WIDEN the Path: Empowering Women Leaders in K-12 Educational Data and Technology

Women manage massive digital ecosystems in K-12 education, yet they remain underrepresented in edtech and data leadership. This poster presentation, based on 1EdTech's WIDEN (Women in Data in EdTech Network) initiative, goes beyond passive listening to equip current and aspiring women leaders with concrete strategies to shape the future of the industry. Explore how the WIDEN network lifts women in edtech as both mentors and mentees, and consider opportunities to step into leadership. Discover structured mentorship frameworks that can easily scale within any district or organization, and learn about structures that support potential women leaders. This is about more than building a network: it focuses on actionable ways to expand your influence in technical roles and foster community engagement. You will leave recognizing the impact that leadership development opportunities can have, familiar with how WIDEN can support you and connected with others in leadership positions to grow your professional network.
