1.2 Strategic Planning
Candidates facilitate the design, development, implementation, communication, and evaluation of technology-infused strategic plans. (PSC 1.2/ISTE 1b)
Artifact: ITEC 7410 SIP Tech Analysis
The artifact I am using to facilitate, develop, implement, communicate and evaluate technology infused strategic plans is the School Improvement Plan Technology (SIP) Analysis paper I created in ITEC 7410. The purpose of this artifact was to evaluate the current state of technology integration to support the student learning needs at Whitehead Road Elementary School. The SIP did not address technology directly, so in the analysis evaluates the indirect correlations between instructional practices and student assessment data.
This artifact supports the facilitation of a design and development of a set number of priorities to establish learning expectations at the site based on district wide incentives to support diverse learning needs through Illuminate Education technology assessment data in the area of literacy. The development of an analysis is the first step in understanding school and district expectations for technology infused strategies. The teacher facilitates the implementation of technology infused strategic plans by providing an overview of the SIP information based on student needs and assessment data. This analysis informs stakeholders of the important considerations prioritized at the district level. Knowledge of these priorities influences classroom instructional practice. The analysis supports the facilitation and communication of the various technology tools that indirectly assess student-learning needs for instructional design such as small group testing accommodation needs, student surveys created in Google Forms and the use of Google Classroom to provides students access with various information and content. This communication occurs between teachers and administrators. Finally, this artifact addresses the facilitation of evaluation of technology infused strategic plans by documenting the district level priorities for student growth in literacy and numeracy, social emotional and systems thinking to improve science structures.
After completing this artifact. I gained an in-depth understanding of how technology indirectly influences many instructional practices and the use of assessment data at Whitehead Road Elementary. Taking the time to digest and comprehend the SIP and apply an analysis of technology use to support learning needs of students required an understanding of the powerful impact technology has on school and district wide decisions.
The work and skills needed to create this artifact influences school improvement and faculty development because having an understanding of the SIP, means the teacher can make informed instructional decisions to support the various priorities at the school and district level. All teachers can benefit from knowing how to use technology directly or indirectly support the learners in their class while addressing the SIP.
