Clint Carlson

My 20 years as a leader in education technology and holistic communication management with a focus on capacity building is rooted in a passion for learning, teaching, and enabling others. My enthusiasm is deeply rooted in a belief that education is the source of improving humanity. My role in Educational Technology fosters learning cultures with self-efficacy, community & collaboration which elevate the learning of entire generations.

I blend my leadership vision with design technology toward fostering education communities where teachers are partners with their students in learning endeavors, and students are taught not only technological skills, but also transferring those progressive qualities into critical thinking, world empathy, communication, and sustainable use of technology required in our current world.

In my current role as Assistant Director of Technology, I manage our full Systems & Support, PowerSchool team, network, data integrity, and websites for all teachers and student. I administer our Virtual School compliance with the U.S. State Department, developed and run our MakerSpace Raspberry Pi Club, am on call as a campus emergency first responder and advise our Animal Shelter Club which provides outreach between students and a local shelter in Delhi.

My diverse portfolio of experience (designer, developer, project manager, trainer, strategist, and leader) in many industries (education, private, corporate, NGO, United Nations). This has provided me a wide “from the ground up” intuition to support teachers, administrators, team members, and students in ways rarely found in education technology. I’m often involved in projects that don’t directly impact my team as I bring in fresh ideas and brainstorming for short and long term scenarios.

While certainly technical, my style is also a departure from the common path of treating technology as “computer problems”. My focus on the power of technical education capacity-building reflects back on students exponentially and is amplified by my digital humanitarianism – helping those who help others to provide exponential, lasting good.
