Worksheet — Vision Statement

Vision Statement
 Students today enjoy the connectedness of social networking; it is part of their very being. Our goal is to bring instruction into that
cloud as an educational network to teach the content required in ways that inspire online responsibility and ethics in this new, very
connected world so that students develop the collaborative, participatory, communicative skills required in their futures.

We live in a rapidly developing and changing technological age. Technology allows us to create, communicate, and collaborate 24/7 in highly
personalized ways. To optimize the ability for all students to achieve, we envision each technology filled classroom as a hub of student-centered
and project-based learning whereby students actively engage and take responsible roles in their own learning. Under the guidance of technologically
proficient teachers cognizant of both content and technological standards, students will think, create, conduct inquiries, solve problems and
communicate in individual, collaborative and interdisciplinary settings to express evidence of conceptual understanding. In such classrooms,
technology allows differentiation in instruction and personal reflection; students and staff will actively participate in professional and personal
learning networks, connecting the classrooms to the community through the interactive nature of today’s web technology. Students learn
responsible and ethical participation in this connected world. Infusing technology standards into the curriculum in engaging, collaborative projects
will promote cultural sharing and global access while improving communication, enhancing thinking skills, making instruction more efficient and
effective, and developing life skills critical to success in our widely wired world. Technology provides meaningful assessment data that informs
instruction and allows students to develop higher order thinking and to demonstrate conceptual understanding. Through ongoing professional
development in the application of technology, teachers will continue to develop a repertoire of strategies and processes to bring the world of 24/7
personal access into a learning network of acceptable and responsible use in each classroom to develop life-long learners and participating citizens.
Therefore, Nespelem School District’s Technology Plan demonstrates a commitment increasing technology in each classroom and to providing
ongoing and continuous training to all of its teachers and students in the use of and integration of technology as tools for teaching and learning in
all subject areas.

Technology Plan
All districts complete this section of the district tech plan.

Narrative

Write a high-level overview that explains how your district is addressing the need to integrate technology into teaching and learning.
Here is a best practice guideline:
 Roll up the predicted numerical outcomes of the all the goals written at the building level. The big idea here is that a district-level tech
plan presents the strategic course of action necessary to meet the teaching, learning and tech integration goals of every school. Use
the optional template we provide from the SIP tool as a worksheet for goal development.
