RUSD wins DILA Award!

       DILA (Digital Innovation in Learning) is organized through a joint effort by EdSurge and Digital Promise to celebrate major accomplishments in edtech. DILA asks applicants to share their stories focusing on how successes are accomplished in one of three categories: educator, administrator, and organization. After a rigorous selection process, winners are announced and their stories are shared with the wider edtech community so that others may get ideas on how to implement these new strategies or implementation plans.      
       Steven Dunlap, Director of Innovation & Learner Engagement, submitted an application highlighting the amazing work that was done in RUSD to put on our August 19th PD Day. The submission won in a tie for the category, Power to the People. The category asked for submissions from those who "Empower teachers, students and other administrators to take on leadership roles and participate actively in system-wide innovation." Highlighting the focus on teacher voice and choice, along with sessions that went beyond the previous norm of "sit and get" resonated with the judges as they made their selection.
