Abstract	The K-8 Cajon Valley Union School District (Cajon Valley USD) is one of forty-two school districts in the greater San Diego, California metropolitan area. Serving approximately 16,000 students, the Cajon Valley USD is extremely diverse; 36 percent of students are Hispanic, 46 percent are white, 7 percent are African American, and many students are recent immigrants from countries including Malaysia, Syria, Iran, and others. Just a few years ago, the Cajon Valley Union School District (Cajon Valley USD) was challenged by ethnic differences, poverty, inequity between schools, and low achievement. Today, academic achievement is on the rise, students are leaders of learning, and the district has received multiple awards and recognition for its efforts. This video profile examines how this small urban school district and one of its middle schools have made dramatic strides through the effective implementation of digital learning paired with other major types of support for students and teachers. This interactive video profile is the second in a series of real-life practical stories about how district and school leaders are improving student learning outcomes through the effective use of digital learning. Much more than "online learning," digital learning is defined as "any instructional practice that effectively uses technology to strengthen a student's learning experience," and encompasses a wide spectrum of tools and practices. Critical elements include an emphasis on high-quality instruction and access to challenging content, feedback through formative assessment, opportunities for learning anytime and anywhere, and individualized instruction to ensure that all students reach their full potential to succeed in college and a career. It is important to note that the strategies will look different in each district setting, and that they are constantly evolving.
