The State of Digital Learning in California Public Schools (Poster 28): Division L - Section 3: Curriculum and Instruction, 8:18 AM

• In Event: e-Lightening Ed-Talk Session 10

Abstract

Previous literature elucidated the consequences of disparate access to physical, human, and social resources necessary for online learning, particularly during the transition to emergency distance learning. In the past two years, K-12 schools rapidly transformed to increase access to digital resources and online learning. In this study, I investigate the landscape of digital learning in California by analyzing the Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAPs) of a sample of 45 economically disparate California school districts. LCAPs provide insight into school districts' priorities, values, and goals. They signal the extent to which these school districts have invested resources, professional development, or funding into the development of their digital learning strategies. I explore California's state of digital resources as conveyed by district LCAPs.
