Personalized Learning and School Device Rollout
Rob Anderson, Ed.D.Deputy Superintendent of AcademicsSeptember 2015 Board Retreat
Goals For Today
• Explain how personalized learning aligns with current district priorities
• Provide an update on where we are with the rollout of student devices
• Answer any questions and identify areas of support for Board Members in this process

Personalized Learning and Device Rollout
• Critical Component of the Strategic Plan– Strategic Initiative #1: Continuous
Achievement and Customized Learning – Strategic Initiative #7: Student Access– Strategic Initiative #11: Challenging
and Innovative Instruction
3
Low Tech Classroom• Technology is either
not available or consistently used to enhance teaching and learning
High Tech Classroom• Classroom has
technology tools including interactive projectors
• All students have access to a device
• Teachers and students have access to digital content and software applications
Blended Classroom• Technology
empowered instruction allows teachers to differentiate instruction more efficiently and effectively
• Supports Continuous Achievement framework
Competency Based Classroom• Students are assessed
on proof of mastery of standards
• Students are able to accelerate or decelerate depending on progress
• Students have more choice in how to demonstrate mastery of standards
• Truth in grading across the district through Proficiency Scales

As a district, where are we in the process?
In December 2014 schools selected which group they would participate in based on their state of readiness.

Overall Readiness
Instruction Infrastructure Device
Infrastructure Readiness:School infrastructure is upgraded and ready to handle 1:1 student devices
Device Readiness:Schools have selected a device and have a deployment plan set with IT.

What does it mean to be ready?
Instructional Readiness:Schools have a plan for how devices will be used to support learning
School Instructional Readiness
Readiness = schools have a plan for how devices will be used to support learning.
• School teams go through a series of workshops to design their instructional, professional development, and communication plans.
• Plans include proper pace and cadence for successful rollout with on-going support for teachers to ensure success
• Schools create a digital citizenship plan to teach students appropriate, responsible technology use.

What each school goes through to get ready

Listening Tour
•Ed Elements visits each school to understand where they areand what their needs are.
Simulation
•School planning teams go through a 2 hour simulation to understand personalized and blended learning.
Design Workshop
1.0
•Schools use design thinking to identify what problem they're tryingto solve and begin to sketch our possible personalized learningmodels to address that problem.
Design Workshop
2.0
•Schools work on their instructional model and begin to think about professional development and communications plans.
PLAcademy
•Schools finalize their instructional plan, and finish drafts of professional development and communications plans.
Device Selection
•When school instructional, PD, and communication plans are approvedthey test the 4 devices in the marketplace. SGCs approve the selection.
Launch!
•Schools implement their communications and PD plans, and phase ininstructional shifts and devices at their own pace. Then iterate, iterate, iterate!

Group 1 is here
Schools work with Education Elements, a consultant that leads them through a design process for personalized learning. They also have an instructional technology coach from KSU embedded at the school one day/week for a year.
School Infrastructure ReadinessReadiness = school infrastructure is upgraded and ready to handle 1:1 student devices.
• School bandwidth is upgraded• “Heat map” of current school wireless coverage is reviewed• Wireless access points are added and tuned
9
Device ReadinessReadiness = schools have selected a device and have a deployment plan set with IT.• School device selection committee (students, teachers, parents,
administration) chooses the device that best fits the school instructional plan. School Governance Council votes to approve.
• Schools work with Safety & Security to plan for how to secure devices at the school.
• School agrees on delivery timeline with IT and device vendor.• Devices are ordered!
