Shared Vision
The technology vision of the Chelmsford Public Schools is to create a learning environment based upon the seamless inclusion of technology in classroom instruction and providing students and staff with access to curriculum and current information. Our 1:1 program is about access, as we strive to provide our learning community with the tools needed to make technology an integral part of learning, teaching, communicating and collaborating.
Through ongoing, comprehensive professional development, all teachers will have multiple opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to integrate technology into their evolving curriculum and instruction. We will teach students to seek out information, solve problems, and practice positive digital citizenship. With access to the latest technology, students will have boundless opportunities to be creative, demonstrate their understanding, and develop critical thinking skills, which will prepare Chelmsford Public Schools’ students for their future.
