“Freedom to Learn (FTL) is a statewide initiative aimed at improving student achievement and engagement in our Michigan schools. FTL is the catalyst for changing the way students learn and teachers teach. The demands of a 21st century educational system make this change necessary.
FTL empowers teachers to individualize instruction for every child — truly to leave no child behind. FTL creates an environment where every child can have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), where learning occurs anytime and anywhere, where students are motivated by their own medium of expression. FTL accomplishes this new educational vision through a one-to-one learning environment, in which every student and teacher has access to his or her own wireless laptop in a wireless environment.” -

-
needs a mission statement that really answers those questions and provides a road map for how the program will move forward. The mission for some is to improve students’ technology skills; for others, it is to create more opportunities for self-directed learning.
-
a vision committee should be established to outline what else is needed for the program to succeed.
