4 SECTION 2: INTRODUCTORY MATERIAL Introduction This Strategic Long-Range Technology Plan and Integrated Technology Curriculum is critical because it: 1. Outlines the programs and equipment we have and will strive to implement to enhance and improve student learning. 2. Provides a plan that organizes and identifies specific knowledge to be learned and applied by students and incorporates training and resources for students and staff. Members of the District Technology Committee revised East Detroit Public Schools Strategic Long-Range Plan. These members have worked diligently to align the curriculum with the Michigan Educational Technology Standards and ISTE standards to support student use of technology to improve learning in both the general education and special education classrooms. Attached to this plan is our district s special education assistive technology plan whose purpose is to ensure equal access to assistive technology devices and services so that every student in need of assistive technology can achieve educational success.

7 SECTION 3: TECHNOLOGY VISION AND GOALS Introduction At the inception of this original plan, a set of belief statements about technology was developed and was used as the foundation to develop this comprehensive strategic long-range plan and integrated curriculum. At each formal review cycle of our technology plan, these statements are reviewed to determine if they continue to reflect the thoughts, opinions, and principles of our school community. Modifications are then made to incorporate any revised guiding beliefs/principles. Our foundational technology beliefs have been divided into the following groups: 131 GENERAL BELIEFS ABOUT TECHNOLOGY We believe the use of technology enhances and enriches the educational experience of all members of the school community. to remain competitive in our global society, it is critical for the entire school community to learn and apply current and appropriate technologies. access to technology provides equity. successful use of technology increases marketability and self-confidence. technology enhances communication throughout the community. technology opens the doors to exploration of the world. technology impacts our lives and changes society. INSTRUCTION AND CURRICULUM BELIEFS ABOUT TECHNOLOGY We believe: students and staff will use technology safely, responsibly, and effectively. appropriate technology will be effectively integrated into the instructional process throughout all curricular areas. all students will be instructed in the use of age-appropriate technologies in all areas of the curriculum. all members of the educational community will adhere to technology related legal and ethical policies. staff will model the appropriate use of technology. technology promotes independent learning, critical thinking and communication skills. technology enhances creativity. staff development is critical and will be embedded and ongoing. technology extends the abilities of each individual and assists in reaching his/her potential. technology increases motivation for learning. 7
8 OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT BELIEFS ABOUT TECHNOLOGY We believe technology infrastructure, hardware, and software will be maintained, assessed, upgraded, and continuously funded. all technology related equipment and software will be secure. specialized resources should be shared, not duplicated, whenever feasible. where appropriate, hardware and software purchases should accommodate a variety of operating systems. school district technology should be accessible to members of the community. the district should showcase available technologies to members of the community. 132 Vision We believe that technology is a valuable educational tool, one which can enhance student learning at all levels and expand the scope of the curriculum in many innovative ways. We further believe the understanding of, and access to, technology is vital in the educational plan for all students. Students must be given the opportunity to learn competencies in using technology as a tool for gathering, using and manipulating information, as well as for communication and creative expression. Students also must understand the impact of technology upon society and accept the responsibilities associated with living in today s digital world. Goals The foundational technology goal as outlined in the district s strategic plan is to: Integrate and support the seamless use of current and future technologies throughout the school district to improve student learning and operational efficiencies. Curriculum: We will continue to support the integration of technology throughout the curriculum to improve student learning including updating media centers to be more relevant and engaging for all users (EDPS Strategic Plan Technology Focus Area Objective 2 and 4) 8
9 Professional Development: We will provide ongoing, job embedded professional development that incorporates the effective use of available technology to support the instructional and management processes of the district. (EDPS Strategic Plan Technology Focus Area Objective 1) Infrastructure: We will continue to identify and implement cost-effective, performance-enhancing infrastructure improvements including emerging technologies. (EDPS Strategic Plan Technology Focus Area Objective 3) Funding and Budget: We will use general funds, grant funds and continually seek other funding sources for hardware and software maintenance and improvements. Monitoring and Evaluation: We will use a variety of data-gathering tools to evaluate the impact of technology on teaching and learning. 133 By using technology to achieve the outcomes in Michigan Content Expectations and Common Core State Standards (CCSS) as well as Michigan Educational Technology Standards and Benchmarks (METS), students will be able to: 1. Use and transfer technological knowledge and skills for life roles (family member, citizen, worker, consumer). 2. Use technologies to retrieve, organize, manipulate, evaluate and communicate information. 3. Apply appropriate technologies to critical thinking, creative expression and decision-making skills. 4. Employ a systematic approach to technological solutions by using resources and processes to create, maintain and improve products, systems and environments. 5. Apply ethical and legal standards in planning, using and evaluating technology. 6. Evaluate the societal and environmental impacts of technology and forecast alternative uses and possible consequences to make informed civic, social and economic decisions. 9
10 I. CURRICULUM
11 SECTION 4: CURRICULUM INTEGRATION Curriculum Integration In our continued efforts to provide enhanced learning opportunities for students and staff, we will be building a district-wide wireless infrastructure. This will provide the foundation for integration of mobile devices for both instructional and management purposes, reducing constraints on accessibility to technology and borderless learning across the entire campus. (2013) In addition, we are upgrading our network infrastructure backbone to 10GB between closets. With the addition of the wireless infrastructure, the potential of adding in many more clients that will generate additional traffic on the network will be controlled. This upgrade will also allow students and staff increased usage of video streaming, large multi-media files, enable faster file copying and ability to support larger file sizes. (2013) 135 East Detroit Public Schools has adopted the Michigan Educational Technology Standards (METS) as our guide for technology integration throughout the curricular areas. The Technology Curriculum Committee is a subgroup of the District Technology Committee and meets to review, evaluate and update technology curriculum goals as needs are identified. In order to develop projects that teachers can use to teach the concepts outlined in the technology curriculum, the District Technology Committee will work with curriculum leaders and school improvement team members to identify district academic deficit areas. Specific projects will be developed that not only address the technology knowledge and skills students should possess to be successful, but will also address deficit curricular concepts that have been identified through district and school improvement processes. The Integrated Technology Curriculum that is outlined in the following sections: Elementary, Middle School and High School, the district included as part of the May 2009 bond program a major classroom improvement technology initiative to ensure integration of technology into the teaching and learning process. All core curriculum classrooms and media centers have access to a computer, interactive whiteboard, document camera, sound amplification system, ceiling mounted video projector and printing capabilities. The timeline for the technology integration into curricula and instruction is an ongoing process. The school improvement plans (SIP) for all buildings include technology integration strategies and activities, including professional development, aligned to the student needs as discerned through analysis of achievement data. 11
