Alliance for Excellent Education Report Addresses Decisions Affecting the Future of Education

According to a new report from the Alliance for Excellent Education, each school, district, and state leader must make, in the next two years , critical decisions involving digital learning that will shape education for decades. The report, The Nation’s Schools Are Stepping Up to Higher Standards, identifies four key challenges facing public school district leaders and outlines elements for developing a comprehensive digital strategy.

The four key challenges identified in the report that all school district leaders need to face include:

  1. graduating all students college and career ready;
  2. managing shrinking budgets;
  3. training and supporting teachers; and
  4. dealing with the growing technology needs of society and individual students, especially low-income students and students of color who are most at-risk of being left behind.

According to Wise and the Alliance, many school districts have already stepped up to address these challenges by developing comprehensive plans for digital learning strategies, while other districts are in the process of implementing aspects of digital learning. On the other hand, many districts have yet to begin preparation.
