Insights from an Urban District with Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Ellen Dorr

This week, we meet with Dr. Ellen Dorr, Chief Technology Officer of the Renton School District—a large, urban district in Washington. Ellen has a strong commitment to educational equity, system design, and a deep love for students and their families. We open the conversation with a focus on the successes Renton School District has achieved this year. With a deeper look at what students have accomplished during remote learning, we celebrate the skills we didn't anticipate students learning and their willingness to experiment with us to best meet their needs. We also explore how the technology team brought student voices to the district-wide conversation during the pandemic via empathy interviews. Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.
