Elevate Equity In Edtech eBook

Discover the connections between technology and equity, and develop a road map for integrating the ISTE Standards into your work to help foster equity in your school community.

School leaders and administrators often view themselves as the instructional leaders of their schools, and for good reason. So much of what happens in a school revolves around leaders guiding educators to provide high-quality, engaging instruction. But due to their multiple responsibilities, some administrators are not fully aware of the technology and tools teachers are using, and could use additional insight into how technology can be used to innovate instruction and foster equity.

This book addresses these issues, with guidance on how to create an equitable technology landscape by implementing the ISTE Standards, which can provide structure for assessing technology use and serve as a gateway to equity for students, teachers, school leaders and more.
