The Google Admin Leadership Circle equips school and district leaders with the skills, strategies, and confidence to harness the full potential of Google Workspace in their daily leadership practices, in addition to the inclusion of relevant and applicable education technology and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI).  This initiative is built to empower educational leaders, not just with tools, but with the mindset and systems to drive meaningful change.  Whether you are managing a campus, a district, or a specialized program, the Circle supports you in becoming a more tech-savvy, collaborative, and visionary leader.

Digital literacy is essential for building future-ready schools, it empowers students and staff to think critically, use technology responsibly, and engage ethically in digital spaces.  While GenAI literacy is important, it cannot replace foundational digital skills or digital citizenship, which remain critical for sustaining safe, equitable, and effective technology use in education.  

In a post-pandemic, AI-driven world, digital literacy is no longer a support, it is a pillar of an effective classroom or organization.  During this Circle, we will explore strategies for implementing and sustaining digital literacy across school systems, focusing on how leaders can build capacity, model best practices, and embed digital fluency into everyday learning.  We will also discuss how GenAI and shifts in digital engagement have reshaped what students and educators need, and how to clearly communicate the importance of digital literacy to our educational partners as a core equity and innovation priority and not just "another tech initiative."
