After reviewing this amazing body of research and reflecting on the sage advice, I am honored to offer my endorsement to my colleague and friend, Mr. Darryl Vidal. In this book, once again, the reader is artfully escorted through the complexities of technology, transformation, and educational leadership while simultaneously capturing the intellectual capacities of the senior administrators, the tenured educators, and those new to the field of education. Along with his previous work, this book should be listed as mandatory reading for individuals, young and old, committed to self-reflection and our obligation to effectively educate the next generation of social thinkers.

By leveraging advanced techniques and technologies, while addressing privacy, security and how to deal with AI. Transforming Education is a must-read for all education leaders.
