Rio Rancho Public Schools believes that a well-rounded education includes the ability to effectively and responsibly use technology in teaching and learning. Future Ready helps to equip teachers and engage students to succeed in today's technology-driven society by:

• Providing adequate network infrastructure (fiber optics, wireless networks, electrical and internet connection ports, etc.) for students and staff to effectively use technology

• Providing devices, including computers, Chromebooks, interactive electronic displays, and more, to allow every teacher and student access to the many interactive resources available on the Web and through other sources

• Facilitating the eventual transition to electronic textbooks and other instructional materials

• Providing teachers with ongoing training (professional development) in the effective use of technology in the classroom and with resources that engage and excite students about learning

Lead and inspire the effective integration of technology within a guaranteed, rigorous, and engaging curriculum, resulting in high levels of achievement for all students.

(19,000 district wide)

One to one Chromebooks for all students (Prek-12)

Goal:  Ensure every teacher has the professional learning to have a seamless integration of technology into the curriculum that increases engagement, rigor, and student learning.

Curriculum and Instruction and IT will provide a menu of professional learning opportunities and strive for an ‘anytime/anywhere’ philosophy for professional learning.
