abstract: Various  studies  on  educational  leadership  focus  on principals  rather  than the  role  of middle  leaders,  who  are  also  the  backbone  of  educational leadership. While  principals will typically set the vision or mission of today’s digital education, the reality is that they rely  heavily  on  a  team  of  middle  leaders  to  effectuate  it. Thisrelianceis  because  the middle  leaders  can  directly  lead  teachers  to  determine  their  eventual  success.  In  other words, middle leaders are more capable of influencing teachers to use mobile technology devices as a practice in the classroom because of their uniqueness and daily interaction with teachers, especially in daily instructional matters. Thus, this study aims to examine the  level  of  technology  leadership  of  middle  leaders  and  the  adoption  of  mobile technology.  Subsequently,  this  study  examined  the  relationship  between  technology leadership and teachers’ acceptance of mobile technology. A quantitative approach has been chosen in this study. The survey was conducted at a school in Padang Terap District with  30  respondents, usingthe  Technology  Leadership  Adopted  by  Middle  Leaders questionnaire by Leong et al. (2016) and the Adoption of Mobile Technology by Mohd Norakmar (2021). Descriptive analysis revealed that the technological leadership level of middle leaders  was high (M  =  3.80, SP =  0.51). Likewise, their level of acceptance  of mobile technology was also high (M = 4.11, SP = 0.34). Meanwhile, Pearson’s correlation test   showed   a   strong   positive   correlation   between   mid-level  leaders’  technology leadership and mobile technology adoption (r = 0.75, p = 0.00). Therefore, every middle leader must build the character of a technology leader, especially to become an icon to teachers  in  the  acceptance  of  mobile  technology,  to  survive  the  current  era  of  digital education, and to mitigate difficulties in manifestingeducational changes.
