As a new leader, a major challenge has been learning the Verizon Innovative Learning program, how it's implemented and how it correlates with instruction. I've overcome this by meeting with the coach, district leads, the Digital Promise team, and seeing it in action.

Staff and student absences due to COVID have been a challenge throughout the year. Teachers have really come together to support each other to cover classes and keep communication and expectations clear and consistent.

VILS has helped both students and teachers grow and restructured how we teach. It provides equity because every student has access to a device and can participate in tech-integrated instruction, extra-curriculars, and practice at home. The community is supported by having device at home, increasing communication with school and teachers.

Professional development has supported student-led, student-created work. This shows in our Teacher Technology Survey data!
