Model Schools – CoSer 546

Model Schools supports districts in the thoughtful use of technology to improve teaching, learning, planning, and school operations. The focus is on helping educators and leaders use digital tools in ways that are meaningful, practical, and connected to student success.

Technology changes quickly. Schools need support that helps them make smart decisions, not just add more tools.

Through Model Schools, districts can receive guidance, professional learning, planning support, and access to shared resources that strengthen instructional technology practices. This may include support with digital learning tools, classroom technology integration, instructional software, learning management systems, emerging technologies, online resources, and technology-supported instruction.

The work is collaborative. Model Schools helps educators explore how technology can support curriculum, engagement, accessibility, creativity, communication, and assessment. It can also help administrators and instructional leaders plan for sustainable technology use across classrooms, departments, buildings, and districts.

Good technology use begins with clear goals. A device or platform is only valuable when it supports learning, saves time, improves access, or helps teachers and students do something better. Model Schools helps districts connect technology decisions to instructional priorities and real classroom needs.

At its core, Model Schools helps schools move forward with confidence. It provides the support, training, and planning needed to use technology responsibly, effectively, and with purpose.
