Preparing your workforce.

Apple devices are real-world tools that pupils and students can use both at school and after graduation.

Future skills

Apple’s ecosystem can help teaching staff align classroom environments with the tools and skills needed today and for the future. As all of the Fortune 500 companies use Apple devices on a large scale, students can familiarise themselves with the same devices and software they’ll be using in their professional lives.

Digital expertise

In all industries—both high-tech and more traditional—technology is playing an ever more crucial role, making it essential to integrate digital skills and new technologies into lessons. Using technology allows all pupils to acquire the digital expertise and capabilities they need to prepare for their future careers.

Programming
and app development

Mastering programming and app development reinforces self-confidence and problem-solving skills. Programming with Apple gives teachers the tools and resources to help students express themselves while preparing for their future, whatever career path they choose. It has never been easier to prepare students for jobs in the app industry.

Intelligent investment.

Apple technologies offer a unique way of supporting active and engaging learning experiences.

• Equal access:

Accessibility features to support speech, visual, hearing, mobility, and cognitive needs are built in to every Apple device, giving all students the same opportunities. These features which include VoiceOver,  AssistiveTouch, and Speak Screen are perfect for students with a host of learning needs and also help them to develop independence.

• Active, personalised learning:

Active learning with iPad and Mac means rethinking the role that technology plays both in and out of the classroom as it empowers students to learn the way they want. iPads and Mac make it easier to personalise and contextualise content and workflows with apps developed for creativity, productivity and collaboration.

• Support digital assessments:

Apple devices support the next generation of digital assessment.  iPad and Mac are compatible with all key exam boards and types of final exams to offer a secure examination environment. They also offer a range of first and third-party formative learning apps for monitoring and evaluating students’ progress.  

Sustainable investment.

Apple’s goal is to support education managers to intelligently and securely invest in technology.

• Intelligent investment:
  Engineered to last and designed with the environment in mind, the iPad and Mac retain their value over time while improving operational efficiency. Thanks to flexible financing options, school administrators and parents can leverage the best products and services.
•  Data protection and security
  Data protection is a fundamental human right for Apple. All Apple products feature integrated data protection features and controls to protect personal data so you can rest assured that your students’ and teachers’ data are safe.  And with Family Sharing, screen time, and app limits, you can manage content and data protection on your iPad.
• Commitment to environmental protection
  Apple’s goal is to make every Apple product climate neutral by 2030. Apple products have a long lifespan, are energy efficient, and are made from renewable or recycled materials as well as being largely recyclable.  

Professional development.

Apple offers meaningful resources for professional development and to support teachers.

• Equipping teachers with professional tools:

Teachers go to work every day ready to help all of their students realise their potential—which deserves the best professional tools. Apple devices are powerful, intuitive, long-lasting and used across a wide range of industries.

• Professional training:

Apple supports teachers, managers and IT teams with a range of services and resources to meet their needs.  Taking part in Apple Professional Learning means building up capabilities through personalised support, coaching, and mentoring—an ongoing collaboration between Apple and teaching staff.  

• Enabling teachers:

Apple technologies and resources give teachers the technology, tools and resources they need to motivate students, teach, and provide feedback. iPad and Mac are compatible with apps and services that teachers and students use on a daily basis, such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for Education.
