The purpose of this grant was to provide funding to the NCSU Friday Institute for Phase III of an ongoing leadership support project for K-12 digital learning initiatives. This project further developed and extended the statewide replication of professional learning for school administrators, teachers, and staff supporting digital learning implementation in North Carolina’s K-12 schools. Following a model developed in work across sixteen NC districts in 2015, the Friday Institute provided coaching in digital leadership with thirteen new school leadership teams. The model provided needed support in planning and implementation strategies to launch successful digital learning initiatives at the school level and across districts. Golden LEAF funds were used for personnel, travel, and meetings.
