Dr. Kim Buryanek, Associate Superintendent, Sioux City Community School District (IA) @KBuryanek

Moderator:

Dr. Avril Smart Goggans, Research and Engagement Manager, Future Ready Schools®, Alliance for Excellent Education (@DrAvrilSmart)

In this webinar, Jerry Almendarez and Dr. Kim Buryanek will discuss their participation in the Future Ready Schools Digital Equity Program and their efforts to use technology to address inequities among their district’s underperforming students.

Colton Joint Unified leveraged in-person video conferencing to increase opportunities for high school students to access advanced placement courses. Sioux City Schools created a personalized professional learning program for teachers in the district that increased their knowledge and skills in implementing technology-enhanced curriculum in the classroom.

Both panelists’ unique approach to planning and implementing Future Ready initiatives provide two important examples of making equity a priority.

During the webinar, panelists will discuss:

• motivating factors behind each district’s decision to focus on equity;


• how inequities among vulnerable students in the district were exposed in performance data;


• specific steps the district leadership teams took to unpack their challenges and later devise a plan;


• lessons learned from their digital equity efforts and plans for the future.
