The model of developing leadership capacity is at the forefront of my mind these days and the expectations of leaders is increasingly becoming more difficult to keep up. I find that creating a stable and focused leadership praxis is important to engaging the students and teachers of our school communities.
The graphic below is my learning ecology tree. It describes what I believe to be the contextualization of the 3 spaces we ask our students to work in. The context that I chose was not from a classroom perspective but from a division perspective on technology implementation and usage. My tree contains each of the spaces with which our learning ecology discussion supports. Each branch is connected and supported by the understanding that understanding of technology and digital pedagogy is important for student, staff and school success in an environment that is inundated with social media and other platforms. The highlight of my tree is with respect to the virtual understanding learning ecology. In my case, the idea of engagement is the focal point of my piece because as it has been stated in the class..."students are the digital natives, we are just the visitors".

If we want our students and staff to thrive we must provide infrastructure and environment for this to happen. So, looking at the how we can help implement programs like the BYOD for students and following the SAMR model for teachers (SAMR Model) of substitution, augmentation, modification and redefinition to reframe teaching models is paramount to student and staff success.
As far as an end goal for my model below is to create a stronger root structure to help support those who need it but also allowing for the development of the new foliage of innovation and design.
