Worksheet — Vision Statement

Vision Statement
 All districts complete this section of the district technology plan.
 If your district has a vision statement that includes the use of ICT (information and communication technologies), use it for your
technology plan. If not, write a statement — complementary to your district’s vision — that sets a bar for the integration of technology
into teaching and learning.

Students today enjoy the connectedness of social networking; it is part of their very being. Our goal is to bring instruction into
that cloud 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, and communicative skills required in their
futures.

The Nespelem School Mission Statement is “"To enable a child to be a thinking, caring, productive person using high academic
standards in a positive environment." Considering our mission statement and given that the purpose of education is to prepare
students to be productive and caring adults, we believe that technology is a necessary 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 an engaging, highly relevant, rigorous
curriculum — student-centered and focused 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

12/30/09 16:36 A12/P12
 To provide skills and proficiencies necessary for the workforce

We envision using technology to further a learning community where:

 Students are engaged in a challenging, highly relevant curriculum focused on inquiry-based, hands-on learning in which students
communicate, collaborate, and create communities with educators, parents, and other students, exhibiting higher order thinking and
demonstrating knowledge. Students are comfortable using technology. Students take responsibility for their own educational success.
 Teachers use technology to support, differentiate, and communicate learning across the curriculum. They apply meaningful assessment
data gathered with technology to guide instruction in order to present students with a challenging curriculum designed to help each
individual student develop a depth of understanding and critical thinking skills. 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 a challenging and interdisciplinary curriculum, which addresses students' specific needs, developmental
levels and learning styles, providing frequent communication of classroom activities to families. Teachers use technology for
meaningful assessment data that informs their practice and allows students to exhibit higher order thinking and to demonstrate
knowledge.
 Teachers and Program Facilitators use and facilitate student use of technology to communicate, collaborate, and create communities
with educators, parents, students, and additional stakeholders.
 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.
 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 curriculum goals.
Therefore, Nespelem School District’s Technology Plan demonstrates a commitment to increasing technology in each classroom and to
providing ongoing and continuous training to all of its staff 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, provides meaningful assessment data, and empowers instruction and learning.

Worksheet —Technology Goals

Technology Goal — Technology Literacy of 8th-Grade Students

The total number of Grade 8 Students ranked at Tier 1 on the PILOT Technology Literacy Survey will increase by at least 5% per year
compared to the previous year’s survey with a total increase of 15% by 2013. The total number of teachers ranked at Tier 2 on the PILOT
Technology Integration Survey will increase by at least 5% per year compared to the previous year’s survey with a total increase of 15% by
2013.

Strategy
Computers will be used in the classroom so students are engaged in a challenging, highly relevant curriculum focused on inquiry-based,
hands-on learning in which students communicate, collaborate, and create communities with educators, parents, and other students,
exhibiting higher order thinking and demonstrating knowledge. The computer lab and library media center will augment the opportunities for
students to incorporate suitable technology to engage in active participation, exploration, and research.
Rationale
In a report that examined the results of over 300 studies of technology use, authors concluded the need for more than one computer for
students in the classroom: “Furthermore, classroom connectivity in general and, more specifically, connectivity with four or more computers
were found to be important factors in predicting whether teachers directed student research involving the Internet.” (Sivin-Kachala & Bialo,
2000) Kelley, L., & Ringstaff, C. (2002). Finally, computers in the classroom resulted in the best learning improvement: “The results from this
program indicate that student outcomes are most improved by the distributed model. Students who had access to computers in their
classrooms showed more improvement in basic skills than those who received instruction in computer labs. In addition, teachers who had
computers in the classroom reported greater confidence and competence in using computers and more time using the computers (Mann,
1999; Mannet al., 1999). “The learning return on our educational technology investment: A review of findings from research. Retrieved from
WestEd Web site: http://www.WestEd.org/online_pubs/learning_return.pdf

Evaluation Procedure
Each year grade eight students will complete the PILOT Technology Integration Survey to demonstrate progress from Tier 1 to Tier 2, and
from Tier 2 to Tier 3 as a result of increased application of technology to apply knowledge in real world contexts to create, collaborate, and
communicate in learning communities to exhibit higher order thinking and to demonstrate knowledge.

Worksheet —Technology Goals

Technology Goal — Technology Integration Skills of Teachers

Technology Goals Note: these goals will change depending on our PILOT surveys
Goal:
The total number of teachers ranked at Tier 1 on the PILOT Technology Integration Survey will increase by at least 5% per year compared to
the previous year’s survey with a total increase of 30% by 2013. The total number of teachers ranked at Tier 2 on the PILOT Technology
Integration Survey will increase by at least 5% per year compared to the previous year’s survey with a total increase of 15% by 2013.

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 technology into the curriculum, to promote a
student-centered environment that assists and encourages technological skills, to use assessment 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 itself becomes a transparent and integral
tool to teach core curriculum. Technology & Curriculum Integration (http://www.guide2digitallearning.com/integration)
Digital Learning Environments A variety of studies indicate that technology 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 this 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 their 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 technology use, authors
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 need for more than one computer for students in the classroom: “Furthermore, classroom connectivity in general and, more
specifically, connectivity with four 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

WestEd Web site: http://www.WestEd.org/online_pubs/learning_return.pdf

Evaluation Procedure
Each year all staff (Teachers, Librarian-Teachers, Administration) will complete in the PILOT Technology Integration Survey to demonstrate
progress from Tier 1 to Tier 2, and from Tier 2 to Tier 3. In addition, we will reflect each semester on the Key Question: “What are you doing
or teaching right now that you could do more effectively and efficiently with technology? Start with the end in mind” in our Online Teacher
Professional Development Repository, which will serve as a record and resource in the application of productivity, curricular, and instructional
strategies and results for other staff members to try. Analysis of Professional Development Evaluations will determine further needs in
Professional Development. Data will be analyzed for student improvement in NWEA/MAP scores.

Technology Plan
All districts complete this section of the district technology plan.

Narrative

Write a high-level overview that explains how the building(s) in your district are addressing the need to integrate technology into teaching
and learning, as part of their school improvement plan(s).

"To enable a child to be a thinking, caring, productive person using high

The Nespelem School Mission Statement is
academic standards in a positive environment." Considering our mission statement and given that the purpose of
education is to prepare students to be productive and caring adults, we begin the journey to adapt technology as a necessary tool for
learning that expands our instructional repertoire and becomes the vehicle that maximizes the capacity of all teachers and learners to meet
the goals of our schoolwide plan, which include:
 Continuous improvement in all student learning by using data to determine student needs and adjust instruction through collaboration
by staff to provide an engaging, highly relevant, rigorous curriculum with continuous intervention and supplemental programs,
especially in math;
 Provide a focus on professional staff development with the use of waiver days for collaboration, data analysis, and planning
interventions;
 Ensure student readiness for joining the technological society in which they must function by providing access to and use of up-to-date
technology to meet the learning needs of all students, including use of technology to support learning and as intervention or learning
accelerator;
 Establish partnerships to foster and encourage student learning through a school website with information, activities, family access to
teachers, student achievement, events, and weekly letters home from classes to families;
In order to meet these goals and implement the school-wide plan, Nespelem School District will begin the process of moving to classroom-
centered technology:
 Teachers will apply for classroom technology by explaining: What are you doing or teaching right now that you could do more
effectively and efficiently with technology?
 The technology tool goals are two-fold:
o Teacher tools for instruction (computers, projectors , document cameras)
o Student tools for technology integration: 1:4 student to computer ratio or better
 Use of technology will be accelerated with bi-monthly Professional Development Sessions that allow teachers to:
o Learn how to improve student learning through project/inquiry based curricula

12 of 24 2010-2013 Nespelem School District #14 Technology Planning

12/30/09 16:36 A12/P12
o Provide application sessions in teacher use of technology for projects, productivity, and presentations.
o Develop technology plans aligned to standards to improve student learning through project/inquiry based curricula
o Create a repository of teacher-created technology plans for other staff to try
 Teachers increase productivity by using technology tools such as wikis, blogs, and Google Apps and math curriculum computer
programs and online textbooks for
o collaborating with each other for curriculum and data analysis
o communicating strategies and lessons through blogs/wikis/Google docs
o designing interventions for student improvement based on assessment data
o providing students and families with math strategies and lessons
o differentiating instruction to meet student needs,
o and developing weekly newsletters/blogs for parents.
 Students actively engage in challenging inquiry and project based curriculum, taking ownership of their learning by planning, self-
assessing, producing, and sharing their learning as they communicate, collaborate, and create communities with educators, parents,
and other students, exhibiting higher order thinking and demonstrating knowledge. Students incorporate suitable technology to engage
in active participation, exploration, and research in all content areas, especially math

Overall, by focusing on our school-wide plan to improve student learning especially in the area of math, our process for planning professional
development, adding technology in classrooms, and developing a challenging curriculum, we will meet the goals for integrating technology:
 Educators use technology to enhance and differentiate instruction in order to present students with a challenging curriculum designed
to help each individual student develop a depth of understanding and critical thinking skills.
 Educators use technology for meaningful assessment data that informs their practice and allows students to exhibit higher order
thinking and to demonstrate knowledge.
 Educators use and facilitate student use of technology to communicate, collaborate, and create communities with educators, parents,
students, and additional stakeholders.
