Today’s Objectives Technology planning to meet the 2009

DESE criteria Technology Plan writing through ePeGS

Key Points A district technology plan should focus on integrating technology

into the teaching and learning process to transform the way teachers teach and students learn.

At the very least, the technology plan should be embedded in or supplement the district’s comprehensive school improvement plan.

A planning committee is critical to the success of any technology plan. The committee should include expertise in planning, building a vision, needs assessment, curriculum and instruction, evaluation, goal setting, professional development, technology hardware, support and integration, media/marketing, and financial planning.  

1. Student Learning (includes technology skills) 2. Teacher Preparation and Delivery of Instruction 3. Administration / Data Management /

Communication Processes 4. Resource Distribution and Use 5. Technical Support

Cover Sheet

Changes – from the 2006 process Filed online through ePeGS – hardcopy-

printout maybe required to DESE Mission Statement – will be District through

ePeGS Needs – will be district through ePeGS Technology Committee – not entered CURRENT STATUS – COMPILING RAW

DATA – Not Required

Changes – from the 2006 process Goals – now provided through ePeGS COMMUNICATION / DISSEMINATION,

MONITORING, AND EVALUATION – not a part of ePeGS except for the evaluation process which will be “additional elements”

Technology Committee Still need to have and document (possible

DESE or MSIP review item) Divide up the work; assign TFA’s Still need to conduct needs assessments to

determine what your district needs

ePeGS Goals A Comprehensive School Improvement Plan

(CSIP) that covers the needs of all programs A grant application system that is tied to the CSIP

plan A cohesive place where grants can be planned

and applied for together from multiple sources A system that reduces the need for programmer

intervention to establish a new grant or plan

ePeGS Goals

Objectives Objective – a statement that describes the specific,

measurable results to be achieved by whom, by when and by how much or to what degree. Objectives, like goals, must be measurable and must relate to student performance but they must also specify a final target and when that target is to be met. Objectives are generally more discrete than goals, indicating the specific target population requiring improvement. Objectives should relate to and support a district goal.

Examples: Goal: The district’s graduation rate will increase to 90.0%. Objective: The graduation rate for students with disabilities

will increase to 90.0% by 2009.

DESE Sample Tech Objectives

Activities: Now called Strategies Activities - the discrete and measurable

strategies or interventions that specify how the objective will be accomplished.

Examples Goal: The district’s graduation rate will increase to

90.0%. Objective: The graduation rate for students with

disabilities will increase to 90.0% by 2009 Activity: Develop and implement a work

experience program for nurse’s aide.

Action Step Action Step – the major steps required to implement the

activity. Examples: Goal: The district’s graduation rate will increase to 90.0%. Objective: The graduation rate for students with disabilities

will increase to 90.0%.by 2009 Activity: Develop and implement a work experience program

for nurse’s aide. Action Step: Contact the local hospital to meet and discuss

nurse’s aide program options.
