Overview

In 2014, we met our goal of becoming a 1:1 school (800+ Chromebooks were deployed), integrating Google tools seamlessly to support our lesson planning schema. Student engagement and collaboration improved as a result of increased opportunities for peer feedback, timely checks for understanding and use of formative assessment tools. The regular use of Google Workspace motivated our teaching and support staff to obtain professional development through the available Google Educator certifications. With the support of our in-house Google Trainer, today 84% of our staff are Level 1 Google certified educators and 17% are Level 2. 

Google Workspace for Education has given the AST community more than a toolkit to support teaching and learning. It has helped to simplify everyday tasks and equip our students to acquire the skills they need to prepare for the future. We are proud to be the first school in Honduras and Central America to be recognized as a Google Reference School. This is more than a badge for AST, it reflects our continued commitment to being true to our mission of being an innovative and student-centered school.
