creativity + student voice & choice + anytime anywhere learning
Vision Statement
Provide all learners across the district a 1:1 tool to increase engagement, promote student voice and choice, and ignite creativity in school, at home, and beyond.
After feedback from key stakeholders, a review of other 1:1 learning programs, and research on best practices, this vision statement was developed. Some of the resources reviewed include :
International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE ) standards

Alignment with Strategic Plan
The 62 Ignite Innovation initiative directly aligns with many values, goals, and strategies of the District 62 Strategic Plan.
Student voice and student engagement are two areas of focus for this initiative. A strategic plan subcommittee will also begin work during the 2019-2020 school year to develop some goals and outcomes on these concepts as well.
Strategic Plan
Goal Two: Provide personal support to each student to develop the skills and confidence to be self-sufficient learners.
Strategy One: Increase opportunities for student voice, engagement and responsibility in being an active participant in their learning.
Definitions of student voice, strategies for implementation, and tools for measurement will be shared between the 62 Ignite Innovation Team and the strategic plan subcommittee.
