Network Infrastructure is Foundational 

Aging and complex infrastructures, budget restraints, a flood of new devices requiring a broad range of information and media-rich content are putting huge demands on your network.   

A reliable IT infrastructure plan addresses the shift to the technology dependent classrooms,  and all the other network dependent business needs such as video surveillance, VoIP communications, access control, "big" data,  and more.  To lay a foundation for success in this digital era, K-12 school districts must maximize IT efficiency through their people, processes, and technology. Credo seeks to understand those three areas, and the business outcomes and success criteria that a district is striving to achieve then design a network that meets those objectives. 

To understand better your current infrastructure, and to ensure it will support the needs of the district moving forward, let's schedule a free consultation.

Searching for ways to significantly impact the district's safety and security programs?

Today’s administrators are under constant pressure to secure their schools and to provide a safe environment for faculty, administrative staff, and students.  However, this has become a more complex and time-consuming endeavor than in previous years.

But not to worry.  Administrators, parents, and community stakeholders searching for ways to significantly impact their district's safety and security programs now have a broad range of solutions available to them. Advancements in technology have made it possible for schools to acquire security solutions that may previously have been out of reach due to cost or infrastructure restraints. Enhancements such as integrated camera and alarm monitoring systems, electronic door access control, and emergency communication platforms are just a few of the options available.

It's about learning life skills

At Credo Consulting our passion is creating innovative environments that enable students to learn more effectively and develop the essential skills needed for life.  In short, the environment needs to be engaging, adaptable, and promote learning. 

Activity and Average retention rate

Redefining learning environments requires more than great teachers, it necessitates providing students and teachers the tools to engage, collaborate, and to learn differently.  It's a profound change to the entire learning environment leveraging all of four modalities to improve student engagement. 

We commonly consider four modalities:visual (seeing), auditory (hearing), kinesthetic (moving), and tactile (touching). As you might guess, the more senses or modalities we can activate, the more learning will take place (see Learning Pyramid above).  

This data is based on research from Edger Dale in 1946 (The Learning Pyramid), and several other studies, including research by The Metiri Group in 2008.

taken in 1937, What's changed?

Crazy as it seems, not much.  The environment in which most children learn remains the same: a typical classroom setting with tables and chairs facing a teacher.  There's a new generation of learners among us, and that typical classroom configuration no longer works.

Engaging and Collaborative

The future designs of learning environments should inspire creativity, enable collaboration, promote critical thinking, and engage today's students; digital natives.  As we redefine and promote innovative teaching and learning, we will continue to invest in our youth and prepare them to succeed in work and life.

Creating a collaborative culture

Integrating technology into the learning process is fundamental for educators, but changing institutional culture and teaching practices can be a challenge.

Our goal is to create an environment that supports the effective use of instructional technology in the classroom and promote a culture of student and teacher collaboration.  We work closely with your teachers, so they feel empowered and confident to integrate that technology into their daily instruction and collaboration time.
