Description¶

Step 4 directs leaders to "Provide professional learning throughout pilot period to ensure educators are prepared to effectively use the tool, including the ability to leverage real-time data dashboards to monitor and modify implementation approaches to ensure the tool usage aligns with dosage requirements." Professional learning is continuous across the pilot, and dashboards support mid-course correction of implementation.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Professional learning sustained throughout the pilot period
• Access to real-time data dashboards for educators

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• Educators using edtech in pilots

Target Learning Goals¶

• Effective tool use aligned with dosage requirements

Affordances¶

• Edtech Procurement Framework Six Steps

Related Strategies¶

• Analyze & Inventory: use cross-departmental data analysis and an inventory of existing interventions before buying new edtech
• Evaluate & Reflect then Sustain & Scale: analyze pilot data against targeted goals and share results with critical partners to plan expanded use
• Discover & Decide: establish evidence-based selection criteria and instructional alignment in an RFP process to select edtech for priority learner populations
• Design & Plan: build a professional learning and measurement plan to monitor implementation fidelity and evaluate impact
• Maintain professional development and educator collaboration throughout an edtech pilot
• Conduct ed-tech pilots by articulating the instructional need, setting clear product-review criteria, involving educators in planning, supporting educators throughout, gathering data from all users, deciding from data, negotiating purchasing options, and sharing results
• School districts adopting AI should follow a five-step roadmap: engage communities, apply and develop policies, provide professional development, create supportive learning environments, and monitor and evaluate AI use
• Strengthen implementation scaffolding for new edtech rollouts with routines, guided practice, and change management grounded in observed workflows
• Provide professional learning opportunities and free tools to support educators in conducting edtech pilot studies
• Board data dashboards for governance-level progress monitoring
