Cumberland County Schools (CCS) is proud to announce its latest recognition as a 'District of Distinction' by zSpace, a leading technology vendor in the field of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) solutions.
An award ceremony took place on Wednesday, Oct. 25 at Seventy-First High School. CCS' CTE and Technology leadership was recognized as top in the nation because of their exceptional support of their teachers through professional development and tech support. CCS was selected for this award because of the district's strategic focus on providing students with innovative, industry-relevant experiences while showing best practices in tech implementation.
Over the past school year and during the summer, CCS actively engaged in a comprehensive case study in collaboration with zSpace. This innovative case study centered around the integration of zSpace's cutting-edge products within the educational curriculum, specifically targeting the fields of health science, agriculture, and various sciences.
In 2022, the district initiated the deployment of 19 zSpace glasses-free Inspire laptops as part of its ongoing commitment to enhancing CTE programs. These laptops, equipped with zSpace's built-in curriculum, have empowered educators to delve deeply into diverse subject matter, providing an immersive learning experience for students.
"Targeted professional development is an essential component for our premier professionals to prepare and focus on career and technical essential standards," said Chip Lucas, the executive director of CCS' CTE program in a press release.
