Curriculum Directors

One common misconception about 1:1 computing programs is that the use of mobile computing devices by students will, by itself, result in achievement gains. Research by Project RED and others underscores that the success of 1:1 programs is tied to many factors, one of which is curriculum and instruction. But do you know all of the steps for a successful implementation? Do you know how your position is going to impact the process and support your staff? Project RED offers a plethora of resources to help you hit the ground running.

Project RED conducted the first and only national research study to focus on academic results and the financial benefits of educational technology. Our research of 1,000 schools revealed key findings for the effective integration of technology in schools-- findings that show a replicable design for reducing costs and increasing student achievement. Let us show you how it can be done.

Learn about successful strategies

In order to see student achievement increase and to realize cost benefits from technology, several elements must be in place. The district’s core curriculum must be aligned to state or national standards. Technology must be meaningfully integrated into the curriculum in ways that engage and personalize learning. A student-centered pedagogy must be deployed in the delivery of instruction and throughout the learning process. Regular, ongoing professional development must be offered for teachers and administrators.

Practical, research-based method
