Red Wing Public Schools ISD 256
March 29, 2026
Red Wing Public Schools continues to build momentum toward Flight Path 2030 through connected learning opportunities that strengthen staff capacity in AI-integrated computing education, which is inclusive of AI literacy, data science, and foundational computer science. Over the past month alone, the following occurred:
On March 5, the Northern Lights Collaborative held a professional development day for instructional leaders interested in learning how to integrate computer science education and computational thinking skills into the core curriculum in any subject area. RWPS staff explored resources and strategies for developing student critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity skills through exploring computer science in the classroom. Teachers came away with ideas, resources, and motivation to integrate computational thinking and computer science into their classrooms.
On March 27, DataSpire provided a virtual coaching session with staff who participated in the foundational data literacy/science training held in February. Teachers shared examples of student work that showed how Wingers are learning to interpret data, recognize patterns, and use evidence to support their thinking. By examining this work together, educators identified next steps to support student learning.
Also on March 27, as a supporting organization for National AI Literacy Day, RWPS was featured in a webinar with aiEDU where Superintendent Bob Jaszczak and RWHS Principal Joshua presented “Flight Path 2030: A Principal’s Blueprint for Building AI-Ready High Schools." That recording and others from the day will be distributed when published.
Together, these efforts demonstrate action to support the district’s Portrait of a Graduate and represent important early steps in Flight Path 2030, RWPS’s long-term roadmap to becoming a Center of Excellence in AI-Integrated Computing Education.
