Many school district officials have said they’re wary of receiving over-the-top sales pitches as they scramble to keep up with their many obligations during COVID-19. At the same time, EdWeek Market Brief’s research shows that many school officials are proactively reaching out to companies in search of products that will help them navigate remote, hybrid, and in-person learning. In this environment, what does an effective sales pitch look like—and what are the kinds of messages and outreach that companies should avoid? In this webinar, attendees will come away with the following:

• Insights on what districts want from their FIRST meeting with a company during COVID, drawing from EdWeek Market Brief surveys of K-12 officials;
• Intel on how districts pare down the list of companies they’re considering hiring
• Data on what kinds of companies districts are turning to for the first time during the pandemic;
• Information on how much time districts spend researching new education companies;
• District perspective on the messages K-12 officials respond to, and what they reject
• And more…

Our guests will also take questions from our audience. We’re looking forward to the conversation. Image Credit: Getty

In this webinar, EdWeek Market Brief’s editorial team will present new data and analysis from school districts on what parents – in their new roles as at-home instructors – need from companies in the COVID-19 era. We’ll draw from original surveys of district officials in which they were asked about their interactions with families, and the kinds of support and academic resources parents desperately need now. We’ll also break down EdWeek Market Brief’s recent reporting and research on where schools are on the path to reopening, and what kinds of help districts say they need in specific area, as they cautiously set plans to bring teachers and students back. EdWeek Market Brief’s editorial team will specifically present survey data on the following topics:

1. What product features and support do parents – who teachers need to engage in students’ learning – need from companies?
2. Updated survey results on districts’ biggest purchasing priorities for the remainder of this school year – and next.
3. Districts’ biggest purchasing needs in curriculum, as they plan for school reopenings; and
4. A look at district officials’ early thinking about how they might attempt to create learning environments for reopened schools.

This webinar is the fifth in EdWeek Market Brief’s COVID-19 briefing series. Our editorial team will take your questions about our research and our reporting on where things stand and states and districts, and where things are headed for K-12 systems and the companies tasked with meeting their most pressing needs.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced a sudden retreat from districts being willing and able to meet with companies in-person – for professional development sessions, on-site school visits, pilots of products, and face-to-face conferences. How close are school districts to returning to pre-pandemic norms? In this webinar, EdWeek Market Brief will break down recent survey data collected from K-12 officials about their appetite for meeting with companies, now, at the start of this school year, and a year from now. Join us to learn about the following:

• Which types of in-person meetings are moving forward, and which ones are still a no-go;
• How differences in district policy vary by size of the school district, region of the country, and other factors;
• Data on how companies’ plans to send staff to in-person events compares with district plan;
• Insights on EdWeek Market Brief’s reporting and data about the instructional model (fully in-person, vs. hybrid) that districts intend to follow in the fall, and how that could impact company practices.
