Integrating Digital Leadership in an Educational Supervision Context: a Critical Appraisal

Abstract

Educational supervision is closely related to establishing instructional efficiency, and supervision is a multidimensional concept that varies from one setting to another. Application of contemporary tools, however, facilitates mediation of this complex and dynamic process. At the same time, it intends to help schools to establish digital education leadership. The paper herein, presents different methods through which digital leadership can be carried out. This study includes scientific supervision, transactional efforts, and transformational approach. The study suggests that digital and transformational leadership approaches can be blended to inspire leadership teams and leaders in educational supervision to innovate and come up with ideas, objectives and goals that lead change by using an all-around technological approach. The study further presents the benefits for schools to have an integrated leadership approach within educational supervision.
