Forty-to-One to One-to-One:  \nEliminating the Digital Divide and Making Equity Actionable  \nRosanna Mucetti, Ed.D.  \nSan Leandro Unified School District & California State University, East Bay  \nAbstract  \nThis article shows how the adoption of technology may serve as a catalyst for deeper, systemic reforms. This article shares a local case of organizational learning in which a midsize California urban school district faithfully acted on a technology goal nested in its strategic plan. Through this experience, the school district demonstrated various organizational behaviors worth considering when implementing a large-scale technology initiative. First, the San Leandro Unified School District (SLUSD) provides evidence of an organization adopting technology and eliminating the digital divide to make the concept of equity actionable for students, families, and staff. Second, this case portrays how the structural, tangible changes brought forth through technology adoption in an entire school district can serve as a foundation for more complex reforms. Third, SLUSD’s story exemplifies how sustaining technology success can be attained through an intentional collaborative partnership at the local level.  \nThe Case  \nTransforming a K-12 school system into an equitable institution presents one of the most vexing challenges to educational leaders. The list of issues to address and of the organizational components to engage may run endlessly. This article only narrates the journey of a local school system in the Bay Area, serving nearly 9,000 students and addressing organizational change focused on technology.  \nIt is a story that began in the fall of 2013. That year, the San Leandro Unified School District found itself in a position similar to that of many midsize urban school districts in the state of California—in urgent need of key systemic improvements while simultaneously embracing some of the most dramatic national and state reform efforts. These mandated reforms included the adoption of the Common Core State Standards, new online state assessments, and the implementation of the Local Control Funding Formula. In 2013, the SLUSD demonstrated limited professional development for both teachers and administrators, a student-to-computer ratio of 40 to one, a generally poor technology infrastructure, and a failed attempt by the district’s central administration to build a collaborative relationship with the teachers’union. In addition, as is the case of many urban school districts serving diverse, socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, the school district faced limited funding, despite slight increases in California state revenues.  \nIn order to launch the needed systemic improvements, the school board worked closely with senior central office leaders to develop a strategic plan focused on five goals to be accomplished within a 3-year cycle. Unlike many strategic plans that last anywhere from five to 10 years, the plan developed by the board and district leadership team worked from the tenet that a shorter cycle with actionable, attainable goals would help improve district culture, elevate morale, and yield better outcomes for students. Essentially, we wanted for the SLUSD to experience a sense of success quickly and from there to move forward through deeper, sustainable phases within a continuous improvement cycle.  \nTechnology as a Strategic Goal  \nIn order to gain momentum through visible and tangible changes, while at the same time striving to close the students’opportunity gap, one key goal of the five set forth by the strategic plan consisted of an intentional yet broad goal of overhauling the district’s technology landscape. Unlike other systemic reform efforts, technological development delivers more concrete, observable results. In other words, our central assumption was that eliminating the digital divide could provide tangible evidence of what equity looks and feels like in action, beyond empty words.  \nWith this p","cbCaiilmeaxmBF05","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiilmeaxmBF05","pdf",199835,"English","# Abstract\n# The Case\n# Technology as a Strategic Goal\n# The Funding Challenge","[{\"question\":\"How does the article argue that technology adoption supports systemic reform?\",\"answer\":\"It presents technology adoption as a catalyst for deeper, systemic reforms by enabling tangible changes that demonstrate what equity looks like in practice.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenge did the San Leandro Unified School District face when starting in 2013?\",\"answer\":\"It had limited professional development, a 40-to-one student-to-computer ratio, weak technology infrastructure, and an unsuccessful effort to build collaboration between central administration and the teachers’ union.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the district plan to sustain technology success over time?\",\"answer\":\"The article emphasizes that sustained success is attained through an intentional collaborative partnership at the local level, supporting broader and more complex improvements needed for equity.\"}]","From Forty-to-One to One-to-One - Eliminating the Digital Divide and Making Equity Actionable | PDF",1792094872,23]
