Digital Literacy and the Digital Age Learner

The needs and expectations of today’s faculty, staff, students, and families have changed as the
world has changed around us. The instructional strategies and resources provided to promote
academic growth for all students must be updated to properly prepare students for the demands
of today’s classrooms and workplaces.

Blended and Personalized Learning

The Future Ready Framework outlines five areas to begin to personalize learning within the
district. Under a personalized learning approach, teachers, school staff, and, as appropriate,
other adults:
● develop caring and trusting relationships with their students, who, because of these
relationships, are more engaged in their education and put more effort into their school
work
● connect the curriculum to students’ interests, strengths, and aspirations
● provide students with tools to monitor their progress in mastering critical knowledge and
skills, enabling them to take greater ownership (student agency) of their learning
● provide students with targeted instruction, practice, and support in areas where they are
struggling, while ensuring they learn challenging academic content and skills
● create more flexible learning environments, incorporating multiple instructional
approaches and the effective use of technology
● connect learning to real-world applications
