Remote and hybrid work environments have grown in popularity over a number of years, and this trend, like so many others, has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The trend is now impacting school districts just as it is transforming other workplaces and industries.
In considering schools’ teaching and learning objectives, and the tools and technologies we use to best equip students with future-ready skills, predicting and understanding the “future of work” is an important factor. How can district leaders address their immediate needs while simultaneously redefining work environments and building the edtech leadership to support them?
Today’s guests are technology leaders from large school districts around the country: Steve Langford, Chief Information Officer of Beaverton School District in Oregon; Allen Miedema, Executive Director for Technology for Northshore School District in Washington; and Freddie Cox, Chief Technology Officer for Knox County Schools in Tennessee. They chat with edCircuit about the hybrid work environments they’ve developed in their districts, what a positive culture looks like in a remote environment, and more.
This is the first of three episodes aligned to CoSN’s Large District Great Minds Series, in which leaders from large school districts across the country are engaging in meaningful peer conversations, and working alongside CoSN to incubate and drive innovative practices designed to solve districts’ unique challenges as we move into the new era of hybrid learning.
The Large Districts Great Minds Series is sponsored by Amazon Web Services, Classlink, Clever, ContentKeeper Technologies, ENA and CatchOn, FileWave, and Google.
