Technology plays a major part in classroom instruction. All teachers have telephones with voice mail access to assist parents, students and teachers in facilitating communication. All of our school libraries are automated, all classrooms are connected to the Internet and every classroom has 2 to 4 networked computers. In April 2000, the budget passed by the voters enabled the District to move forward and provide excellent resources for our students and staff. We also have an extensive Staff Development Program, enabling teachers to develop and enhance the use of technology in the classroom and implement best practices for effective teaching.
Technology is integrated into daily teaching and learning experiences.
Our students gather and present their research using the tools of technology. We also provide a wide variety of clubs, athletics, and a before and after school homework center for students at Readington Middle School. This year all students in grades 6-8 will have instruction in Spanish or French. The district has a five-year initiative to provide differentiated instruction to students in order to meet the needs of all students. This is a focus of staff development workshops and curriculum half days.
