Pitching Recommendations: Aligning With Conlan’s Coverage Priorities

Focus on Measurable Outcomes in EdTech Implementation

Conlan prioritizes stories with quantifiable impact metrics. Successful pitches demonstrate how specific technologies improve standardized test scores (minimum 12-month data) or reduce administrative workloads. Her analysis of LMS platforms in Arizona schools exemplifies this preference for data-driven narratives.

Highlight Cross-Sector Partnerships

Stories exploring collaborations between school districts and local governments/tech companies resonate strongly. The Massachusetts IT apprenticeship program coverage shows her interest in sustainable talent pipelines.

Address Equity in Technology Access

Conlan seeks stories about closing the digital divide through innovative funding models or community partnerships. Pitches should include demographic data and long-term sustainability plans.

Explore Emerging Technologies in Special Education

While she covers mainstream edtech extensively, Conlan shows growing interest in assistive technologies. Successful pitches here require input from special educators and students.

Avoid Generic Product Launches

Conlan rarely covers standalone product announcements unless they’re tied to substantive pedagogical research or multi-district implementation studies.

Awards and Recognition
