New Webinar Series: Advancing Digital Equity - NTIA Digital Equity Grant Program

New Webinar Series: Advancing Digital Equity - NTIA Digital Equity Grant Program

Webinar 1: February 29, 2024 |11 a.m. – Noon Eastern Time

Webinar 2: April 17, 2024 | 2 – 3 p.m. Eastern Time

 

In 2024, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) will announce new programs to help eligible entities pursue activities to advance digital equity in their communities. Therefore, several organizations – the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology, the Council of Chief State School Officers, the American Library Association, and Common Sense Media – are collaborating to help prepare the education and library sectors, and community-based organizations for this unique opportunity.

 

This upcoming webinar and workshop series invites leaders at the state, local, and institution levels to build their awareness of the relevant policy context and learn why this issue is important to their stakeholders. To further support leaders in seeing themselves as a critical component of this national focus on digital equity, the 2-part webinar series will feature experts to showcase diverse “possibility models” of successful and replicable strategies from around the country. Finally, the webinar series will prepare participants for a digital equity workshop to be held during the spring CCSSO Collaboratives: Education Information Management Advisory Collaborative (EIMAC) meeting in May, where you will have an opportunity to develop/refine ideas, learn from peers, and develop critical relationships with other leaders in your states/regions.
