STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) courses and
activities continue to be a focus of instruction across the district. We
are proud to work with our community members, as well as college and
university partners, to bring courses and opportunities associated with
science, technology, engineering, art and math to our students.
During the 2017-18 school year, the Currituck County Board of
Education is continuing the implementation of digital learning devices
in all our K-12 classrooms. As part of this initiative, all students in grades
6-12 are provided a Chromebook laptop for use at school and at home.
Every fifth grade student is assigned a Chromebook for use in school.
By the end of the first semester, every fourth grade student will also
be assigned a Chromebook for use in school, and grade 3 classrooms
will have approximately 10 Chromebooks per classroom. In grades
K-2, sets of Kindle devices allow even our youngest students access to
technology enhanced educational activities that bring their learning
into the digital age.
The devices and technology based resources provide teachers with a
tool to personalize and differentiate learning for students at all levels.
Teachers deploy instructional practices that better engage students
in higher level thinking, research, and real-life application projects
providing the opportunity to utilize the 21st century skills needed
to be successful in school and beyond. Currituck County Schools
continues to be out in front—offering students the best educational
opportunities, whether delivered in a face-to face, online, or in a
blended setting.
