The Learning Experience, S5 E1: Breaking Barriers with CITES: Designing Tech Systems for All

Mia Laudato headshot

What exactly is the CITES Framework? It is certainly not another initiative!

In this episode, we dive into the Center on Inclusive Technology & Education Systems (CITES) and explore how it stands apart from but aligned with other frameworks. Our guest, Mia Laudato, shares why building an inclusive technology ecosystem is essential for schools, how districts can take their first steps toward creating one, and where AI fits into the bigger picture. Spoiler alert: it’s not all about high-tech tools — it’s about designing systems that remove barriers and create access for every learner.
