Future Ready Case Study #1: Defining and Refining a Vision for Digital Learning Classrooms
Office of Educational Technology, US Department of Education
This is one of nine case studies that examine and document districts' uses, applications, and perceptions of the Future Ready Schools (FRS) professional learning resources in their efforts to become Future Ready. Bristol Warren Regional School District serves students from two suburban towns--Bristol and Warren--in Rhode Island. The district includes students in grades Prekindergarten through 12. The student population is predominantly White (88%), with about 5% Hispanic and 3% of two or more races. About 36% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and 2% are classified as English language learners. Superintendent Mario Andrade began serving the district as assistant superintendent when the district invested in several technology devices for classrooms, including laptop and desktop computers, tablets, and interactive whiteboards. However, the district did not have a plan or vision for how technology could transform teaching and learning. Through the use of the Future Ready Schools (FRS) resources, the district began conversations around the use of technology and a vision of how classrooms can support the transition to digital learning. With a focus on personalized learning for students and a digital learning team (DLT) that implemented research cycles to experiment with technology use, the district was able to refine its vision and facilitate the emphasis on digital learning in its classrooms.
