Challenges and risks
• Seat time
• Teacher certifications
• Geographic restrictions
• Little provision for broadband/wireless
• Old funding models
• Little autonomy
• In general, focus on inputs instead of outcomes
Old policies with unintended legacies
“Race to the Bottom” in terms of quality
Sloppy systems and training
• Poor purchasing strategies
• Cutting costs above all else
• Lack of accountability
• Lack of data
• Inability to act based on data
• Poor interoperability among systems
• New technology crammed into old teaching models
• Antiquated professional development
Policy priorities
Tie funding to outcomes. Prevent the cost cutting “race-to-the-bottom” trap
Act on Digital Learning Now! recommendations
Create uncapped autonomous zones for innovation
Eliminate input-based rules (ratios, certifications, procedures, etc.)
Focus on outputs (the what), not inputs (the how)
