The US EdTech landscape is crowded, yet the disconnect between district needs and market solutions remains a critical barrier to student success. To solve the challenge of High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) adoption, we must align the goals of innovators, districts, and policymakers.
Join EdSignals Studio for a specialized briefing and panel discussion. We are bringing together voices from the district office, the research lab, and the innovation sector to dissect the real-world drivers and barriers to EdTech adoption.
The Agenda
- A brief from EdSignals Studio on our research into the EdTech creation and adoption journeys
- Insights from ISTE+ASCD on how to define and measure quality in a crowded market.
- A view from the Fullerton School District and the California Ed Tech JPA on what school systems actually need versus what they are sold.
- Perspectives from the Stanford d.school on designing for equity and accessibility from day one.
