Production Readiness Rubric

Please engage your school community (teachers, leaders, school governance councils, etc.) in completing this rubric by December 3. The rubric outlines some key conditions for successfully integrating technology to personalize learning. It is meant as a tool to assess where you are as a school, and to help you decide which implementation group you would prefer to join.

Feel free to contact Hoke Wilcox with questions (wilcoxh@fultonschools.org, 404-763-6876). Answers to frequently asked questions will be posted to the Principal Toolkit so everyone can see the responses.
