Solving Digital Equity Challenges: Two Superintendents' Collaborative Leadership Strategies

The growing impact of the lack of appropriate access to digital resources - whether at home or at school - is a reality that all school leaders must continue to address. In this panel session three leading edge Superintendents share the challenges involved in achieving digital equity within their communities and the strategies they are leading to successfully solve many of those issues as they work in partnership with their CTOs and other district and school leaders. The conversation among two Superintendents will focus on five key areas of digital equity including connectivity, hardware, teaching and learning, digital citizenship and tech support. The leadership approaches needed to assure a dual focus on both digital equity and digital inclusion within a school district’s vision and mission will also be addressed.
