Extensive Use of Technology

We don’t believe computers substitute for teachers. But proficiency with technology is so vital to our graduates’ abilities to thrive in a 21st century society that it is integral to our educational plan.

At its foundation, we ensure that every student master the basic computer skills needed in today’s labor market-familiarity with basic operating systems, office productivity tools and the Internet. Students then apply these skills in the classroom, where they use technology as a tool for research, production and communication, just as they do in everyday life. Beyond this, interested students will have the opportunity to learn advanced skills in HTML, graphics, networking and programming.

In addition, Leadership Public Schools relies heavily on technology to help us assess how our students and teachers are performing. Attendance, grading and students records are automated. These tools are vital to the success of our counseling and early intervention programs.
