Evaluating Impact at Scale Through Equity, Evidence, and Ecosystem

T408 exposes the complexities of innovating for impact in education and how a more collaborative and inclusive approach can yield more equitable interventions and results. In this course, educational impact innovation refers to the development and implementation of novel approaches, strategies, and technologies aimed at addressing educational challenges while actively promoting equity. Through a series of panel conversations with leaders in education impact innovation, often through technology, students will explore the tangible and real-world challenges that organizations confront as they attempt to disrupt inequities in education. Applying the lenses of equity, evidence, and ecosystem, students will learn to view and evaluate the potential of funders and organizations to drive and sustain learning impact at scale.  By the end of the course, students will have a better sense of where, in the larger ecosystem, to focus their individual future contributions to activate impact.
This course fulfills the Equity & Opportunity elective requirement for Ed.M. students. This course is co-designed and -led by industry veteran Juliette Adams.
