Digital Equity Framework for District Transformation and Sustainable Implementation

Digital knowledge and skills are required to fully participate in society and the economy. But digital skill gaps negatively impact individuals’ future job opportunities and earning potential, particularly those who have been historically and systematically excluded.
This session presents a framework for how districts can achieve Digital Equity in transformative and sustainable ways. District leaders will present a case study of transformation highlighting how aspects of the framework when activated ensure powerful learning with technology at scale that results in meaningful and transferable digital skills among all students.
The session concludes by examining ways to sustain the innovations, looking toward a competency-based professional learning model to address challenges like teacher turnover and developing a next generation workforce.
Participants will gain an understanding of the Digital Equity framework, explore a roadmap for successful implementation, and discuss the high-leverage digital competencies needed among the workforce to achieve digital equity at scale.
