New York State Education Department Instructional technology plan survey

Transcription

1 The instructional technology plan survey is designed to allow districts the opportunity to compile all data related to their technology planning and needs in one location. The data collected in the survey may be used as the basis for funding opportunities and will satisfy the New York State Education Department s requirement that school districts submit technology plans per Part of the Commissioner s Regulations. The regulation states: To be eligible for aid for instructional computer hardware and technology equipment expenses pursuant to Education Law, section 753, school district shall develop and maintain a plan, in a format prescribed by the commissioner, for the use of the instructional computer technology equipment ( This document contains the DRAFT Instructional Technology Plan survey questions.

The Salmon River Central School District values academic achievement, cultural diversity and celebrates individuality within a safe, supportive learning environment. The Salmon River Central School District will use technology to enable all staff, students and the community to successfully implement our mission. Response is limited to 100 words. 2. Please provide the executive summary of the instructional technology plan, including vision and goals. Summary - Introduction: The Salmon River Central School District is committed to preparing our students to be college and career ready by equipping them with the technological skills necessary to make wise decisions, to work productively and to compete at a global level. We are committed to providing students with meaningful and authentic opportunities to access and critically analyze information, to develop and showcase higher order thinking skills, and to be creative and collaborative problem solvers. Computer and information technology have transformed the way the world learns, communicates and conducts business. This change requires the SRCSD to continually assess the ways in which we educate our students, but also creates challenges that affect district policies and planning for replacement of equipment. Vision: The SRCSD technology plan supports the teaching and learning process required of a 21 st century school, and therefore supports the belief that effective use of technology supports the development of 21 st century skills such as flexibility, adaptability, critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration. We believe that technology is a tool to address the learning needs of all students. Goals: To support administrators and teachers to implement technology in ways that will prepare students for college and career readiness. 3

4 To facilitate the integration of technology into the K-12 curriculum, with a primary focus on Project Based Learning and STEM initiatives. To support administrators and staff in learning, implementing, and promoting professional practices that model 21 st century skills. To collaborate with all stakeholders, while maintaining fiscal responsibility to sustain the necessary growth of the infrastructure and progressive technological needs of the district. 3. Please summarize the planning process used to develop the instructional technology plan. Please include the stakeholder groups participating and the outcomes of the instructional technology plan development meetings. The Technology Committee will convene on a regular basis (at least quarterly) to collaborate about the technology needs and to monitor implementation of the current technology plan. Stakeholders from the District include representatives from instructional technology, instructional support, administration, directors of instruction and special education, library media specialists, teachers and input from community members. 12/16/14 Director of Instruction and Middle school principal and staff presented a plan for digital citizenship for the use of technology for students; free curriculum available for all grades. Will plan to incorporate for middle school for next year. Reported to the public at Board of Ed Meeting. Presenting staff will also present in Albany for a TED talk with Bill Daggett. 1/26/15 IAL grant will support purchase of IPADS and chrome books. Staff were surveyed. 3/23/15 Technology update- purchases of EBooks, databases and devices to improve student learning. 4/8/15 Technology Device Meeting- Review IAL purchases, and review of needs for buildings to plan for installment plan. Need to gather more information from staff. 4/20/15 Board of Ed Report- technology purchases for IAL grant. 6/15/15 Technology Instructional Plan meeting Installment plan; needs vs wants prioritize, review building needs; Need to consider the new HS career pathways; STEM in the middle school; Need to designate staff to be responsible to survey and understand technology needs and how they fit into the overall vision. Summer- Outcomes of meetings: Discussions regarding instructional delivery, STEM/Project-Based Learning technology integration, improved use of district technology, review of needs assessment done by library media specialists, priorities for replacement of existing technology, support of Innovative Approaches to Literacy Grant initiatives (increase awareness of available research databases, train staff and students in the use of 4

5 databases, decrease ratio of digital devices- to-students, ebook purchases for libraries), curriculum for digital citizenship, ways to support new career pathways in the high school, rework scope and sequence of technology curriculum (skills), protocols for technology use. Response is limited to 500 words.

Please provide the source(s) of any gap between the current level of technology and the district s stated vision and goals. Access Points Cabling Connectivity Device Gap Network Professional Development Staffing Other No Gap Present Please check all that apply 4a. Please specify if Other was selected in question four. 5. Based upon your answer to question four, what are the top three challenges that are causing the gap? Devices - based upon the needs assessment and district inventory, more devices need to be purchased to reach the goal of 10:1 (devices to students) for this year, 5:1 for next year, and continue to a goal of 1:1by year 3. Professional Development - based on the needs assessment, the majority of teachers do not feel confident to integrate STEM/PBL applications and the use of digital devices such as Ipads and chromebooks. Staffing - the Salmon River Elementary building does not have a staff member devoted to instructional technology,as do the other buildings in the district.
