PowerSchool examines national survey results
from K-12 educators in this year’s Education Focus Report to unpack
the present and future of AI, personalized learning, and usable
data.
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based
software for K-12 education in North America, has released its key
findings from the 2023 Education Focus Report for the 2023-24
school year. The report delivers findings from a national survey of
K-12 educators in all 50 states at the school and district levels,
as well as in-depth conversations with over 70 academic,
technology, data, and talent leaders.
“We are excited to share valuable insights in this report,
elevating classroom, school, and district leaders’ voices,” said
Ryan Imbriale, former district leader, and Vice President of
Education Solutions at PowerSchool. “The future of education starts
with listening to educators today. Reflecting on our findings, K-12
education is in a time of tension, caught between the urgent, the
important, and the possible.”
Recognizing the current dynamics in education, the 2023
Education Focus Report focuses on four key areas: transforming the
student learning experience; supporting educators and instruction;
solving for the future with usable data; and partnering with
parents and caretakers in student learning. Among the report’s
topline findings, there is a collective sense among educators that
personalized learning, actionable data, and artificial intelligence
(AI) hold promise to shape the future trajectory of education.
“As educators navigate a quickly shifting technology landscape
and workforce challenges – as well as the urgent need to improve
student learning and wellness in the aftermath of the pandemic – we
believe that sharing top challenges and priorities can benefit not
only fellow education leaders, but partners in the edtech space to
better support schools and ultimately students,” Ryan added. “We’re
looking forward to continuing the conversation throughout the
2023-24 school year.”
The report reveals that a majority of educators believe
technology helps personalize student learning so they can focus on
individual needs and meet learning goals. However, when it comes to
artificial intelligence (such as generative AI), there are varied
perspectives between district leaders and school-level educators on
the potential of AI to enhance teaching and learning. The report
showcases current thinking about future use cases of AI, and how
teachers and students can benefit.
Key findings include identifying the top priorities for the
upcoming school year as providing teachers with actionable data and
connecting data across systems. With evolving multi-tiered systems
of supports (MTSS) and similar practices, educators often don’t
have usable data to understand which tiered interventions are
working.
The 2023 Education Focus Report was shaped in partnership with
15 education leaders – representing technology, teaching and
learning, data, talent, and more – who comprise PowerSchool’s
Education Insights Advisors Group. The report also includes
PowerSchool’s top commitments and actions to help make education
technology more personalized, simple, easy, and secure.
“With how consistent and available surface level data is (like
attendance and grades), it leads many of us to say, ‘yes we have
usable data.’ But when we ask ‘why?’ about a dataset, we often find
the data doesn’t exist to answer that question, or we have it for
some students but not others,” said Chris Cromwell, Instructional
Technology Coordinator for West Chester Area Public Schools in
Pennsylvania and a member of the PowerSchool Education Insights
Advisors Group. “We have a long way to go to address gaps in data
and understand connection between inputs and outcomes.”
Additionally, educators see and appreciate the value that tech
tools and innovation bring to their classrooms but the practice of
rapidly adopting tech tools without fully training those who need
to use them can leave educators feeling overwhelmed. The abundance
of tech tools affects parents too, with the use of multiple
platforms often resulting in a deluge of information for parents,
which causes them to feel frustrated and overwhelmed, or even shut
off the school "information spigot" entirely.
