In order to prepare Houston’s students for a world beyond the four walls of a classroom, HISD has launched PowerUp, a districtwide initiative aimed at transforming teaching and learning. PowerUp is about “powering up” all 282 of our schools to create a personalized learning environment for today’s 21st-century learners and to enable teachers to more effectively facilitate instruction, manage curriculum, collaborate with their peers, and engage today’s digitally wired students.
Cullen Middle School is a HISD Power Up 1:1 campus that provides access to Chromebooks for on and off campus use in addition to desktop computers and other technology equipment. In order for students to use HISD devices and accounts (both on and off campus), we require all students to comply with our technology policies.
Students and staff must have equitable access to the latest technology, tools, infrastructure, and cyber safety guidelines to support digital-age instruction, collaboration, and the development of 21st-century skills.
The one-size-fits-all classroom approach no longer prepares students for success. Colleges and employers now want innovative, creative thinkers who can solve problems and apply their knowledge to new challenges. Check out how our Cullen professors are working to personalize learning for each child’s unique needs, abilities, and preferences.
