Systems Change: What It Takes to Implement Inclusive Ed Tech

Explore research based leadership strategies to drive change that creates coordinated, inclusive effective technology systems. Delve into practical tools and resources developed with partner districts and based on implementation science via the Center on Inclusive Technology & Education Systems (CITES). The CITES Framework supports district leaders in creating and sustaining an ecosystem, where assistive technology (AT), educational technology (EdTech), and informational technology (IT) work collaboratively to develop and sustain inclusive practices. CITES leverages Active Implementation Frameworks (AIF) to align with sustained and scalable systems change tools to ensure alignment with state-adopted frameworks, such as Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), and state accountability systems. Leadership tips and tools will be shared so that district and school leaders can turnkey and implement them immediately. The leadership self-assessment and professional learning kits will give participants a chance to reflect and consider resources to drive change.
