Move to Digital Curriculum Calls for Teacher Training, New District Roles

By Dian Schaffhauser, THE Journal

Most K-12 teachers involved in the transition to digital curriculum spend between two and five hours a week searching for digital resources for their lessons. Slightly fewer than half use digital content only a quarter to half of their time. And two thirds of schools and districts report that they’ve added new positions to deal with the expansion of the use of digital resources. Those are some of the findings in an extensive survey undertaken recently by the Learning Counsel to understand how schools are transitioning to the use of digital learning materials. The counsel is a for-profit organization that consults with schools — in both K-12 and higher ed — on the use of digital content in education. This is the second year the survey has been compiled. The latest research project was underwritten by Sprint.
