The Instructional Technology department is dedicated to transforming the learning environment by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technology into the curriculum. Our goal is to create innovative and engaging educational experiences that captivate students and empower educators. We believe that technology isn't just a tool, but a catalyst for deeper understanding and more effective teaching. From implementing 1:1 Chromebooks for every student to leveraging the collaborative power of Google Workspace for Education, we're constantly exploring and adopting resources that foster active learning and prepare students for a digitally-driven world.

Beyond student-facing initiatives, a core component of our mission is providing robust Professional Development for teachers, administrators, and staff. We understand that effective technology integration hinges on confident and skilled educators. Our training programs are meticulously aligned with leading educational standards, including the ISTE Standards for Educational Technology and the new Computer Science and Digital Fluency Learning Standards. This ensures that our professional development is relevant, forward-thinking, and directly supports the pedagogical needs of our teaching community, enabling them to harness technology's full potential in their classrooms.

Ultimately, our department strives to equip both students and teachers with the very best instructional technology available. This includes not only classroom technology and STEAM curriculum resources but also ongoing support and expertise for all technological needs. Our overarching mission is clear: to provide our students with an unparalleled learning experience, fostering their curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking skills through the thoughtful and strategic application of technology.
