In DPS109 we are FUTURE READY! Engage, Inspire, Empower

“I have discovered in life that I can do anything, but I can’t do everything. No one can go it alone.”
– Robert Schuller


One of the Big 5 that guide and explain the momentum in DPS109 is Technology. In support of our motto: Engage, Inspire, Empower, our Board of Education authorized the transformation of our learning environments into what is known as 1:1 learning environments. We are device, company, and operating system “agnostic” – we believe in technology tools as supports to excellent teaching. The “ogy” to which we base our efforts and energies is PEDAGOGY not TECHNOLOGY. A great teacher will never be replaced by a great computer.

An initiative supported by the President of the United States as well as the Secretary of Education is the ConnectEd initiative. Today at the White House in Washington, D.C., President Obama addressed a gathering of superintendents and other educators from around the country at a Connected ED Superintendent Summit. Embedded into this blog is the 20 minute address the President gave to some of the nation’s thought leaders. It’s worth a listen, reflection, and review! We are proud in DPS109 to be FUTURE READY!
