This grant provided funding to NCSU’s Friday Institute to extend coaching and implementation support to new and existing district leadership teams that launched digital learning initiatives at the school and/or district levels. The project utilized the Golden LEAF Grantee Capacity Building Model to assist local education agencies with building a sustainable foundation to infuse technology-rich instructional practice into teaching and learning. Funds were used to provide experienced coaches to Golden LEAF grantees/districts as they implemented digital learning and to host structured peer-to-peer learning opportunities for leadership teams to drive continuous improvement and sustain practice. Project activities included assisting leadership teams with developing comprehensive plans to guide implementation, providing on-site coaching and technical assistance, and using process data to continuously improve and sustain practice in their school or district. The project resulted in a broad leadership foundation designed to increase grantees’ ability to sustain practice.
