At the heart of Future Ready Schools® (FRS) and the Interactive Planning Dashboard is the Future Ready Framework, a robust structure for digital learning visioning, planning, and implementation focused on student-centered learning. The research-based framework emphasizes collaborative leadership and creating an innovative school culture. All content focuses on seven key areas, referenced as gears, plus leadership, each of which is addressed during the comprehensive planning process. Mahwah Schools has undergone this planning process to create an action plan, unique to our school district, and ultimately keeps student learning at the heart of all decision-making.
