Building a High-Performing 1:1 Program: Learnings from The One-to-One Institute - Ubiquitous technology is now the norm, at least on paper—70% of American high schools (public, religious, charter, independent) identify as 1:1. (Whether or not they actually are is a worthy question for another discussion). This means that the mere existence of our 1:1 programs is no longer a differentiator for independent schools. Independent schools will find that some of the key factors for success hold true in our schools. Is it time to take a look at your 1:1 program? Presented by Sarah Hanawald of The One-to-One Institute.
