Educational Technology
Our Mission
To support teachers in independent use of purposeful technology to impact our students' skillset. By supporting our teachers in the use of technology to enhance learning we expect our students to increase their capacity in the 4 Cs of Digital Learning; Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Creativity. When students are effective in their ability to employ the 4 Cs, they will have the skills necessary to find and process the information they need, solve problems by thinking critically and creatively, and communicate to diverse audiences.
Our Vision
In a time characterized by relentless change and unprecedented availability of facts and data, technology lies at the heart of information literacy. In order for our students to successfully navigate the world around them, both now and in the future, we must equip them with relevant knowledge and skills to spark innovation and ignite creative problem solving. These tools will empower our learners to change the world around them.
Our Role
To help support the district teaching & learning philosophy of empowering our students to control their future by educating the whole child; ensuring a professional culture; fostering a student-centered learning environment; implementing a rigorous and relevant curriculum; and leveraging communication throughout our school community. This is achieved by providing professional development, coaching, co-teaching opportunities, and easily accessible resources to teachers throughout the district.
