Future Ready Case Study #2: Enhancing Personalized Student Learning through Data Use
Office of Educational Technology, US Department of Education
This is one of nine case studies that examine and document districts' uses, applications, and perceptions of the Future Ready Schools (FRS) professional learning resources in their efforts to become Future Ready. Topeka Public Schools is located in northeast Kansas and serves students in grades Prekindergarten through 12. The student population is 40% White, 30% Hispanic, 19% Black, and 9% of two or more races. About 74% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and 11% are classified as English language learners. Before Future Ready Schools (FRS) resources were leveraged in Topeka Public Schools, the district established a one-to-one technology initiative. Students in secondary schools had Chromebooks, and the district was in the process of providing devices for elementary students. However, beyond having access to technology in classrooms, teachers and students were not actively engaged with the devices, nor were they consistently using open education resources, a key district priority. New district leadership in Topeka, already familiar with the FRS resources and coming from another Future Ready school district, introduced incentives to provide teachers and students with a more in-depth level of instructional planning using data-driven decision making.
