itslearning Introduces New E-book on Closing the Equity Gap in Education
“Technology + Curriculum = Equity” uses the example of the Houston Independent School District to explain how technology and curriculum can improve learning equity
In its new e-book, “Technology + Curriculum = Equity,” itslearning advocates for the pairing of educational technology with curriculum as the best approach for improving educational equity for K-12 students.
As proof of the efficacy of this approach, the e-book cites the efforts of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) to close its learning equity gap through the implementation of its “HUB” digital ecosystem and the gains in learning achieved with the initial pilot for all students, including Hispanic, African American, and economically disadvantaged pupils. Powered by itslearning, the HUB is a district-wide learning management system where students and teachers can access exemplar courses and standards-aligned digital resources and also create, communicate and collaborate.
