Education Week
Curriculum Alignment/Monitoring
• Be familiar with the State Curricular Standards• Determine the alignment between state and local
starndards• Understand the importance of curriculum alignment• Determine how curriculum standards are used to
determine progress in selecting or developing assessments and to identify needs
• Determine that multiple assessments used for accreditation are aligned with the curriculum
• Understand role of the principal and teacher in monitoring the curriculum
3 Contributing Elements of Classroom Life: Curriculum, Assessment, and Instruction
• Bottom line: Be able to instructionally align assessment so it can truly be an effective measure in order to achieve optimal student performance.

Instructional Technology Planning
• Align with Vision
• Align with Curriculum
• Align with School Improvement
• Align with Staff Development
• Align the acquisition of hardware and software
Exemplary Teachers...
• Use computers for many purposes
• Use computers to accomplish a task
• Work collaboratively
• Take charge of their own learning
• Have high expectations for students
• See a link between technology and district/state standards
What is Technology Integration?• Understanding
how technologies should be applied to achieve educational objectives
Curriculum Integration Using Technology
(How Do You Do It?)
• Choose Core Content• One Unit or Lesson to
Enhance with Technology
• Decide on Technology to Achieve Goals
• Create Integrated Activity with Assessment Standards/ Rubric
• Implement• Assess/Evaluate• Refine
Educational ContentEx:6th Grade Curriculum

Ex: Project
Research the main causes of food poisoning. In graph form state causes, number of outbreaks,
percentage of total. Analyzing the data, determine the best explanation
for the information.
Implementing Multimedia Projects--DDD-E Model
(Ivers & Barron, 98)
• DECIDE phase: Assign groups, brainstorm, and research the content
• DESIGN phase: Determine the program structure and detail the content
• DEVELOP phase: Gather and create the media elements, author the program, review, and debug
• EVALUATE phase: Evaluate the project
Assessment Rubric for Project: Integrated Instructional Lesson

Instructional Technology Planning
• As the development and alignment of standards, educational objectives, curriculum and assessments evolve, technology use must be modified to support these goals.
Technology Uses
• Level 1: Literacy Uses (Goal 25%)– Subject of instruction, keyboarding, PowerPoint,
scheduled in a lab, classes such as Computer Application
• Level 2: Integrated uses (Goal 10%)– Initiated by teachers, support traditional tasks and
assessments, drill and practice, ILS, word processing, instructional games and productivity tools (If we took the technology out of the room the same thing could occur)
Technology Uses
• Level 3: Transformative uses (Goal 65%)– Innovative learning tasks, focus on developing
process skills, transfer of learning occurs, initiated by students and teachers (If you took technology away we can’t do these things without it).
Adapted from Ian Jukes work
What impacts learning most is how students, teachers, and administrators use technology in the school on a daily basis.
Where we stand today...
Both district and school-based planning teams determine how technology is best suited to support improved student achievement (including prioritization of spending).
Continuous School Improvement Strategies
1. Define educational objectives and desired results for students
2. Link assessments/measurements to those objectives
3. Create a plan to achieve them and implement4. Document results and analyze the results5. Evaluate the technology’s effectiveness against
ISTE’s NET standards6. Evaluate results-based staff development efforts
What will education be like for the class of 2014?
…Are you providing the building blocks for “World Class Kids”in
the 21st Century?
