What is the State of Digital Learning Survey

Administrators

Why Did We Do the Survey?
• To further our passion with education and Ed Tech’s role within it
• To highlight reality vs “assumed reality”
• To provide you a foundation for future initiatives

6. #learnwithschoology
How Did We Do the Survey?
• Designed and implemented by a team of former educators, former
administrators, and content specialists
• Promoted it via email, blog posts, social promotions, and word of mouth
• Logic was used in our surveying to only ask questions that were relevant
to each individual respondent

84% Agree PLCs and
PLNs are Effective for PD

25. #learnwithschoology
What Types of PD are Offered Most?
What This May Suggest

noted earlier for students are
not being used for adults or staff

resource provided by administrators to their teachers but providing
effective PD is still the top admin challenge of 2019
• PD is not job embedding
• Most effective instructional practices for students (mentioned
earlier) are not being leveraged for PD (ex. Blended Learning)
