Roxbury 1-to-1 Program

In order for the Roxbury Township Public Schools to prepare our students of today for tomorrow, we need to provide them with an engaging, personalized curriculum that will inspire and empower them to flourish as ethical and global citizens in the 21st century.

All students have unique needs, abilities and interests and educational technology enables students to experience a more personalized curriculum to gain the 21st century skills necessary to be successful in college and career. Our commitment to creating digital learning environments has been evident through our 1-to-1 technology initiative.

The goals of the 1-to-1 initiative have been to:

Increase student engagement with the curriculum
Personalize instruction to meet student's needs, abilities and interests
Foster the growth of the 4 C's - Collaboration, Communication, Critical-Thinking, and Creativity

Keeping these goals in mind as we progress through our planning and implementation of this 1-to-1 technology initiative, has resulted in a transformation in our learning environments that has accelerated student learning.

WHY 1-to-1?

Some of the many reasons to pursue this initiative include:
