Description:

Traditional education systems aren’t designed for the diversity of America’s learners, and EdTech is no exception. This discussion will offer attendees a new paradigm for balancing learner and financial impact, offering tangible examples from leading EdTech companies of how identifying equity blind spots has allowed them to be better and more desirable partners to higher education institutions.
