Esports came to Modesto City Schools in Fall 2021 when two seniors asked administrators to unblock a gaming website. Director of Educational Technology Matthew Ketchum saw an opportunity and wondered if the students at the California district, located about 90 miles east of San Francisco, would want to expand their club into an official esports program.

" Leadership clarity is the light that cuts through the fog of uncertainty, guiding others toward a clear and purposeful path." During my early years as a principal, I was literally flying by the seat of my pants. No one person or program can adequately prepare you for the realities of the job, as things are coming at you from every direction. While putting out fires comes with the territory, the real work lies in developing a learning culture prioritizing relationships and student outcomes.

Education has changed. No longer is it contained within four classroom walls or the physical site of a school building. Students aren’t confined by the eight hours between school bells or the struggling budget of an underfunded program. Now, education can be found anywhere — teaming up with students in Kenya, Skyping with an author in Sweden, or chatting with an astrophysicist on the International Space Station.

During the pandemic, I was grounded for an extensive period of time. It was quite odd and liberating not to be constantly on a plane, train, or in a rental car. Boy, did I make use of my bike since the gyms were closed. While a few of my projects continued, these were few and far between. When I traveled, there was nowhere to go and eat as everything was delivered.

It’s All About Relationships Early in my teaching career, I, like most teachers, experienced moments that showed me education is about much more than instruction. Certainly, the latter sentiment is familiar enough—a cliché or at least idealistic platitude regarding the many roles teachers play in students’ lives, both in class and beyond. But the realities of daily instruction constantly challenge and expand how we understand teaching—not only as a profession, but as a vocation, a calling that d

Years ago, the IT professionals at Leander Independent School District handled device management all on their own. Today, however, that wouldn’t be the best use of their time. The main difference between then and now has to do with the district’s use of one-to-one devices. “We used to have a handful of desktops in each classroom, and you could manage everything easily and efficiently,” says Matt Prause, the district’s senior director of hardware and software support.
