The CoSN Community Leadership Award for Digital Equity recognizes a district that is working to address digital equity, reduce the homework gap, and ensure all students have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
“PWCS' commitment to bridging the digital divide is unwavering and receiving the Community Leadership for Digital Equity Award recognizes the collaborative efforts of our division and schools,” he said Matt Guilfoyle, Chief Information Officer, PWCS. “We believe that equitable access to technology is essential and it is our responsibility to empower our students to be digital citizens who use information technology to improve themselves and the world around them.”
PWCS uses and supports technology in innovative ways. Most importantly, each school has an educational technology trainer who offers professional development and assistance to teachers, supporting a culture of innovation. The rich data culture has positively affected attendance, student support, and graduation rates.
