Apple has worked with education researchers and Apple Distinguished Schools to learn what it takes to build successful deployments. Those findings are compiled in the Apple Leadership series of books, with insights and learnings from similar deployments that can help you and your leadership team establish a vision for your own initiative. For example:
Innovation in Schools shows how innovative leaders leverage technology to develop learning, teaching, and their school environment. It outlines the stages of innovation we see schools go through when they introduce, integrate, then innovate with new technology.
Elements of Leadership explores developing strategies around vision, culture, capacity, team, community, finance, and measure—to influence learning, teaching, and the environment of your school.
