EdTech Innovation to Drive K12 Equity (S2,E6)

EdTech Innovation to Drive K-12 Equity - S2E6

Listen to the Article:

To better understand the meaningful trends happening in K12 equity, we must connect innovative practices with their practical purpose, particularly the ways in which innovation improves equity, access and outcomes.

“Innovative” may be an overused buzzword in some corners of the education technology marketplace, but that doesn’t contradict the reality that innovation is happening in schools across the U.S,  So, what does a truly innovative school look like and what might we expect to see develop within the next 5-10 years?

Tom Davis is the guest on this episode and he shares a thoughtful perspective developed as a result of decades working closely with diverse groups of district leaders across the country. 

Tom discusses the essential link between innovation and equity; how stakeholders from across the district, including tech directors, principals and teachers, must collaborate to drive meaningful innovation; how current funding packages, including ESSER, present both an opportunity and urgency around long-term planning; and what edtech leaders can learn from basketball players.
