In this quarterly briefing, EdWeek Market Brief’s staff writers will give our readers a behind-the-scenes look at their reporting on some of our most popular recent stories, and the implications for education companies and their workforces. Here’s what’s on tap:
- Michelle Caffrey will take our audience inside the multibillion-dollar federal Title II program, looking at what school districts are spending money on now, how that could change in the future, and what vendors need to know about helping school systems that are making use of that funding.
- Emma Kate Fittes will talk about the latest in our series of stories profiling key state markets – her deep look at North Carolina. She’ll explain how thestate’s recent adoption of sweeping new reading policies, and its new interest in changing how math is taught reflects trends playing out nationwide.
- And Alexandria Ng will offer insights about her recent story on how education companies are trying to find workers with experience developing artificial intelligence-focused products. One takeaway: Their needs go far beyond finding engineering talent.
- Discuss the results of a recent survey of district and school leaders and educators.
We’ll also give you a preview of our upcoming coverage. EdWeek Market Brief members are invited to submit questions on any of the above topics in advance, by writing to Emma Kate, Michelle, and Alexandria at efittes@educationweek.org, mcaffrey@edudcationweek.org, and ang@educationweek.org.
