Districts now manage more than 2,700 edtech tools each year, and 80% say they are prioritizing use of generative AI. Yet very few systems have a shared way to decide what any of it should actually accomplish. That's why we built VATL. Get clarity today: leadingeducators.org/vatl

“Oftentimes technology is just designed for educators to use. This is an opportunity for educators to also design their own tools, to interact with technologists, and to think about, ‘What are the problems that we need to solve?’” said Chong-Hao Fu, CEO of Leading Educators.

Today, Leading Educators kicked-off its Bmore100 Literacy Coaching Institute. Our students are in need of SYSTEMIC CHANGE and the ADULTS are preparing to build a system with a shared vision of coaching, defined roles and responsibilities, but even more, on Day 1, we are cultivating a SHARED MINDSET for systemic change. The mindset is simply this…100% teaching & learning! As literacy coaches, we must set the tone that advancing literacy is the SOLE AGENDA. This literacy crisis is solvable and the 100 literacy coaches of Baltimore City Schools understand the assignment! Keep us lifted in your thoughts because in SY24-25 we’re building an army to eradicate illiteracy! #BaltimoreCitySchools #Bmore100 #LeadingEducators
