Abstract

This chapter summarizes a case study of the Harborwoods Central School District's successful implementation of a knowledge management system to improve social emotional learning for students and teachers. The case study highlights the challenges faced by K12 education in the realm of EdTech, including high costs, wasted instructional time, and tools that do not align with district goals. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in the adoption of EdTech solutions without proper professional development. The case study explores how Harborwoods transformed resistant teachers into tech-savvy experts and how they supported their school community through social emotional learning, AI, and collaboration. The analysis identifies an autonomous approach, adopting AI and technology tools, structured project management, and continuous collaboration and innovation as the main drivers behind Harborwoods' success. The findings can help school leaders to develop effective strategies for improving EdTech usage, saving time and money for school systems, and enhancing learning outcomes.
