Summary
The practice: Community Relationships - School leaders must develop strategic community relationships that foster collaboration in planning, implementing, and assessing the use of technology in schools.
- 100% of parents participate in some family programs
- Parent involvement key to community support for technology facility
- School provides programs and technology access for greater community, including senior citizens
A successful parental involvement program that reduced disciplinary referrals and raised student test scores served as a springboard for technology innovation at Canfield Avenue School. With a focus on curricular goals and successful programs that included technology training for students, parents leveraged support for a technology overhaul for the school. Community members served on a technology advisory committee to develop a multi-year technology plan and then built support throughout the community for the school's initiatives. All members of the community now use the new community access center on evenings and during the summer for access to and training with technology.
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.
