PROGRAMS
EdTech Assesment Program
​
​
Our focus is helping schools raise student achievement through appropriate implementation of technology into the student learning experience. The resources provided by Project TopFloor are experts in their field and will provide third party insight into the current effectiveness and utilization of technology by the school, as well as how the organization is meeting State laws and regulations regarding privacy and cybersecurity. The work is performed at no cost to schools by individuals that bring decades of industry knowledge in engineering and/ or executive-level IT experience. Our goal is to provide the advantages of an experienced expert in Information Technology to educational institutions that might not be capable of funding such a role internally. Our process leverages industry leading best practices around process execution, budgeting, operational efficiencies, and improving IT decision-making.
ConnectUP Program
​
The ConnectUP Program at Project TopFloor brings communities together to support and celebrate the educational experience. The program leverages technology to further education by bringing together community experts and collaborating with teachers, parents, and students. The increase in community involvement facilitates the exposure of students to areas such as leadership, business, arts, and science. The impact of this program in the community will increase the communication between parents and schools, increase parental involvement, and achieve an overall improved educational experience.
