Back-to-school season is here! Whether you’re stocking up on school supplies, getting ready to meet new peers, or revisiting strategic plans, this is a busy and exciting time of year. At Digital Promise, we’re kicking off the 2023-2024 school year by taking a look at some amazing initiatives across the organization that fall across research, practice, and technology.

“I'm excited about Digital Promise's continued research on artificial intelligence (AI) in education and its potential to change teaching and learning. I appreciate how the team is thinking deeply about the need to mitigate bias in AI design, and creating resources to support educators and product developers using AI.”
“I'm very excited about welcoming our 10th Verizon Innovative Learning Schools cohort and celebrating 10 years of Verizon Innovative Learning. We're continuing our pursuit of digital equity by adding 32 new schools across 11 new districts to our community.”
“Our Micro-credential Platform was recently recognized at the 1EdTech Learning Impact Conference 2023 as a finalist for the Learning Impact Awards. As a competency-based innovation, our submission on Transforming Educator Development with the Digital Promise Micro-credential Platform highlighted our impact through educator micro-credentials, which you can explore on our platform.”
“In a recent collaboration with Donors Choose, the Learner Variability Project at Digital Promise shared our Guide to Teaching Students about Learner Variability. This ‘Student Activity Guide’ includes language, tools, and lesson plans created by teachers to help students understand themselves as learners and dispel the myth of an average learner! As a result of using the guide, 97 percent of the teachers who participated in the study noticed some change in their students after they learned about learner variability, and 85 percent of teachers said they plan to change instruction to address learner variability. ”

This is only a snapshot of the exciting initiatives Digital Promise is focusing on in the upcoming school year.
