Henry County Schools Case Study

Rockstar educators in Henry County, Georgia are lighting the way for increased G Suite adoption in their district along with a massive Chromebook rollout. Google for Education, along with Professional Development partner MobileMind, has partnered with technology leadership in Henry County Schools (HCS) to provide differentiated professional learning for HCS principals, assistant principals, district leaders, media specialists, and a select cohort of teacher leaders called Innovation Champions.

Since the inception of the PD project in May 2017, these Innovation Champions have been immersed in face-to-face Google workshops and ongoing personalized virtual learning with MobileMind. They are engaged and passionate about meaningful technology integration and incredibly motivated to soak up all things Google. These technology enthusiasts are not only passionate about redefining learning for their own students; they are also empowering other educators to leverage Google tools by offering professional learning opportunities in their buildings. 

MobileMind and HCS plan to build off the success of this project in the coming school year, expanding the reach of both face-to-face learning opportunities and G Suite Cloud PD to eventually reach all HCS educators. MobileMind and HCS continue to collaborate on this exciting initiative and are grateful for the incredible support of the Google EDU team throughout the duration of the project.
