What is Project shiftED?

Provided by the Santa Cruz County Office of Education with support from the California Department of Education and California Department of Education Foundation. 

The COVID-19 pandemic caused several shifts in education.  Project shiftED aims to set a rigorous baseline of tech proficiency in California’s schools by transforming site teams into ambassadors of digital literacy and technology integration across the state.  Through research-based approaches to professional learning, site teams in shiftED will develop a roadmap to use at their schools/districts to train additional educators in the use of technology as a lever to construct learning environments that are active, collaborative, constructive, authentic and goal-directed. 


Site teams from diverse areas will meet regularly through a Community of Practice (COP) to align resources, provide professional learning and to identify common challenges. The culmination of shiftED will include an exhibition of all participants presenting to educators in a statewide forum. shiftED will be led by the Educational Leaders from the Tech+ Division at the Santa Cruz County Office of Education.
