COLUMBIA, SC – Richland Two Superintendent Debbie Hamm will join a select group of national education leaders to share ideas and develop action plans for using technology to support teaching and learning.
From April 19-21, Hamm will participate in the Digital Promise League of Innovative Schools meeting in Vancouver, Wash. The meeting is co-hosted by Vancouver Public Schools, a national leader in digital learning.
At the meeting, Hamm will participate in school visits, collaborative workshops, and a film festival showcasing the innovative work of students and educators within the League. The meeting will focus on how districts can tell their own story of innovation and engage their communities.
The League of Innovative Schools is a national coalition of 57 school districts that collectively represent more than three million students. The League fosters collaboration between education leaders and entrepreneurs, researchers, and thought leaders. The goal of each meeting is to address members’ shared priorities and set goals that district leaders will pursue throughout the year.
Richland Two was accepted into the League based on its leadership, evidence of results, innovative vision for learning, and dedication to collaboration. Upon joining, members commit to share lessons learned, participate in national and regional forums, and partner with research institutions, technology developers, and each other to deliver better results for students.
“Our League meetings offer district leaders a place to discuss their challenges, share successful strategies, and solve problems together,” said Sara Schapiro, director of the Digital Promise League of Innovative Schools. “By bringing these districts’ stories and perspectives together, we hope all of our League members come away with new ideas and practices for their communities.”
