Rethinking the Enterprise Learning Ecosystem: A New Model for Building K-12 Technology Solutions

All too often today, our vision of supporting educational excellence in our students is not part of the conversation when we talk about business and technology systems. We draw an artificial line between systems and processes that support student learning and those that support the operational and business side of our institutions. This divide is engrained in the organizational chart, policies, and culture of many districts. Mike Rocco, Director, K-12 Solution Specialists, will discuss the following:

  • Reform: Provides meaningful data that drives systematic improvements.
  • Administration: Helps manage the flow of information between systems and users.
  • Accountability: Aids in meeting regulatory, audit, local, and public accountability needs.
  • Action: Supports high-quality classroom interactions that drive student success.
