Classroom innovation is here and starts with you.

Schools are asking harder questions now. “Should we ban phones?” “How do we balance screen time?” “What does EdTech equity actually look like?”

These aren’t tech adoption questions—they’re impact questions. Teachers, leaders, and administrators need a space to grapple with these tensions together, not separately. Forward is that space.

We’re not abandoning 40 years of CUE. We’re honoring it by evolving. Spring CUE served its time brilliantly—it positioned technology as the central conversation. Now, that conversation has matured. Technology is important, but it’s a means, not an end. Forward signals that we’re moving toward something bigger: systemic change, educator agency, and equitable innovation. Read more about why this change is right for this moment here.
