Abstract:
This paper proposes a model for leading technological change. The researcher focuses on teachers and principals, who are the constant support of the education system in East Jerusalem. Thus, technological change is expected to help them increase their capacity to achieve educational goals. The scope of the research is limited to the private secondary schools operating in the East Jerusalem area. Three research questions and objectives focus on the need to implement technological change and the professional development of teachers in private schools in East Jerusalem. The research followed quantitative methods and simple random sampling. Participants are teachers working in East Jerusalem Private Secondary Schools, and the sample size is 402. Data analysis is conducted using SPSS. Findings of the research paper define the high value of significance, i.e., 0.7, which means that the role of leaders in technological change and professional development cannot be ignored. Future research may investigate longitudinal studies to study the long-term impact of principals' leadership in technological change on professional development and students' outcomes.
