Future Ready is an effort intended to bring about digital learning opportunities designed to prepare students for college, career and citizenship. It provides a framework, resources, training and support. Districts that sign the Future Ready pledge "commit to foster and lead a culture of digital learning in their districts" (Dept. of Education). Academy School District 20 is one of those districts.

What does this mean for the classroom teacher? Much of what happens in this effort is behind the scenes in support of our students and the learning experience. To support districts committed to this effort, Future Ready Schools has a created number of programs:
  • District Leaders
  • Librarians
  • Principals
  • Instructional Coaches
  • Technology Leaders
  • Digital Equity
  • High School Improvement (coming soon)

At the heart of Future Ready Schools is a Framework. The framework consists of 7 gears focused around Personalized Student Learning:
  • Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment
  • Personalized Professional Learning
  • Robust Infrastructure
  • Budget & Resources
  • Community Partnerships
  • Data and Privacy
  • Use of Space and Time
Collaborative Leadership, while not a gear itself, runs throughout all of the gears.

At Pine Creek High School we've already taken a number of steps down this road. We have improved our infrastructure; we have established common planning for much of our staff; we have a path to determine if digital resources ensure our student's data privacy; we are developing assessment literacy and digital leaders; our professional learning weaves together our site plan with department needs; and, we are working though our assessment process and honors project. We're already taking great steps forward to be Future Ready and we're just beginning!

    I am a Digital Learning Coach by title, but lifelong learner by practice. An Apple Teacher, Google Certified Educator and Microsoft Innovative Educator, my goal is to assist educators in investigating, exploring, and  investigating resources to embed in their instruction. I also hope to be a part of their journey toward an innovative and transformative practice that empowers learners and strengthens their own craftsmanship. I spends my free time with my family, my dogs and a good cup of coffee.
