SOUTHWEST ATLANTA The district consists of two schools:

Seymore Elementary

Dunlap Middle School

represents many different cultures and beliefs

Executive SummaryNew Schools of Mableton County have a visionary design and innovative plan to integrate technology throughout the curriculum. This plan has enabled us to successfully bridge the gap between a well-defined plan for integration and the effective implementation of that plan over two and a half years time.

We developed a plan to integrate technology and a process through which this plan would be implemented. Key to the implementation process has been a professional growth model that connects teacher needs and training with curricular application and innovation.
