Vision

The vision of New Bedford Public Schools is to provide all students with the resources, knowledge, and skills to succeed in an ever growing and evolving technological society. 

Technology-supported classrooms must be equipped with up-to-date equipment and must be managed by knowledgeable, skilled, and motivated educators who are both comfortable and creative with technology in order to support student learning. 

In envisioning the future, we are committed to the following goals: 

Goal I: To provide all students and staff with equitable access to diverse instructional technology resources 

Goal II: To provide educators with a variety of “high quality on-going professional development opportunities that will advance curriculum technology integration in all learning environments 

Goal III : To seamlessly integrate technology into the curriculum to enhance student learning through both 
teacher preparation and student activities
