Future Ready Schools Information

Established in 2014, FRS provides high-quality professional learning to school and school district leaders working to create learning environments that are tailored to each student's unique needs and strengths. As it nears its five-year anniversary in November, FRS has grown into one of the largest networks of school districts in the country. Today, 3,300 school district superintendents-representing more than 19 million students-and more than 42,000 educators rely on FRS's tools and resources focused on the effective use of technology to improve teaching and learning. FRS workshops are based on the FRS framework and include extensive training on the FRS Interactive Planning Dashboard, a free online tool that serves more than 1,000 school districts and 15,000 educators nationwide. Through these tools, educators develop a customized, systemic plan to personalize student learning through high-quality teaching infused with technology. Additionally, the FRS five-step planning process, which is aligned with Title IV of the Every Student Succeeds Act, allows district leaders to analyze how technology purchases fit into their district's vision for teaching and learning and support the unique needs of students. This process begins before districts invest valuable resources to purchase laptops, tablets, and other technological devices.
