Lastly, it investigates the relationship between the time campus principals invested in technology-related\u00a0professional\u00a0development\u00a0and teachers&#8217; adoption of\u00a0digital\u00a0platforms\u00a0at their respective campuses. Surveys and administrative records were collected from\u00a0schools\u00a0within the district to gather data for the research. Ultimately, this research seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the factors influencing the successful adoption of\u00a0digital\u00a0platforms\u00a0during\u00a0the pandemic and to inform future strategies for\u00a0professional\u00a0development\u00a0and technology integration in\u00a0middle\u00a0schools.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Castro, C.
