The knowledge gap

I was recently cited in an Education Week

article, The

Knowledge Gap

, that addressed the technology-related knowledge of school

leaders. The article echoes many of the themes from two of my articles last

year, The

Absence of Leadership

and A

Responsibility for Asking the Right Questions

.

Here’s the quote they pulled out as a highlight:

The people who are in charge of facilitating schools’ transition to the

digital global economy – superintendents and principals – are typically the

least knowledgeable about the digital global economy. It’s

scary.

Happy reading!
