World Wide Williamsport

“The time for major change in education is now.  In a world where rapid advances in technology have a profound impact on the ways we work, communicate and live, education has struggled to keep pace. Technology is an essential element in the design of effective learning and teaching environments.  Digital fluency and citizenship are instrumental in the academic success of students and their preparation for college and careers.  Professional learning for educators must include strategies for seamlessly integrating technology into the learning process. Districts are driven to provide equitable access for all learners with devices regardless of geographic location and socio-economic levels.” — Adapted from the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)

WASD Vision

Transform teaching by implementing technology tools to enhance delivery, content, and student learning to support curriculum-driven technology innovations (Superintendent ’s  Entry  Plan).

What is World Wide Williamsport?

To be consistent with our Vision Statement, the Williamsport Area School District has an obligation to prepare or students for an ever-changing world, that sees technological advancements at a rapid rate.  We believe that every student has a right to an education that prepares them for future education and/or future employment, and develops the skills that they must have as citizens of the 21st Century: creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.  As a 1:1 district, we strive to ensure that every student in every class has opportunities to learn in an engaging environment, whether at home or in-school, reflective of the world that surrounds all of us.
