Teachers are on the front lines of the education battlefield and providing reliable and efficient technology resources for them is crucial. Spending time fiddling with computer problems, searching for relevant content, or complying with the endless demands of compliance all rob time from educating our children.
When technology is viewed by teachers as an ally, rather than an adversary, that's a start. Only when technology becomes connected, collaborative, and accessible on demand can we unleash to creative genius within our teachers. Imagine the possibilities without the distraction of technology that interferes.
At Charter Consulting Group, technology is much more than a working computer, although cleary that's a good beginning. We strive to implement information systems that engender collaborative lesson planning, improve communication, encourage administrative efficiency, and reduce technology interruptions. And we strive to do so with accountable, secure, and compliant information systems.
While we recognize that existing infrastructure and culture have significant impact on your individual technology resources, we strive to empower teachers by demonstrating cost effective and sensible solutions to administrators. One size does not fit all and information systems that work well in large, multi-campus districts generally do not work well in freestanding Charter Schools.
We salute the outstanding contribution of our key educators, the front-line teachers, and are anxious to help implement sensible and reliable technology systems.
