RationaleIn addition to the Early College High School considerations, 1:1 schools have added sustainability challenges. Not only must they be able to tell the early college story with authenticity and credibility, they must also articulate how the addition of technology tools and resources enhances the early college experience while preparing their students in a 21st Century teaching and learning environment. 1:1 schools must plan how to articulate the need to sustain their unique programs, both the school and its technology resources and personnel.
