Summary
The practice: Planning - School leaders must play a central role in the cyclical development, assessment, implementation, and revision of school technology plans.
- Technology plan involved entire community
- Community support raised $4 million for technology facility
- Family involvement has made Canfield a community center for technology access
Canfield Avenue School built upon a successful family involvement program to provide greater access to state-of-the art technology and training for all members of the community. A multi-year technology plan involved parents, teachers, administrators, and members of the community. A needs assessment helped establish goals and the technology advisory committee members served as educators and ambassadors throughout the district and to the board of education. Voters passed a $4 million referendum that resulted in a completely networked school that also provides access and training for community members.
This site also exemplifies the following practice(s):
- Community Relationships - School leaders must develop strategic community relationships that foster collaboration in planning, implementing, and assessing the use of technology in schools.
