Worksheet Vision Statement

Vision Statement

Students today enjoy the connectedness of social networking; it is part of their very being. Our goal is to bring instruction into thatcloud as an educational network to teach the content required in ways that inspire online responsibility and ethics in this new, very

connected world so that students develop the collaborative, participatory, communicative skills required in their futures.

Given that the purpose of education is to prepare students to be productive and caring adults, we believe that technology is anecessary tool for learning that expands our instructional repertoire and is the vehicle that maximizes the capacity of all teachers and learners. It is

the vision of Nespelem School District that students be engaged in a stimulating academic environment and a challenging curriculum student-

centered and focused on inquiry-based learning.

Specifically, we envision that technology is available and effectively supported for all students and staff in all classrooms:

To provide global access to information To meet the curricular needs of all learners To provide access to the general curriculum To refine critical thinking skills and stimulate creativity To provide a medium for expression and communication To create, connect, and collaborate as responsible and ethical online citizens To collect, assess and share performance information To interpret assessment data to drive instruction so all students learn and progress in meeting and exceeding standards To improve the effectiveness of administrative tasks To provide skills and proficiencies necessary for the workforce

We envision using technology to further a learning community where:n Students are engaged in a challenging curriculum focused on inquiry-based, hands-on learning. Students are comfortable using technology.

Students take responsibility for their own educational success.

n Teachers use technology to support all learning across the curriculum. They function as coaches, mentors, advocates, and managers of

information. Through ongoing, comprehensive professional development, all teachers acquire the knowledge and skills to integrate technology into

challenging and interdisciplinary curriculum, whichaddresses students' specific needs, developmental levels and learning styles.

n Administrative functions, including those performed by instructional staff, are fully automated, thereby allowing more of the school system's

energy and resources to be focused on student education.

n The schools become an environment where all students and staff have ready access to a full range of current technology, software tools, and

applications. The schools have knowledgeable staff and external resources such as parents, community members, and business, higher education

and network resources to further the curriculumgoals.

Therefore, Nespelem School Districts Technology Plan demonstrates a commitment to increasing technology in each classroom and to providing

ongoing and continuous training to all of its teachers and students in the use of and integration of technology as the necessary tools for teaching,

learning, and collaborating in all subject areas and for lifelong learning; technology is an essential element that brings about greater productivity and

empowers instruction and learning.

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 technolinto the curriculum, to promote a student-learning environment that assists and encourages technological skills, to useassessment data to drive instruction, and to access productivity tools for class data management, for communication with

students, staff, and community, and for collaboration on curricular and instructional goals.

Rationale:The goal of technology integration is to use technology seamlessly so that the technology itselfbecomes a transparent and integral toolto teach corecurriculum. Technology & Curriculum Integration, Digital Learning Environments A variety of studies indicate thattechnology 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

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

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 technologauthors 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). Kelley, L., & Ringstaff, C. (2002). In addition the report demonstrates the n

for more than one computer for students in the classroom: Furthermore, classroom connectivity in general and, more specifically, connectivity with

or more computers were found to be important factors in predicting whether teachers directed student research involving the Internet. Finally,

computers in the classroom resulted in the best learning improvement: The results from this program indicate that student outcomes are most im

by the distributed model. Students who had access to computers in their classrooms showed more improvement in basic skills than those who recei

instruction in computer labs. In addition, teachers who had computers in the classroom reported greater confidence and competence in using comp

and more time using the computers (Mann, 1999; Mannet al., 1999). The learning return on our educational technology investment: A review of fi
