SIIA’s Sara Kloek was quoted in EdWeek Market Brief on the impact of dismantling the Department of Education. She noted that the agency’s “convening power” benefits the K-12 sector, offering ed-tech providers key insights on effective strategies. “The agency has been particularly thoughtful about how to implement technology in classrooms and providing best practices without making it a top-down approach,” Kloek said. She also highlighted its role during the pandemic in helping digital providers deliver education effectively. ??
