 We’ve Already Given It Serious Thought. Planning and Grant Writing In concert with Futurekids consultants, clients create an initial technology plan that addresses critical solution components. Once we have determined administrators’, teachers’ and students’ needs, we produce a professional development program aligned with the plan. An important deliverable is an outline of specific near and long term goals for the district. In fact, both parties shake on a clear understanding of responsibilities for deliverables and expectations for achievement. Following predetermined timelines and benchmarks, we are able to judge the success of the training and implementation. Though technology can pay off for education, it does not pay for itself. So where are the funding dollars? When are they available? What requisites exist? Who is eligible? What performance criteria must be met? Common questions posed by dollar-strapped school districts in today’s pay-as-you-go budget environment. Futurekids has the answers and provides valuable grant writing services as part of our 5-step solution. We know the application process inside out. We’re deadline-savvy, process smart. Most importantly, we not only help schools obtain funding, we assess to ensure that they meet program requirements. Using our proprietary reporting system, school districts can verify the effectiveness of their technology investment and use that validation in pursuit of future funding. Training Training is Job #1 for Futurekids: helping teachers and administrators to capitalize on technology and improve learning outcomes for students. In a profession as fluid as teaching, it’s likely that different individuals hold varying degrees of proficiency. So we design professional development programs that match with a school’s individual technology literacy. Our training techniques vary, depending on the environment and the trainee population. Site-based, project based and thematic pedagogical strategies meet the different skill levels of each participant.
