Leading the Manchester School Districts's 21st century classroom initiatives.
We are committed to developing a standards based technology infrastructure that is sustainable, cost effective, and guided by the National Education Technology Plan as well as established National Education Technology Standards (NETS). The mission and goals of our Technology Leadership Framework, are driven by global business market trends, new technology integration, and student-centered learning strategies. This framework also serves as our guiding principals for the execution of the Manchester School District Strategic Technology Plan. We believe that innovation and creativity are best developed within a collaborative, interactive and engaging educational setting.
Providing low cost, energy efficient computing that facilitates mobility and collaboration, combined with high speed internet access is our priority for every school in the district. These are the fundamental building blocks to enabling a diverse globally focused 21st century classroom.
Getting technology in the hands of educators and students is our primary goal. Together with our technology integration team at the Greater Manchester Professional Development (GMPDC) we are fostering technology use by promoting educational tech teams at each school. These teams become the champions of technology, developing innovative ideas and coordinating new technology adoption. Through coordinated effort toward a common vision, enabling teachers and students to reach beyond the walls of the classroom, our children will be better prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century digital citizenship.
