This comprehensive research delves deeply into the pivotal role of principals' informatization leadership in driving forward Chinese vocational schools, employing a multifaceted approach grounded in the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards. Principals play a crucial role in shaping the educational landscape, particularly in the integration of technology. Through meticulous evaluation across dimensions such as Equity and Citizenship Advocacy, Visionary Planning, Empowerment, System Design, and Connected Learning, the study uncovers the transformative impact of their leadership. The research methodology involved the utilization of quantitative data gathered from a survey conducted among teachers at Yichun Vocational Technical College. This survey aimed to assess the perceived impact of principals' leadership on various dimensions of school advancement, including leadership style and vision, IT investment and resource allocation, IT governance practices and policies, and responses to external factors. Findings from the survey reveal the visionary planning, empowerment of educators and students, adept system design, and unwavering commitment to continuous learning were demonstrated by principals. The study also underscores the critical importance of strategic resource allocation, effective IT governance, and adaptability to external influences, while also acknowledging minor existing gaps within the current system. These insights contribute significantly to a nuanced understanding of effective leadership strategies for seamlessly integrating technology into vocational education. Furthermore, the study serves as a catalyst for the formulation of an enhanced Educational Leadership Management Program, meticulously designed to address the specific needs and challenges identified through the study's findings.
