TSC Committee

 

 

In an era where technology permeates every aspect of our lives - from workplaces and communities to our personal spaces, the significance of weaving information and communication technologies into the fabric of education cannot be overstated. Our students must be adept in accessing, analyzing, applying, creating, and communicating information in the digital realm. Equally, our educators must weave technology into their curriculum to unlock innovative teaching methodologies and enrich learning experiences. Technology, thus, becomes an invaluable tool, not the end goal but a conduit to achieving greater educational outcomes.

 

 

The Technology Steering Committee (TSC) is created with a deliberate focus: to steer the integration and effective use of technology within Chamlian Armenian School's educational framework. Comprising administrators, faculty members, IT professionals, and parent experts, the TSC is tasked with facilitating the school's technology initiatives. Through its systematic meetings, the committee will guide the crafting and execution of a comprehensive Master Plan. This plan will lay out the detailed integration of technology across the curriculum, shaping the pathways for using technology to enhance learning and teaching processes.
