The goal of Spring-Ford Learning is to maximize learning and increase differentiation through the use of technology. This goal is achieved by:
- Providing professional learning and coaching for teachers so integration of technology is seamless and driven by curriculum and assessment.
- Increasing teacher access to and use of technology as best instructional practice and to utilize data to inform instruction.
- Increasing student access to and use of technology to deepen knowledge, understanding, and 21st Century Skills to allow for seamless transition to college and career. Our students are future ready.
- Teachers use technology as a seamless part of solid instructional practice, engaging students and meeting their individual needs.
- Students embracing technology integration as easily in the classroom as they do outside of it, with increased engagement in learning, knowledge, and 21st century skills.
In order to ensure ALL K-12 students are involved in “Spring-Ford” learning, we have created a plan to increase student and teacher access to technology along with Technology training.
- Classroom carts will be placed in each classroom in the elementary schools
- K-4th- Chromebooks (remain in the classroom)
- 5th - 12th - Fully Spring-Ford Learning (assigned to students to use at home and in school)
