Research: 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. According to the “Learning Counsel Survey Report on Digital Curriculum Transition Strategy for 2015,” a third of educators spend under an hour each week doing searches for digital lesson planning; 9 percent spend six or more hours; and 58 percent spend between two and five hours. While 48 percent of respondents to the survey reported spending 25 to 50 percent of their time using digital content predominantly, 27 percent said they use it less than that and 24 percent said they use it more often.
