The+Vision

=**Why are we here?**=

==Students must have the knowledge and skills that will empower them to be successful in life. By personalizing learning for each student, implementing researched based best teaching practices, and being innovative in our classroom instruction, we can ensure that we will meet our goals. ==

The is not primarily a technology project, nor is technology its main focus. This is about enhancing teaching and learning to personalize and differentiate learning for students and best meet their immediate and long term needs. Our project focuses on sound pedagogy and content knowledge for educators and leveraging instructional technology through the use of 21st century strategies, tools, and resources.

High school teachers across Edgecombe County will seamlessly incorporate technology into great teaching. By working together, teachers on all campuses will create high quality, technology-infused lessons that prepare students for the rigor of work they will be expected to master in college and across multiple professions as they work to better their community.
