IT Vision

Technology enhances academic achievement when combined with sound instructional practices. Instructional Technology supports the fusion of tools and practice in the classroom to provide students with essential experiences and skills. We collaborate with teachers, administrators, and students to enrich teaching and learning through the use of technology.

IT Mission

1. Implementation - plan and implement levy projects that include school-based equipment, technology applications and professional development.

2. Capacity - help schools define a model for supporting technology use, and arrange training to insure that the school has capacity for its ongoing support needs.

• Mentoring individual teacher leaders to effectively integrate technology.
• Provide a model template to allow buildings to scaffold a blueprint to meet their site specific constraints and needs.
• Work with buildings to develop site technology support plans as well as identifying staff roles.
• Assist schools in building capacity to offer technology integration training to teachers.
