Tech for Ed in Jeffco
Jeffco Public School’s 1:1 program provides first- through 12th-grade students in neighborhood and option schools a district Chromebook. This creates an equitable and sustainable model for technology-enabled classrooms that prepares students to thrive in a connected, digital world in alignment with the Jeffco Thrives Strategic Plan.
All students can access a district-purchased and managed Chromebook to personalize their learning. This closes the digital device divide and addresses the inequities in classrooms to transform learning.
Students in grades K-12 can also access a variety of digital applications and consistent tools that give them opportunities to demonstrate learning in creative and challenging ways. Each of the technology tools supports students as creators, collaborators and innovative problem solvers rather than as consumers of information.
The program also allows for professional development and learning for teachers to use the provided tools and devices to transform student learning experiences. Having consistent tools and opportunities for teacher training allows for more challenging learning and student engagement and deeper technology integration.

Mrs. Rains is happy to continue being part of the Leawood and Governor's Ranch Communities as the shared Digital Teacher Librarian. She has been an Educator for 21 years and a Teacher Librarian for 8 years, teaching in Arkansas, South Korea, and Colorado. As a DTL, she loves getting to connect with all of the students in the school, sharing a great love of literacy and technology, and collaborating with classroom teachers to support and supplement lessons. Mrs. Rains believes that the school library belongs to the entire school community, and she is excited to partner with staff, students, and family members at both schools to provide supportive, welcoming library spaces to be utilized by all.
Mrs Rains loves reading (print AND audiobooks), traveling, researching, comedy shows, live music, coffee, and podcasts. She lived in South Korea with her family for 8 years and relished getting to travel all over Asia and the South Pacific! She is a native of San Diego, CA and the beach is one of her favorite places to be. She and her husband have a daughter in 8th grade, a son in 5th grade, and have enjoyed living in Colorado since 2016. She co-leads her daughter's Girl Scout Troop. Mrs. Rains and her kids started trying to visit all of the U.S. National Parks in 2020 and so far have made it to 11. Stop by the library to say hi and find a book, talk about the places where you like to travel, or come see her if you need any help with technology.
