This study focused on how a municipality in Sweden organized for a new curriculum implementation with the focus on digitalization following the demands from politicians. A compulsory competence development course was initiated for all 40 school leaders in the municipality. The course followed the structure and form provided from the Swedish National Agency for Education.The results showed vast variation among school leaders regarding the understanding of digitalization and how they led processes in their schools.The results call for a thoughtful model of how to capture and act on these differences to secure equal quality of education in the municipality.
