"Beyond Traditional Textbooks"
At the March 12, 2012 school board meeting, the St. Louis County School District approved a three-year plan which will change the way teachers deliver instruction by going beyond the traditional textbooks. This dynamic method of teaching will promote Standards-Based Instruction at the secondary level using technology to access the most recent and dynamic learning materials.
The push for creating a digital learning environment started this year with the integration of iPads and Netbook carts at each school. All teachers were trained in technology integration and best practices. Although, this year may have been a learning year, the benefits of utilizing technology in our classrooms was obvious.
Now, with the approval of this three year plan the district will move from using technology as supplemental and enrichment tools, to learning and instructional tools. Beginning the 2012-2013 school year, all 7 & 8 grade students will participate in a 1:1 digital learning environment incorporating iPads into daily instruction and learning. The district has plans to train and work with 7 & 8th grade teachers this spring and summer as we continue to transform how we deliver education in ISD 2142. By the year 2014-2015, it is our plan to have full integration of a 1:1 digital learning device in grades 7-12.
We are proud and excited to further this endeavor and look forward to seeing the benefits it brings our students.
