This document summarizes perspectives from educators on how to improve math education, personalized learning, and the future of learning through technology. Gay recommends helping students explain their math work in different ways rather than just finding the right answer. Meghan dreams of a classroom where students can collaborate, work in small groups, and receive individual attention. Kim is excited by what students can accomplish when given timely data and tools to use that data. Anne believes technology allows for individualized instruction that is engaging and part of students' world.

2. How do we create engaged, confident
students with math skills needed for
success today and in the future?
“Helping students understand
mathematical terms and having them
explain their work in a different way
rather than just looking for a right
answer is helpful. We need to help
teachers do this more effectively.”
Gay, Executive Director at
Krause Center of Innovation

4. What is the promise of a more personalized
learning experience for students?
“Kids being able to collaborate and
work together and being able to work
with small groups or individuals and
the face-to-face learning is my dream
classroom. It makes it so I can
connect individually with students.”
Meghan,
Instructional Coach

6. What does the future of learning look like for students?
“District leadership is helping
teachers get data in a timely fashion
so it’s usable and consistent. You
never know what kids can do and
when you give them all these tools, I
think we’re all going to be amazed by
what they accomplish.”
Kim,
Supervisor of Literacy

8. “Technology gives opportunity for
individualized instruction. It’s highly
motivated and engaging and it’s part of
students' world; that’s what students are
used to and if you can connect and pull
them in, but also provide that
differentiation then it’s essential. What
excites me the most is to see how excited
children are, and differentiation is key. It’s
at their level and it’s what they need on a
daily basis.”
Anne,
Assistant Principal
Have we fully realized the potential of
education technology? Why or why not?

10. Using the future you’ve
imagined, we created a vision for
teaching and learning that we
can all aspire to achieve…
