Leveraging E-rate to transform learning

K-12 leaders have an opportunity to leverage the edtech investments they made in the shift to remote and hybrid instruction and build on teachers' new skills to lead digital transformation in their schools.

That's important, because digital learning allows for more personalized, engaging and student-centered instruction. It empowers students to take control of their education, leading to more active learning strategies and a deeper understanding of content. To build on this promise, schools need scalable, reliable and secure networks. The federal E-Rate program can help obtain this necessary technology; however, the application process can be challenging to navigate.

This guide offers a roadmap to help K-12 leaders successfully leverage E-Rate funding to expand digital learning opportunities for their students. It provides an overview of the program, insights on the application process and tips to help districts secure the discounts they're entitled to.
