Wiley Middle
Principal: Dr. Octavia A. Reid
Welcome to Wiley Middle School, where every student is issued a Mac computer as an educational tool to enhance their learning. This is the district goal: The Teaching and Learning with Technology Initiative (One to One) is being instituted to further this vision (PASSAGE: to prepare students for success in a global economy) and help prepare students for their future, a world of digital technology, global information, and instant communication. Increasing access to technology is essential for that future, and laptops, within a wireless learning environment, help students to learn at their full potential and to prepare for college and the workplace.
Wiley staff is utilizing technology in such a way to help students reach their goals. At every level, our staff is engaging students with the technology so that students can critically think and utilize 21st century skills to significantly increase learning. Students also are engaged in the process of helping teachers learn, and their peers. We feel the best way to engage students is to get their feedback on how the laptops impact their learning, and utilize their talents as well to move the One to One initiative forward. We are infusing technology as a seamless tool in the classroom . Our kids are already ahead of us in this venture, so we must guide them as to how to use technology appropriately to further their learning. Happy Surfing!
