Education Leadership Profile
Apple has identified five best practices that are common among Apple Distinguished
Schools and Apple Distinguished Programs implementing successful one-to-one learning
initiatives.
The Education Leadership Profile is an online self-assessment designed to be taken by an
institution’s leadership team. It provides leaders valuable insights into how their institution
is progressing in its implementation of the five best practices.
The survey breaks out key components from each of the practices and how they relate to
three groups of stakeholders - leadership, teachers and students - together with a fourth
category related to supporting factors and personnel.
An individual leader’s score, while providing a good perspective on how a leader views
his or her institution, is nonetheless flawed as a measure of that institution’s actual status.
For a more accurate measure, several leadership perspectives need to be weighted and
aggregated accordingly. The more perspectives that are brought to the table, the more
accurate the resulting score and picture.
When the Education Leadership Profile is experienced as part of the Education Strategic
Planning Series, it engages the entire leadership team in understanding the five best
practices and creating actionable steps that move their goals from vision to reality. Along
with the Education Technology Profile, it provides a data-driven view of their technology
initiative’s impact on learning and teaching.
