Discussing the Early Career K-12 CTO Academy - S2E4

In this episode, Jeremy Wickham, Director of Technology for North Shore School District 112 in Highland Park, Illinois, joins us to discuss his experience with the Early Career K-12 CTO Academy. Jeremy was a graduate of the 2020-21 Academy cohort. The Academy is designed to address the needs of education technology leaders with fewer than four years of experience. Participants learn skills such as creating a culture of innovation in their district, building diverse teams that include underrepresented populations in the edtech industry, supporting student-centered learning and technology budgeting, and more. The Academy is generously supported by CoSN’s Gold Partner, HP. Wickham describes his experience in the program, including the benefits of being paired with a veteran mentor, the connection and collaboration among cohort members, his Capstone project, and why he’d recommend the program to others in his position.
