Type your answers below (ie. minimum of 2-5 sentences per question as appropriate).
● What are the three main curriculum goals in your district’s technology plan?
○ Increase student engagement in the learning process through the use of easily
accessible innovative technologies.
○ Increase student engagement outside the classroom by providing students with 24/7
access to curriculum, instruction and assessment resources through a web-based
portal system.
○ Increase independent student learning that takes place outside the classroom by
providing greater access and use of technology for project-based learning.
● What strategies are outlined for achieving these goals?
○ Increasing or maintaining access to technology for System members
○ Establishing or maintaining equitable technology access for System members
○ Increasing parent involvement in student learning via technology
○ Providing technical support
○ Strategies, other than professional development, that promote researchbased
instructional practices, effective technology use in the classroom and/or technology
use targeted to CCGPS standards (policies, teacher evaluation procedures,
expectations, curriculum guide revisions to include technology, etc.)
○ Strategies that address innovative electronic delivery of specialized or rigorous
learning opportunities for staff and students
○ Especially Creative and/or cost-efficient strategies for maintaining high levels of
access, beyond-school access, equitable access and technical support
○ Creative ways of encouraging parent and community involvement that may model
best uses of technology
● Does the plan seem achievable over the designated timeline? Why?
○ According to the timeline, all these goals and strategies have been put in place on a
district level and will close out the end of this year. They’ve been on tract and from
my research, other schools have been implementing these strategies over the past
three years.
● In what ways would you like to see the plan improved?
○ Honestly, the plan looks really good. If I could improve it, I would update the tools
being used and possibly when to implement them.
● What could you, in your current or a future position, do to help support
implementation of the plan?
○ I could support implementation by following through the strategies put in place. Being
a guide to teachers and administration on how to effectively implement innovative
ideas can help build a strong foundation on how technology can work in my school. I
think there is so much my school can learn and implement and we can go a long way
if it is done correctly.
● How does the plan address the needs of diverse populations regarding digital
technology equity for low SES and gender groups (ie. females) and assistive
technology for disabled learners? If it does not, what are your recommendations?
○ The plan addresses the needs of diverse population by providing professional
development for teachers to be with students of low SES and assistive technology.
Several programs are mapped out for both teachers and students to help improve
learning for disabled learners.
● In what ways does the plan tie-in to your local SIP?
○ This plan does not tie-in much with my local SIP. What is tied-in is the amount of
professional development for teachers to learn new ways to support young learners
and implement findings for a brighter future. The plan shares similar goals with my
local SIP that will improve student data and how assessments are taken quarterly.
