It is our mission to prepare learners for the future so that they may become adaptable, purposeful, and self-directed members of society.

3. Professional Development Goal # 1 Comprehensive Training: Annually, all instructional personnel will receive comprehensive training in differentiated instruction. The trainings will incorporate the Illinois State Standards, National Staff Development Council’s 12 standards and the ISTE NETS-S/TSSA

4. Advanced Training Opportunities:It is imperative to meet the specific software needs of experienced staff members. Professional Development Goal # 2

5. Administrators/tech support teams will be trained in all programs that the district offers. Professional Development Goal # 3

6. Provide a computer for every classroom that is powerful enough for teachers to utilize email, access the Internet and run Microsoft Office programs.   Tech Deployment Goal # 1

7. Insure that every computer being used throughout the District is sufficiently powerful to run needed applications. To meet this need, no machine older than three years old should be used as the primary computer to meet educational needs. Tech Deployment Goal # 2

11. Summary of Assessment Plan The purpose of our assessment and evaluation process is to verify that our district is meeting our Tech Deployment and Professional Development Goals. The information received from the assessments will be used to help us make decisions as to whether our Technology Plan is successful and whether or not changes need to be made.

12. Summary of Assessment Plan Cont. We will have a tech team of teachers and administrators who will guide us through the evaluation process. Having the updated programs on strong, reliable computers will provide consistency to the students.

13. Still Going... The students will have access to the most current programs which they will use within each of their core subject areas. New hardware and professional development opportunities within technology will ensure that our students will be able to participate in the most advanced online tutorials, explorations, and assessments, allow our students to create meaningful links to content as they prepare technology projects, and will provide students with the most current update information on the internet.

14. And Going... Another student benefit is that with advanced hardware and software, students will be able to participate in distance learning programs which will ensure that our students are receiving the best education while attending schools within our district.

15. And Done! Overall, this plan will ensure that each student and every teacher is empowered with technology skills that are appropriate and aligned with the curriculum requirements and state standards.
