CCISD Future Ready Leaders Dr. Roland Hernandez Superintendent of Schools “Welcome to our 6th Annual TECH2TEACH Conference. This Tech2Teach is more relevant than ever! I am very excited to kick-off another wonderful year for Team CCISD. To say that we have done so much in a short period of time in the district and with the addition of our TECH2TEACH conference, is an understatement. I could not be more proud of our Instructional Technology team and our wonderful teaching staff for embracing this opportunity in moving our school district forward. Each of you continue to make a difference! Your efforts and commitment to our students, families, district and community are what continue to turn heads across the state and nation in recognizing CCISD as a model district. Take with you all that this conference provides, and together, let’s make 2020-2021 another wonderful year.” - Dr. Roland Hernandez, Superintendent of CCISD Dr. Maria Luisa Guerra Deputy Superintendent “CCISD has embraced the Future Ready Schools framework and expects our district leaders to embrace blended learning with research-based digital learning strategies, so all students can achieve their full potential. We believe every student deserves a rigorous, personalized learning environment filled with caring adults and student advocates. We recognize and appreciate district leader commitment to digital tools and the necessary technologies with the instructional goals to support teaching and learning. With the passing of the bond we will be able to provide more mobile technology for EVERY classroom in CCISD and improve our infrastructure; therefore we continue to embrace Robert Marzano’s research and his 43 elements in, The NEW Art and Science of Teaching. Robert Marzano’s research is essential for a strong framework to achieve student engagement and success in a blended learning environment. CCISD’s 2020 Tech2Teach gives you the opportunity to embrace examples of elements Marzano’s 23-32 that focus on engagement strategies.
