outcomes. Digital leadership is about principal growth and changing learning and teaching in schools. It is not about technology formats but improving student learning through communication, public relations, branding, student engagement, and professional development.
