3 Innovative Solutions to Combat EdTech Issues CDEtop30

Problem - Lack of Tech Expertise & Funding for Learning Opportunities

Solution: Developing and leveraging partnerships to build expertise across the district in using cutting-edge technology.

The Story
Not long after Carmen Farina was appointed as school chancellor in 2014, she noticed that while schools were equipped with technology few teachers were using it to transform teaching and learning. The problem started two years prior when the U.S. Department of Education has failed to reauthorize funding to enhance education through technology so in http://liveeconcerts.blogspot.com /2012/06/students-empower-each-other-their.html" style="text-decoration: none;"> August 2012 ed tech offices in all five boroughs of New York City were shut down as the funding ran dry. The Ed Tech Director and staff developer positions across the city were eliminated. It�s no surprise that a few years later the lack of support was evident in classrooms.

When tech isn�t used effectively it is not only the schools that suffer and look bad; it is also those who provide the technology to the schools who look bad. So I reached out to leaders at the technology resources most commonly used in schools. Places like Google, Microsoft, PBS, SMART, Promethean, BrainPop, and Common Sense Education. I asked them to work with me to build cohorts of teachers who would become certified in the use of their product. The solution implemented was the Innovation Partner Professional Professional Development program.

To do this interested educators would complete an application which would help identify across the city those who already know and love the product and have experience in sharing what they learn with others. We would bring these teachers together to connect with each other, have a direct connection with the company, and of course share their knowledge across the schools and districts. As a result we had experts and evangelists across the city that could ensure tech resources were used effectively.

This was a win-win that has ultimately resulted in more than 1000 experts identified and developed across the city. They can now support teachers in a number of ways. Some are inviting others to visit their classrooms to see how to implement the technology in which they have expertise. Some are recording or live streaming the work they do to share with others interested in their work. Most are providing support to colleagues in online communities. Nearly all are sharing what they learned by providing professional learning opportunities to teachers during weekly professional development time, conference days in the city and some are even speaking at conferences both nationally and internationally.  

When companies and school systems partner to develop educator expertise, everybody wins.
