For too long, K-12 technology leadership has been defined by siloed approaches — prioritizing tools over the systems they operate within. This fragmented focus has hindered innovation and equity, leaving many leaders struggling to make meaningful, lasting changes. It’s a challenge reflected in CoSN’s 2024 State of EdTech District Leadership Report, where 77% of edtech […]
Discussions about artificial intelligence (AI) in education often fall into two extremes. On one side, AI is celebrated as the answer to every challenge educators face. On the other, it is viewed with suspicion as a disruptive force that must be avoided. This all-or-nothing framing misses the nuance of AI’s potential to enhance learning when […]
Education leaders across the country are exploring how to harness artificial intelligence (AI)’s power to redefine what’s possible for school systems. To advance this work, Google for Education and GSV Ventures selected 24 top leaders from K-12 systems nationwide to participate in the 2023-24 Google GSV Education Innovation Fellowship. The Learning Accelerator (TLA) had the […]
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is generating powerful new applications permeating countless sectors and industries. Yet, while AI has massive potential to impact education, translating AI’s promise into instructional practices remains an ambiguous, complex challenge. To address this, Leading Educators and The Learning Accelerator have launched the School Teams AI Collaborative, bringing together […]
The emergence of generative AI has ignited both excitement and concern in K-12 education. Some educators see AI as a powerful tool to tackle longstanding challenges, while others are wary, mindful of past edtech initiatives that delivered uneven outcomes. However, this dichotomy isn’t just playing out at the level of individual educators. The entire sector […]
As the school year begins, edtech leaders have a vital opportunity to reflect on their practices, identify areas for improvement, and set goals aligned with broader school and district priorities. Through intentional approaches, these efforts can transform edtech systems into powerful tools that promote equity, center student success, and adapt to evolving technological demands — […]

At The Learning Accelerator (TLA), we believe that the future of learning should be student centered. From our work with hybrid and virtual learning programs, we’ve seen how combining virtual learning with in-person learning – what many refer to as “hybrid learning” – is a particularly powerful catalyst to unlock this potential. Leveraging both virtual […]
