  1. IMPACT Integrated Media and Technology Program with an Emphasis on Student Achievement

  2. What is the IMPACT Model… • provides guidelines for school library media coordinators and technology facilitators. • reflects national, state and professional standards. • provides a step-by-step guide to becoming an IMPACT school. • provides recommendations for programs, personnel, budgets, resources, and facilities.

  3. The IMPACT Model Building upon these points media and technology programs will: • IMPACT teaching, • IMPACT learning, • IMPACT motivation, and • IMPACT student achievement.

  4. Why IMPACT? “...when a library media specialist spends more time in collaboration and leadership activities, student academic achievement is positively impacted.” (Library Research Service 2001,http://www.lrs.org/documents/fastfacts/174lmcstaff.pdf )

  5. Why IMPACT? The use of technology as a learning tool can make a significant difference in student achievement as measured by standardized tests. (Mann et al., 1999)

  6. Impact Components • Personnel • Hardware • Resources • Connectivity • Professional Development • Evaluation

  7. Implementing Impact: A Change in School Culture • Full-time media coordinator • Full-time technology facilitator • Collaborative planning time with the media coordinator and technology facilitator • Flexible scheduling of the media center and the computer lab • Project-based learning • Evaluation by teachers, the media coordinator, and the technology facilitator • Sharing/Celebrating

  8. Implementing the IMPACT Model • Phase 1: Building Support • Phase 2: Readiness Assessment • Phase 3: Setting the Stage for Successful Collaboration • Phase 4: Formal Collaboration • Phase 5: Beyond the Classroom

  9. Orientation for New Staff and Administrators • The school needs to recruit and hire teachers who support the IMPACT Model. • The MTAC should provide support and training for new staff and administrators.

  10. Readiness Assessment • Review IMPACT Guidelines, NC Educational Technology Plan, and the district’s technology plan to determine additional personnel. • Conduct a needs assessment of the staff to determine readiness. • Evaluate the media collection, the media schedule, infrastructure, hardware and software access, and the budget’s capacity to fund needs identified in the needs assessment. • Using the IMPACT Rubrics, the MTAC should conduct a benchmark assessment of the media and technology program. http://www.ncwiseowl.org/impact/admin/rubric.pdf

  11. Implementation of Flexible Access • Stage 1: • Media and technology professionals meet occasionally with classroom teachers to plan collaboratively • Combination of fixed classes and open access • Stage 2: • Media and technology professionals meet regularly to plan collaborative learning units • There are no fixed classes in the media center or computer lab

  12. Implementation of Flexible Access (Continued) • Stage 3: • Highest level of implementation • Collaborative planning, implementation, reflection, and evaluation of formal units of instruction • Media and technology professionals may also engage in co-teaching with classroom teachers

  13. Collaboration: The Key to Success • Role of the Principal • Scheduling time for collaboration • Preparing for the meeting • Long-range planning • By Teachers • By Media coordinator • By Technology Facilitator • Communication • One-on-one collaboration (Teachable moments) • Group collaboration • Role(s) of participants

  14. Setting the Stage for Successful Collaboration • Attempt to meet personnel needs. • Articulate school-wide expectations for collaboration. • Develop a schedule to provide flexible access. • Acquire print and non-print resources. • Offer professional development. (Continued)

  15. Setting the Stage for Successful Collaboration (continued) • Upgrade building infrastructure as needed • Analyze student data to identify school-wide student needs. • Identify goals for technology/information skills integration in the School Improvement Plan. • Redesign the media center and classrooms to accommodate differentiated instruction using technology and flexible grouping.

  16. Formal Collaboration • Collaboration Toolkit • Create and evaluate multidisciplinary units • Create differentiated activities • Identify common planning for collaboration • Create new assessment tools and rubrics • Celebrate and recognize student and teacher achievements. • Evaluate outcomes using a variety of methods (surveys, reflections, etc.)

  17. Developing Integrated Units • Target the unit (T) • Brainstorm Objectives (C) • Refine Activities (C) • Assign Responsibilities for Instruction • Schedule Time • Present the Unit (C) • Evaluate the Unit • Share Successes

  18. Beyond the Classroom • Identify and integrate outside resources into units of instruction (local, state, national educational resources including print, digital, and human resources). • Provide after school programs for children, parents, and community members. • Open the media center and technology facilities extended hours

  19. Beyond the Classroom ` On-going Evaluation • The MTAC may evaluate the implementation of the IMPACT Model using the guided reflection questions found on page 8 of the IMPACT notebook • or the Program Evaluation Rubrics found at http://www.ncwiseowl.org/impact/admin/rubric.pdf
