| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article seeks to shed light onto principals’ leadership perceptions and skills while leading their staff into implementing educational national reforms developed by state authorities in Israel. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with teachers and principals in five schools implementing the National Information and Communication Technologies Plan for the 21st Century. Teachers’ readiness and commitment to the reform were influenced by principals’ enthusiasm towards the reform vision and its potential contributions to the school; their ability to listen, provide support and individual feedback skills. Principals who made efforts to learn and use ICT skills were role models who inspired teachers’ motivation-transformational leadership. |
