Real Talk: Superintendents on Screens, Bans, and What Works
The debate over screens in schools has collapsed into ban versus no ban, and that framing throws out the real value of these tools along with their misuse. The questions that actually matter are quality, balance, and strategic use. Those are instructional questions, and they belong to the people who run schools and classrooms.
Join Dr. Janice K. Jackson for a candid conversation with district leaders who have sat in the seat and made these calls.
The session includes:
- Sonja Santelises, former Superintendent of Boston Public Schools
- Chad Gestson, former Superintendent of Phoenix Union High School District
- Jeremy S. Owoh, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools, Jacksonville North Pulaski School District
- Richard Culatta, CEO of ISTE+ASCD
They will not all agree. That is the point. A short opening segment grounds the room in what the research actually says, then the panel gets to work on the decisions every district faces this fall.
This session is for education leaders, funders, educators, and engaged parents. Bring the question you want asked. There is a place for it on the form.
