Curtis Carmichael Information

Curtis Carmichael helps school boards, ministries of education, and state departments of education determine which technologies and programs are safe and whether they actually improve outcomes for staff, students, and families. His approach puts people at the center of cybersecurity, third-party risk management, and impact measurement: public education leaders across ICT, business, and instruction work from one shared evidence base, and the question is never just "was it secure at a point in time?" but "is it safe and helping, 24/7, year-round?" Curtis draws on a decade of experience as a K-12 educator and advisor to school boards and departments of education in Canada and the United States, along with his research as a doctoral student in the field. As education systems adopt thousands of digital tools, more data sits with third-party vendors, while oversight still relies on point-in-time compliance and cyber threats run 24/7 with AI. Curtis shows leaders how to make that shift, from periodic checks to continuous monitoring, protecting data and ensuring public funding ROI while every EdTech tool and program stays safe and keeps improving outcomes.
