SXSW EDU 2025
Leading School Systems with Evidence & Innovation
Description:
To keep pace with rapidly-changing technology and accelerate student learning, school systems must embrace evidence-driven solutions tailored to unique community needs. With most education funding sourced at the state and local levels, enhancing the systems, talent, and resources capable of fueling state and local research and innovation is crucial. This session brings together school district leadership and education champions to explore the real-world practice of evidence-based decision-making to make continuous improvements, promote innovation, and move the needle on student outcomes.
