FRS New Bedford Cohort
October 2024 to March 2025
Together, we create customized digital equity plans to ensure our schools better prepare students for their successful futures.
Overall Cohort Goals
During our time together as a cohort, we will:
- Develop a customized, evidence-based New Bedford Digital Equity plan, grounded in the gears of the Future Ready Framework.
- Collaboratively problem-solve with colleagues from around the state because this work is not easy to do alone.
- Identify and redesign areas of both strength and need to better serve each student.
- Unlock the training, tools, and collegial accountability needed to drive transformation.
- Leverage the best aspects of Future Ready Schools to set and accomplish your team’s unique goals.
