Digital Promise Journey
is a change management blueprint for schools and educators that serves as a guide through the activities necessary for a successful digital transformation implementation. Developed over years of hands-on experience with dozens of K-12 districts, the Journey addresses eight essential stages in three phases (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: The Digital Promise Journey Map
At the core of the Journey are the eight essential questions that guide each stage:
Phase I: Ready
1. Are you ready to commit to digital transformation?
2. Are you ready to manage digital learning environments?
3. Are you ready to launch by putting devices in the hands of your students?
Phase II: Set
4. Do your learners have always-available access to devices and the Internet?
5. Are your learners digitally literate and responsible in their use?
Phase III. Go
6. Are you focused on continuous improvement?
7. Are you engaging in powerful use of technology for learning?
8. Are your learners increasing in confidence and agency?
