1 to 1 Learning

Foundations for Success

Benefit from our experience

Apple has worked closely with hundreds of schools across the country to implement successful 1 to 1 learning programs and create 21st century learning environments. Through this extensive experience, we have recognized that there are foundational components common to all successful 1 to 1 learning programs.

Key components for success

Provide leadership and vision

Success requires leadership that can clearly articulate a vision of a 21st century learning environment, help manage change, and provide resources and support as needed.

Establish a financial plan

It is important to identify the total cost of a 1 to 1 learning program and to develop a financial plan that is sustainable from year to year. Apple Financial Services can assist in serving your funding needs for a 1 to 1.

Engage the community

Community support is essential. Involve the entire community from the beginning and throughout the implementation.

Assess your infrastructure

A 1 to 1 learning program creates increased reliance on the district or school’s technology and support infrastructure. Apple Education Professional Services can assist with planning for, deploying, and integrating a 1 to 1 program.

Reexamine curriculum and pedagogy

1 to 1 learning is about improving teaching and learning to more fully engage students in the learning process. The Apple Digital Learning Series provides collections of educator-recommended software and tools for creating an engaging 21st century learning environment.

Provide professional development

Effective professional development for teachers, staff, and administrators is critical to the success of a 1 to 1. Apple Professional Development provides research-based professional development that addresses the needs of your teachers and staff.

Develop assessment and evaluation

Determine both quantitative and qualitative measures for assessing if the goals of the 1 to 1 are being met. Communicate these findings to the community to assure their continued support for the program.
