Summary
The practice: Support - School leaders must ensure that a technical and pedagogical support system exists that facilitates the use and maintenance of technology in their schools.
- Tech committee and Tech Resource Teacher provide pedagogical support to teachers
- Tech goals and standards are embedded in curriculum
Deer Park supports its teachers by providing age-appropriate software and human resources to help teachers develop lesson plans that effectively integrate technology. A Technology Resource Teacher and technology committee meet with grade-level teams to determine curricular goals. Students learn the functions and capabilities of databases and spreadsheets during activities that focus on meeting curricular goals. Teacher research projects document technology-supported teaching and learning strategies that help adapt and develop future projects.
This site also exemplifies the following practice(s):
- Planning - School leaders must play a central role in the cyclical development, assessment, implementation, and revision of school technology plans.
- Access - School leaders must ensure equitable access to current hardware, software, and connectivity that supports instructional goals.
