VisionTo prepare learners to

meet the demands brought on by our rapidly changing

global community.

To meet goal…

teachers need to continually seek out and

embed innovative strategies, emerging

technologies and a variety of information sources

into our learning.

To meet goal..

learners need to be able to independently

learn, unlearn, and relearn in order to be

successful in the future and NOW!!

The key is the total integration

into relevant and meaningful

curricular contexts.

Technology can empower learners to

take command of their learning,

inspire their learning and motivate them to be lifelong learners.
