READY FOR THE FUTURE

A Professional Learning Program for Texas Teachers

Now, more than ever, Texas needs confident and skilled teachers who are prepared to deliver compelling, digital-ready lessons on-site, at a distance, or through a mix of blended learning. Ready for the Future is laser focused on preparing teachers with the knowledge and skill to utilize instructional technology in and out of the classroom — and with the flexibility to adapt at a moments notice. 

Ready for the Future is more than just a teacher training program. It also includes access to a digital repository of hundreds of technology labs, teaching labs, and thousands of teacher-created and expert-validated lesson plans which are categorized by grade-level, subject area, and TEKS. Ready for the Future moves beyond pandemic mitigation to help districts re-imagine schools, redesign curriculum, and reinvent learning to serve future generations of students.
