Nespelem School District Nespelem School Technology Plan 10/16/2008
District Technology Plan Nespelem School District 2007 - 2010 Technology Vision Statement: We live in a technological age that is rapidly developing and changing. Technology can improve communication, enhance thinking skills, make instruction more efficient and effective, and develop life skills critical to success. With access to and proficiency in the use of technology tools, and with the guidance of skilled educators and community members, all students have the opportunity to become actively engaged and take responsible roles in their learning as they think, create, conduct inquiries, solve problems and communicate in individual, collaborative and interdisciplinary settings. When students and faculty are provided with the latest technology tools and training, we envision that students will develop the necessary skills to be productive members of this developing and changing society. Therefore, Nespelem School District believes that technology provides a very powerful, essential tool in the education process for both students and staff. Nespelem School District is committed to providing ongoing and continuous training to all of its teachers and students in the use of and integration of technology as tools for teaching and learning in all subject areas. Action Plan: Goal: SMART Goal:
Technology Intergration Goal The total number of teachers ranked at Tier 1 or 2 on the PILOT Technology Integration Survey will increase by at least 5% per year compared to the previous year’s survey with a total increase of 15% by 2010.
Strategy:
All teachers will participate in professional development in the area of Technology Integration. The goal will be to provide teachers with skills and strategies that will allow them to use technology tools to teach the standards, to integrate technology into the curriculum and promote a student-learning environment that assists and encourages technological skills.
Rationale:
A variety of studies indicate that technology will have little effect unless teachers are adequately and appropriately trained (Office of Technology Assessment, 1995; Coley, Cradler, & Engel, 1997; Silverstein et al., 2000; Studies suggest that teachers who receive formal training use technology more frequently for instruction, and this use can lead to significant improvements in student achievement. According to a report by the National Center for Education Statistics (1999b), teachers who report feeling prepared to teach using technology use it more frequently and in a greater variety of ways, and are more likely to have their students use technology as a tool in tasks that require higher-order thinking. In a report that examined the results of over 300 studies of technology use, authors concluded that teacher training was the most significant factor influencing the effective use of educational technology to improve student achievement. Specifically, the report states that students of teachers with more than ten hours of training significantly outperformed students of teachers with five or fewer training hours (Sivin-Kachala & Bialo, 2000).
