TEACHING THE FUTURE
Teachers are tasked every day with correcting spelling tests, entering
grades, writing lesson plans, and now with integrating technology
along the way. They would be doing their students a disservice if they
choose to ignore the fact that technology has become woven into our
daily lives, but they are taking cautious steps to ensure that they are
using and teaching technology in a beneficial way. Doing so provides
students with a fundamental approach to utilizing technology to
increase productivity, access resources and to lay the groundwork
for use in their future careers. Teachers continue to learn and grow
through continuing education courses that allow them to integrate new
methods for incorporating technology in the classroom to ultimately
guide our students to a successful future.
Providing students with access to technology in a structured
setting provides them with the freedom to individually learn and
discover solutions to real-world problems and prepare them for the
future. Students have a paved path to achieve success with the help
of cooperative, communal workspaces, online portals that encourage
cross-collaboration, and support from their teachers, peers and parents.
PERSONALIZED LEARNING FOR
HIGH SCHOOL
Personalized learning adapts a structured educational
environment into a malleable approach to learning and
teaching. Each learning style is different, and there is not
one approach to teaching that fits them all. Personalized
learning provides students with attainable success in
the classroom by allowing teachers to understand the strengths and
weaknesses of each individual student and adapt lesson plans to allow
students to work at their own pace.
