The committee met as a whole and in subcommittees. Much planning had been done previously to create a technology plan that was still in effect. Along with the development of the EETT Technology plan, advice and comment was solicited from parents and community supporters. The plan was put onto the district website and public comment was solicited. The CTAP region 10 representative was of great assistance in the plan s development. In addition to the development committee, representatives from each of the school sites assisted in various information gathering tasks including completion of the CDE online Technology Survey (suspended 2008), site hardware inventories, and overseeing the completion of Project Tomorrow's Speakup 2011 survey by staff and students at their site. Several Community stakeholders have provided technology support to the students and teachers in our district. The Redlands Educational Partnership Foundation has provided thousands of dollars in grants to teachers for technology tools. Fundraising by district Parent, Teacher, and Student Associations (PTSA) provides ongoing support and equipment. Several community organizations such as The Boys and Girls Club, Redlands Community Center, area churches and local public libraries provide computer access and assistance to district students.

All elementary school, middle school, and high school classrooms, libraries, and administrative offices in RUSD are networked with high-speed Internet access. All teachers and students (including ELL, GATE, and Special Education) have access to computers during traditional school hours, in classrooms, labs and library media centers. Some elementary schools offer access during non-traditional hours, via before and after school programs and/or library hours. All middle and high schools offer access during non-traditional hours, via before and after school programs and library hours. All teachers have a teacher workstation with Internet access. Special Education students have access to a variety of adaptive and assistive technologies, according to their IEPs. In some cases, students take these assistive devices home each day to further their access. School Configurations: If a classroom only has one computer, it is used primarily by the teacher. Any additional computers are designated as student computers. There is no differentiation in the classroom column between teacher and student computers. No administrative computers are included in these totals. All secretaries, administrators and counselors have desktop computers.

Elementary teachers use computer labs and classroom computers to give students access to curriculum based software such as Accelerated Reader, Accelerated Math, English in a Flash, STAR Early Literacy. Various schools have additional curriculum based software available in the labs in the areas of math, reading and writing. All schools use STAR Reading, a reading assessment program, to evaluate and monitor reading skill development. Some classrooms are equipped with presentation systems and teachers use PowerPoint and the Internet to enhance student learning. Students in the upper grades conduct research using internet sources and create presentations with the resulting information. Most schools introduce typing skills and instruct upper grade students in the use of word processing software. Additionally, elementary school libraries are equipped with student workstations where students can search the library database or online resources. Technology instruction focuses on teaching basic technology and computer use skills through activities that reinforce state standards. Before and after school intervention programs utilize technology to help students work toward Basic and Proficient levels on state content standards testing in reading and math. Several elementary schools and middle schools are using Study Island, an online state standards practice program. At the middle school level, various computer courses are offered to students as electives. In the content areas, students are asked to create projects and complete assignments using various technologies. Teachers use technology (internet, multi-media presentations, etc.) to engage students and deliver academic content. Teachers utilize computer labs and library media centers during instructional time on a sign-up basis. New textbook adoptions in academic subjects have included content area software that is being used by science, math, social studies and English teachers. Remedial reading and math programs offered during the school day target low performing students and are enhanced by technology. Before and after school intervention programs utilize technology to help students work toward Basic and Proficient levels on state content standards testing in reading and math. Broadcasting classes allow students to develop their writing and presentation skills. Web page design classes teach students how to interact with html programming. ELL students learn English using specialized software in classroom mini-labs. Several sites K-12 use Fast ForWord reading training for at risk students. Middle and high school libraries are offering audio books on mp3 players for check out. On demand streaming video is provided at most middle schools. Most classrooms are equipped with presentation systems and are able to project computer content and on demand video. Teachers Redlands Unified July 1, June 30, 2015 Page 5

8 use technology to deliver content and enhance student learning with a variety of applications including teacher created PowerPoint presentations, online resources, and digital content produced by the textbooks publishers. Teachers incorporate content from ExamView to create standards-aligned assessments. A math initiative has resulted in the placement of MOBI tablets and student response systems in all Algebra I classrooms. Some additional classrooms are equipped with student response systems and interactive tablets. Most teachers are using Data Director to track common assessments and state test results. At the high schools, students learn computer skills (word processing, spreadsheets, databases, presentation software) in alignment with the site technology goals and objectives. Students use these skills throughout the curriculum to research, design, and publish documents and to prepare presentations that demonstrate clear questioning and creative research strategies. Most classrooms have presentation systems and are able to project computer content and on demand video. Teachers use technology to deliver content and enhance student learning with a variety of applications including teacher created PowerPoint presentations, online resources, technology enhanced tools such as probe ware, and programmable, graphing calculators. Several classrooms are equipped with Student Response systems and/or interactive whiteboards which are integrated with course standards. A math initiative has resulted in the placement of MOBI tablets and student response systems in all Algebra I classrooms. Teachers and students use content area software provided by textbook publishers and many textbooks are accessible either online or on CD. Broadcasting classes and web page design classes allow students to develop their writing, presentation, and html skills. Specialized technology classes are offered by ROP including CAD and GIS. Seniors create electronic portfolios with career research, resumes, and personal statements suitable for college applications. Redlands East Valley is using Turnitin.com, an anti-plagiarism site, as part of the writing improvement program. All three high schools and the continuation school are using NovaNet, Revolution Prep and/or Read180, online curriculum delivery programs for students who need to pass the High School Exit Exam, improve reading skills and those needing credit recovery. The ELL classrooms have mini labs with English language development software (Rosetta Stone). The high schools have LCD projectors in most classrooms and both use technology in the career centers to provide students with career education and college research opportunities. On-demand streaming video is provided at most sites. Multiple labs are available for class use and the Library/Media Centers offer access to the library catalog, subscription online databases and the internet to students before and after school as well as during class time. All teachers in RUSD have access to . Many elementary teachers and most middle and high school teachers use one of several electronic grading programs for student record keeping and assessment. All sites make the student information system available to teachers. District provides access to ABI the online student data system. Teachers take attendance online and may use the online grade book. The parent portal gives parents of students in grades 6-12 access to in-progress grades, attendance and transcripts. All sites are using Data Director, an online data analysis program which gives teachers access to disaggregated CST and District created formative assessment data. Elementary teachers use Data Director to produce report cards. The district also maintains a website that links to school web pages. The school web sites are hosted by School Fusion and provide an editable shell for school and classroom teachers to use. Sites include information and news about individual schools, staff lists with addresses, Redlands Unified July 1, June 30, 2015 Page 6

9 calendars, and pages for student activities and classes. Classroom pages allow file sharing, assignment calendars and class communications. 3c. Summary of the district's curricular goals that are supported by this tech plan. RUSD has adopted the California Content Standards for its curricular goals. The district has also placed a focus on K-12 literacy as well as the attainment and improvement of API scores district-wide. School Site Councils have developed the Single Plan for Student Achievement at each site, which incorporates curricular goals and outlines the infrastructure needed to support those goals. Special programs exist to insure all students pass the CAHSEE. RUSD technology goals grow out of our curricular goals and needs. The Governance Team priorities for Redlands Unified School District list the following goals which are directly addressed in this plan: Academic Achievement for All Students. Distribute comparative disaggregated data reports on K-12 Common Assessments, broken down by subgroups, comparing school to school and grade level to grade level throughout the District. Develop a two-year plan for familiarizing and implementing Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Develop ways to support school site leaders in effectively implementing a data driven culture through post-interim assessment activities Fiscal Responsibility and Well Managed Resources Opportunities for Every Student to Participate Fully. Research and pursue grant opportunities that will enhance college and career readiness programs and/or to improve high school graduation rates. Develop and implement a plan with specific staff development training topics using TOAs and consultants to provide voluntary training for site administrators in the areas of instructional strategies, EL, SES, and under-represented students. Continue focus on Math Curriculum and instructional strategies. Redlands Unified July 1, June 30, 2015 Page 7

24 4. Development 4a. Summary of teachers' and administrators' current technology skills and needs for professional development. Redlands Unified School District has been supporting new technology efforts with professional development opportunities for all administrators and teachers. The district continues to use a train-the-trainer model by offering training to a small group of teachers from each site that in turn provide training and support on site for the rest of the staff. Current and ongoing training exists for ABI, Data Director, and Odyssey credit recovery software. A math initiative allowed algebra teachers to participate in three days of training in the use of MOBI tablets and Interwrite student response systems in If the district acquires the funds for more MOBI tablets and student response systems, these algebra teachers will be able to provide assistance and support at their sites. As technology moves from school servers and hard drives to cloud-based services on the Internet, training for teachers will need to focus both on browser use and these cloud-based services. The train-the trainer model will allow teachers who participate in pilot programs using new technology to train and support other teachers at their sites. Many tutorials and webinars are available online. Teachers will complete the EdTech Profile survey to assess their current proficiency and future needs. Currently, all teachers in the district use for home-school and professional communication, most teachers are competent with Microsoft Office and online attendance and grade reporting. Many teachers use document cameras, projectors, interactive tablets and clickers with regularity. 4b.
