Introduction

Planning

NJSD has provided the infrastructure to support a robust plan for technology integration into classroom learning through the 1:1 initiative in grades K-12, supported by the Clarity BrightBytes data. To provide equity across socioeconomic levels, NJSD will provide Kajeet wifi hotspots to the 7% of reported families without access at home. The use of distance learning tools such as GradPoint (™), and the technology to support the GEDO Option 2 (™) program, provide appropriate support for students who require additional support in navigating the variety of student pathways within NJSD.

Implementation

The NJSD three-year implementation plan for instruction, learning and assessment fosters the exploration and growth of the use of technology in assessment analysis, access, personalized learning, collaborative environments, and the creation of instructional teams to foster instructional technology best practices and high quality, student-driven learning experiences.
