4 Executive Summary A Wythe County Public Schools Technology Committee comprised of administrators, teachers, students, parents and community members was formed in 1995 to develop Wythe County s first Technology Plan. Over the years, representatives from each of these groups have been involved in the revisions of and updates to the division s plan. The planning cycle continues to involve assessment of current needs, measurement of ongoing progress, and development of future goals. The Virginia Department of Education guides this planning cycle by providing the guidance of the State Technology Plan as well as planning tools that include a conceptual framework focused on the following areas: Appropriately and adequately designed environment Meaningful engagement Purposeful application of tools for learning Use of authentic technology tools to extend learning capabilities Authentic and intelligent assessments The VDOE has also provided goals and objectives to guide division plans toward effective technology use. Four key educational components: accountability, support, professional development, and curriculum will be integrated into local strategies to accomplish the goals and objectives of Wythe County Public Schools Technology Plan. Accountability Technology has become so ingrained into our current society that its value and importance in teaching and learning has become an expectation. Teachers and students have come to expect that the information technology they use on a daily basis be up-to-date and available at all times. Student data management, reporting and analysis has become another application of technology that is invaluable as a decision making tool. Support and Professional Development Professional Development is an ongoing effort that is constantly assessed and realigned as instructional technologies and applications change. The availability of grants and other financial assistance have provided funding for our ongoing professional development efforts. The most obvious obstacle standing in the way of meaningful professional development for teachers and staff continues to be inadequate time for professional development. The establishment of four Instructional Technology Resource Teachers in the school division has proven extremely valuable in both professional development and instructional support. Curriculum The use of technology has been integrated throughout the curriculum at all grade levels. Teachers and students from elementary to high school in Wythe County utilize various forms of technology to increase student achievement in all areas of study, with an emphasis on Math and Reading. All teachers and students are given the opportunity to use various technologies throughout the areas of curriculum for the creation and learning of new materials. Various forms of assessments using technology are utilized so teachers and learners will understand strengths and weaknesses. Based on these snapshots, planning, instruction and assessment of the curriculum are constantly revised as teachers carry out data driven decisions. Emphasis is placed on 21 st Century learning skills where the learning community is empowered to think analytically, critically, globally, and technologically. 4
5 Needs Assessment A gap between the current status and the vision for educational technology and student achievement will always exist. Over the past several years, budgets have proven to be adequate for staffing, infrastructure and training in the area of Instructional Technology (see fiscal analysis in technology plan). Should the State of Virginia discontinue the VPSA SOL technology grant funding at the same time local budgets are being reduced; all progress that has been made over the years will quickly diminish and the gap between the vision and existing status will once again become a major obstacle to academic achievement. To summarize the needs assessment conducted with teachers, students, parents, and staff : 1. Recognized that internet filtering limits the use of the internet for research. 2. Suggested Microsoft Office upgrade to current version. 3. Suggested improvement of malware protection for USB storage devices 4. Recommended improvement of electrical wiring in older buildings. 5. Recognized importance of continuous network and data security assessment. Fiscal Analysis/Budget Please see the Wythe County Public Schools Projected Technology Budget within the Technology Plan. As the data shows, funding for technology in Wythe County Schools is anticipated to stay level over the next three budget cycles, including the current budget. As we are forced to work with reduced technology budgets in the coming and budget cycles, it will be difficult to meet basic needs. Wythe County Public Schools Technology plan serves the dual purposes of promoting the vision of effective integration of technology into lifelong learning and of providing a road map to reach that vision. This plan will be made available through Wythe County Public School s web site: wythe.k12.va.us and ed to the various stakeholders on a timely basis. 5
6 Process A. Summary of connections to the division s mission and vision. Wythe County Public Schools Mission Statement The mission of the Wythe County Public Schools, in partnership with our entire community, is to ensure that each student is empowered with the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the challenges of the future. Wythe County Public Schools Technology Mission Statement Wythe County Public Schools acknowledges its responsibility to provide instructional programs and resources that support the integration of technology into lifelong learning. Wythe County students will be prepared with necessary skills and knowledge using current and emerging technologies to compete successfully in this technological age. Wythe County Public Schools recognizes that successful integration of technology into teaching and learning involves technology education not only for students, but for teachers, administrators, support staff and community members as well. Careful consideration of technology staffing, instructional programming, teaching and funding is necessary to sustain Wythe County s progress. How technology will be used: Because technology is an integral component of every aspect of today s society, Wythe County Public Schools is committed to promoting its integration throughout the curriculum. This technology plan will support the Goals and Objectives set forth in the Six-Year Educational Technology Plan for Virginia, the Standards of Learning for Virginia s public schools, the Wythe County Public Schools Six-Year Plan and Virginia s Technology Standards for Instructional Personnel. B. Summary of work of the planning committee and its benchmarks The Wythe County Technology Planning committee used several data collection methods and sources during the process of a local needs assessment. One method for gathering data for the needs assessment was a formal survey using Google Apps capabilities to conduct an online survey for teachers and students. (Please see attachment B.) Another method for gathering data for the needs assessment was to meet with the division superintendent s three advisory committees: Student Advisory, Teacher Advisory, and Parent Advisory. During these meetings, discussions on the technology needs of these individual groups were held in an informal and open format. The student committee of seven high school representatives expressed a need for the upgrade of Microsoft Office Software, better virus protection for USB drives and less strict internet access. The teacher committee of ten representatives from elementary, middle and high school levels expressed a wide range of needs, with the most prevalent needs existing for updated facilities (adequate electrical service), updated Microsoft Office application and wireless access in all buildings. The parent committee expressed satisfaction with the current technology use in Wythe County Public Schools. A final method for gathering data for the needs assessment was one that originated from the Wythe County Foundation for Excellence ( ). The Foundation provided an opportunity for each school in the division to apply for a $10,000 technology grant during the school year. The grant application required a school level technology needs assessment and statement for each applicant school. The information in these needs assessments has provided additional and invaluable input for our division technology plan. 6
7 C. Summary of the evaluation process and planned update cycle Wythe County Schools will include the following in the technology planning cycle to improve accountability and systemic aspects of technology planning for educational technology stakeholders: Accurate description of current technology resources and a technology needs assessment guided by the Educational Technology Plan for Virginia as well as a systematic plan for the timely assessment of progress made toward meeting both state and local planning objectives. Systematic plan for the evaluation of the effectiveness of technology implementation. Awareness of continuous staff development that builds upon and extends the Virginia Technology Standards for Instructional Personnel and includes ongoing evaluation of in-service activities that measure the impact of technology staff development on teaching and learning. WCPS will use the following strategies to revise and update Technology Plan as required by the Virginia Department of Education and other interested bodies. Provide continuous and meaningful evaluation of the implementation of the Technology Plan is necessary to provide feedback for adjustments to recommendations and updates to goal achievement. Complete and submit regular reporting documents to necessary agencies as required by federal and state grants. D. Conclusions from Needs Assessment Since the creation of the first Technology Plan for Wythe County Public Schools, many exciting advances have taken place in the implementation and application of technology in instruction and administration. Substantial financial assistance from Appropriations Acts, federal Goals 2000 grants and other grants has enabled Wythe County Public Schools to provide access to technologies for its students, teachers, staff, and community. All school libraries have automated information and management services. 100% of K-12 classrooms and offices now have 100m/bit local area network connections served by network fileservers in each building. In addition, all 13 local area networks are connected by means of a 1 gigabit fiber optic wide area network (WAN). This countywide network continues to grow in its use and benefit by providing Internet access, user support, communications and remote instruction to any location in the school system. Internet access, network security and filtering is provided by a single 65 megabit fiber optic connection for division. In the school year, the Virginia Department of Education provided local school divisions with funds to replace existing student data information systems. No additional state funds to support student data have been provided since that date. Local funding has been required to update and support the growing needs for all aspects of student data and records management. Student data continues to grow in its use and scope throughout the division. With no end in sight to the ever increasing demands for student data reports by the Virginia Department of Education and NCLB; student records maintenance and reporting has become a major unfunded requirement placed on local school divisions. Beginning in the fall of 2000, the Virginia Department of Education began the implementation of the Standards of Learning (SOL) Technology Initiative. This initiative s goal is to conduct Standards of Learning testing through computers connected to the Internet and to provide remediation and other resources. The first year of funding under this initiative focused on preparing all high schools across Virginia for online testing and remediation capability by the spring of Beginning in the fall of 2001, the SOL Technology Initiative s focus has been to equip middle schools 7
8 with the same capability. Currently Wythe County Public Schools administer the majority of SOL testing for third grade through end-of-course using the online method. Over 1,800 networked multimedia computers along with printers, LCD projectors, smart boards and digital cameras have been placed in libraries, classrooms, and labs. This infrastructure and equipment provides access to instructional tools combined with information and communications that is unprecedented in our school system. The continued fiscal support of technology in Wythe County Public Schools is demonstrated in the division budget which has increased in technology spending until the recession of The current budgeted amount for technology for fiscal year is over $1,200,000. This amounts to over 3% of our entire division budget for the year. To summarize the needs assessment conducted with teachers, students, parents, and staff: Recognized that internet filtering limits the use of the internet for research. Suggested Microsoft Office upgrade to current version. Suggested improvement of malware protection for USB storage devices Recommended improvement of electrical wiring in older buildings. Recognized importance of continuous network and data security assessment.
