Breaking with the Past: Embracing Digital Transformation in Education
Brizard, Jean-Claude
Digital Promise
Talladega County Schools (TCBOE) spans 760 square miles and serves about 7,000 learners, 71 percent of whom receive free and reduced-priced meals. It also is a member of the League of Innovative Schools, a network of forward-looking school districts that have declared their commitment to improving and advancing equitable outcomes for students through innovative solutions, including those powered by the smart use of learning technologies. This white paper examines how the traditional one-size-fits-all approach to teaching and learning compares to more learner-centered, personalized, and motivating frameworks; why there needs to transition to them at scale; and how digital technologies now enable that scaling. It is also a companion to the report, "Delivering on the Promise of Digital Equity" (ED626483) which is designed to help state and local community leaders find effective ways for investing in K-12 education to increase digital equity.
