2012-2013

Target Objective: 1.2 Promote a Strong Digital Learning Environment

District Focus: Teaching and Learning

Renee Smith-Faulkner

P PLAN: Identify the gap and the approachList Target Objective: Enable Teachers to Create Personalized Digital Learning Experiences for Students

Data Analysis: (What summative & formative data will be considered as you assess the impact, fidelity & completion of this goal?)

What work has been accomplished already to meet this goal? Training at ALT on “Blended Learning” Meeting with Curriculum Directors Adopted Math and Science Electronic Resources Infrastructure Upgrades Provided Technology Equipment (Netbooks) Provided Web portal for Teachers to Create Online Classrooms

What is insufficient with the current status or system? Technology equipment not utilized by students to fullest potential Staff technology proficiencies (Lack of transfer to student application) Little staff buy-in that digital tools improve student learning Teachers see student use of technology as an add on, afterthought, or event, and not seamlessly utilized in the core curriculum Not enough time to research, develop, and implement new digital tools into lesson plans Digital resources not available to students from home

What data points will be used to accomplish this goal? (measurable) Accessibility- Student to Digital Tools Access Ratio Utilization-Student Surveys, Teacher Surveys, Walkthroughs, Professional Development Portfolio, Lab Schedules, Network Report Student Experiences-Student Technology Product (Student Samples)

State the strategy that will be implemented to improve the gap(s): (measurable)


Accessibility-Improve the accessibility to technology for student use Increase netbook inventory Pilot a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program Apply for a grant that includes netbooks with Internet access from home Add netbooks for all 8th, 11th and 12th grade students Increase the usage of labs, library computers, and COWS Add wireless access points to high school

Utilization-Increase utilization of digital resources Conduct Walkthroughs indicating student use of technology observed Increase Internet access per student Increase lesson plans that include the use of technology in core curriculum

Personalized Learning Experiences-Increase teacher and student learning Provide staff development that addresses student use of technology (web 2.0) Collect Student Learning Experiences or Products Teachers required to upload 2 student samples per six weeks
