1. School technology team members will be trained to provide leadership and

technical training.

2. Staff members will be provided training in:

a. Introduction to networked systems

b. Using basic network software

c. Application software

d. Hardware /computer use

e. Troubleshooting and repair of computer systems

Implementation will occur as soon as practical on a systematic basis taking into

consideration current and future on-going district capital construction projects

and specific site conditions and will be provided out of district capital and

operating funds.

Goal 1 Have a structured, developmental program in technology which

continues to expand productivity for students and staff.

Goal 2 Provide personnel and technological tools to implement and

support the district program in technology based productivity.

Goal 3 Provide flexible programs using technology for specific student and

staff needs.

Teacher and Staff Training

This element of the infrastructure encompasses the necessary training of all

teachers and staff. The classroom teacher is the most important factor in the

full use of technology in the school. Therefore, the challenge of integrating

technology with learning can be met only by staff members who are trained in its

use. Daily use of technology in the classroom will not happen by accident; we

must empower teachers to facilitate student learning.

The issues and items to be considered here include coordinating and planning of

teacher training activities; training personnel; training individuals and

groups; easy access to support personnel; adequate resources, time,

encouragement, and incentives for staff training.

Staff Training Assessment

The effectiveness of our staff development training will be evaluated through:

1. Classroom observations

2. Questionnaires (both student and staff)

3. Student assessment testing

Accountability ultimately falls in the hands of the administrative personnel and

the school board members. They will look over the process put in place to make

sure we are keeping up with State and Federal standards and to ensure our

students have adequate technological opportunities.

As part of the review process. Staff training will be assessed every 6 months

at a minimum.
