The Influence of COVID-19 on Campus Leaders' Curriculum Integration, Perceptions Towards, and Acquired Expertise in Technology

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of COVID-19 on campus leaders' curriculum integration, perceptions towards the usage, and acquired experience in technology. A purposeful sample of 171 Texas K-12 campus administrators completed the Principal's Computer Technology Survey. Of those, 10 lead campus administrators participated in one-on-one semi-structured interviews. Findings indicated campus leaders' curriculum integration and perceptions towards technology were significantly influenced by COVID-19. Campus leaders admitted that COVID-19 had an impact on relying more on technology regarding communication, teachers requiring more in terms of emotional, behavioral, and technological support, and the use of technology as a replacement versus creation. Key Words: curriculum integration of technology, use of technology, acquired expertise in technology, campus administrators, emotional support, behavioral support, technological support
