In addition to navigating APS through the pandemic, Elder has committed to making APS classrooms culturally and linguistically responsive. Under his guidance, the district rolled out a new equity plan that outlines a dozen steps to achieving racial and education equity and reducing barriers for students and parents. This includes more culturally responsive instruction, improved hiring practices, better resource allocation and access, improved school climates, and anti-racism training for staff.

  • Day 1 - November 3rd

    Thursday

  • 1:00  - 2:00
    Many school districts around the country greatly expanded their use of both devices and online programs during the pandemic. They’ve faced a difficult decision since then, in figuring out what learning tools and systems they keep, and what they discard. In this session, we talk with districts that are going through a re-calibration of their tech use since the passing of the worst of COVID, and why they choose to pare down various forms of ed-tech, and add others. We will ask them about competing factors in play, from parent concerns about screen time to tech limitations to teachers’ new comfort with many forms of digital tools.
