Vision
Stakeholders, community members, administrators, and staff will invest in the implementation of technology in order to allow all students to be emerging leaders and provide them with 21st century skills needed to be successful. Students will be guided in the appropriate uses of technology as well as take responsibility for their learning with the use of technology in the classroom and have a positive impact on education.
Therefore, the first step in the implementation process would be to conduct professional learning for the administrator. As an administrator implementing technology, professional development will be of the utmost importance. Numerous opportunities must be mandated for staff to understand, use, troubleshoot, and coordinate technology into the classroom. Professional development needs to be encouraged and teachers should have a voice in the professional development they would like to participate in. By doing this, administrators are creating an environment where teachers feel they are making decisions that better suit their teaching style. This in turn builds trust and accountability amongst the school. Additionally, the data team will work collaboratively to determine staff feelings, resources, and needs regarding technology and professional development. This process will give the school a common goal: the use of technology to enhance learning and improve student achievement.
The technology coach must assist teachers in the creation of learning experiences in which are suited to each students needs and learning style while promoting rigor and relevance. As a teacher, digital equity must be present in the classroom. Teachers must present all students with technology that meets their learning needs regardless of economic status, language barriers, and other handicaps.
