Instructional Technology Plan
During the 2016-17 school year, the principal, teachers, and parents worked together to create a comprehensive plan to integrate age-appropriate technology skills into classrooms at each grade level, Kindergarten to Sixth Grade. These skills, or student-based outcomes, were derived from the California Common Core State Standards and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Students.
Our Mission
A collaborative, nurturing community, Earl LeGette K-6 Elementary School inspires, challenges, and educates each student to excel in a dynamic world through a cutting-edge and engaging environment that fosters social/emotional well-being, creativity, digital citizenship, collaboration, develops character, ensures critical thinking, and ignites a lifelong passion for learning.
Philosophy of Educational Technology
We are committed to utilizing technology as a tool to improve learning, teaching and organizational effectiveness. Information and communication technologies are essential tools for consistent improvement of our curriculum, instructional methods and assessment in order to achieve academic excellence. Through the systematic integration of technology, our students will become:
- Empowered learners
- Digital citizens
- Knowledge constructors
- Innovative designers
- Computational thinkers
- Creative communicators
- Global collaborators
Our Instructional Technology Plan Will:
- Support and enhance powerful learning
- Provide guidelines for staff development and allocation of resources
- Provide a framework to monitor, adjust, document and formalize the integration of technology
- Be the catalyst to standardize school-wide use of technology into instructional and administrative programs
- Develop in learners a sense of interrelatedness of the world
Equipment and Software Distribution Plan
- Classrooms will have a minimum ratio of one computer for every three students
- Every classroom is assigned one teacher workstation computer
- Maximize access to computer-on-wheel (COW) units
- Fully support and utilize a Chrome-based lab
Staff Development Plan
Ongoing staff development is essential for the successful implementation of a technology plan. Our goal is to make staff and students self-sufficient users of technology including troubleshooting, basic upkeep and maintenance and learning new programs. To achieve this, we will implement the following:
- Site based technology classes will be offered as determined by staff needs
- Provide funding for conferences and workshops when possible
- Volunteer training
- New staff training
- Student training
Policies, Procedures and Protocols
To ensure the effective implementation of the technology by all involved we will follow all district policies, procedures and protocols as listed in the San Juan Unified School District Board Policy AR 0440.1(a).
Instructional Technology Standards
Earl LeGette Elementary School technology standards focus primarily on learning outcomes, which will drive equipment and software/apps distribution and professional development offerings. These standards are used to provide guidelines and data for making decisions.
