A graduate of Harvard University with both a master’s degree and a doctorate in educational administration, Dr. Christine Johns serves as the superintendent of Utica Community Schools (UCS) in Michigan. In an interview with eSpark Learning, Dr. Christine Johns shared her expertise in various areas of education. When eSpark asked Dr. Johns about her team’s decision to use eSpark Learning apps, she responded that the apps proved to be high-quality, standards-aligned learning tools for elementary students. Further, the apps helped UCS avoid what would have been a complex logistical challenge: having teachers purchase apps for 28,400 students across multiple schools and classrooms. UCS instead hired eSpark as a third-party curator and provider, which expedited the process of reaching each student with eSpark Learning apps on iPads. With these apps, teachers can differentiate learning and even form small groups to address students’ individual needs, such as vocabulary development and reading skills. With eSpark Leaning apps, UCS students engage in several classroom learning stations as they work to meet the goals of their individual learning plans.
