Tech & Learning is bringing their new regional Leadership Summits to Orlando on January 24, just before the FETC conference. School district administrators can register at no charge for this event here.
The Orlando Tech & Learning Leadership Summit, part of a monthly series taking place in select regions around the country, offers district leaders to gather in a relaxed setting in which they can talk candidly with their peers and industry leaders about developing effective district strategic plans.
Our MC for the day will be edtech luminary Carl Hooker, who will bring his enthusiasm and passion for education to the Orlando Summit as he will facilitate fun and interactive conversations throughout the day to ensure attendees walk away with innovative ideas they can put into action.
The day will kick off with a keynote by Diane Doersch, Technical Project Director at Digital Promise. Her presentation, “How to Develop a Diverse School Staff” will offer tactical guidelines that can support district efforts to diversify your staff.
Attendees will then have the opportunity to discuss a variety of topics in small group sessions, to share their challenges and success, and learn from their colleagues. Session topics include:
- “Learning Loss” -- or “Learning Realignment?”: How are districts assessing and addressing learning loss -- and gains? And are these assessments delivering an accurate, unbiased picture of what students are learning? Attendees will share their experiences and perspectives.
- Data Privacy & Security: How do districts manage access to data in safe, efficient ways? Attendees share their policies and best practices.
- Career & College Readiness: How are schools preparing their students for jobs that might not yet exist? This session explores the importance of developing the soft skills needed for tomorrow’s workforce.
- Technology Management/Building Sustainable Classrooms: How are districts building a sustainable, equitable technology infrastructure? How are they ensuring all students are connected? Attendees discuss their plans for device management/refreshes, and building robust, scalable networks.
- Changing Pedagogy: How has the pandemic changed the ways schools teach and students learn? Attendees explore new approaches to innovative pedagogy.
- Rethinking Learning Spaces: In this session, attendees will discuss how they have created effective learning spaces and what technology they use to support these new spaces.
The event will culminate with a closing dinner at the Citrus Club, where attendees can continue the conversations and grow their PLNs.
