Warsaw Community Schools sent a team of school district leaders to Prairie Trail School in Wadsworth, Illinois to participate in the Future Ready Regional Summit, June 15-16, designed to help district leaders improve teaching and learning through the effective use of technology. Warsaw Community Schools was recognized as one of the top 100 Future Ready Schools, hosted at the White House Nov. 19, 2014.

Warsaw Community Schools Superintendent Dr. David Hoffert stated, “Warsaw Community Schools is extremely honored to be recognized as a national leader in preparing students for college and career opportunities. Warsaw Community Schools is one of the foremost leaders in STEM education, providing local community partnerships, implementation of cutting edge curriculum and technology infrastructure.”

Superintendent Dr. David Hoffert and his district leadership team are furthering Warsaw Community Schools commitment to becoming future ready by engaging in a series of workshops that showcases Warsaw Community Schools and offers expert collaboration to create or build upon an existing digital learning plan that aligns with instructional best practice.

The plan is implemented by highly trained teachers, and leads to personalized learning experiences for all students, particularly those from traditionally underserved communities.

“Superintendents and corporation leaders provide critical knowledge to ensure that every child in their district benefits from what we know matters and what we know works for kids, said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. “The Future Ready Regional Summits will be a forum where local leaders can share knowledge with their peers, engage leaders from outside their region and better equip themselves with skills and tools necessary to provide students with what they need to be successful in life.”

While attending the Summit, the WCS Leadership Team will miss the Board of School Trustees’ Regular Board Meeting. In true future-ready technology format, they will utilize Skype to participate electronically from the conference site.
