07+From+Scratch

On this page we were allowed to BrainStorm what Strategy 5 could be if we started from "Scratch"
 Cathy Mewmaw Jeremy McBrayer Drew Mundsinger Julie Pavlini

Using the technology to learn Seamless integration Constant/ubiquitous process Access Infrastructure Loaded more towards the students then staff Learning through technology not learning technology 1. We will continue to develop p artnerships ( JOHN asks : do we want to stick with "Partnership" or change it to "Community Involvement"?) with families, municipalities, businesses and elected officials to secure sufficient resources and assure their effective use to achieve our mission and objectives. 2. We will engage all members of our partnership to integrate, reinforce and assess the c haracter traits of responsibility, trustworthiness, citizenship, caring, fairness and respect to address those social issues which negatively impact learning. ( JOHN asks : Could we combine this idea with the NETS for Students on Digital Citizenship?) 3. We will ensure all instructional staff fully implement the standards-aligned curriculum, utilize assessment data, differentiate instruction and apply appropriate interventions to engage each student in meeting or exceeding district and state standards. ( JOHN asks : can we connect this to our curriculum mapping efforts and the consensus maps? Perhaps begin looking at these and "suggesting" appropriate technology tools to use...) 4. We will design a system that enables students to explore aspirations, talents and interests in order to set challenging, personalized goals and confidently make successful transitions toward further learning and meaningful endeavors of their choice 5. We will capitalize on the opportunities provided by growth and technological innovation to design facilities, learning environments and delivery systems to best achieve our mission and objectives. We will use technology to facilitate partnerships, develop positive character using curriculum designed to prepare students for a successful transition in a world integrated with technology. We will empower student learning through evolving technological innovation creating..... How about this one (Cathy Mewmaw) We will empower student learning through the integration of technology in all curricular areas using technology that is embedded within each classroom. Nice - perhaps more of a "statement": Empowering students through the curriculum by integrating technology ?

JM- We will integrate technology throughout the district to serve curriculur needs to empower student education.

From Strategy 1 <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: AGaramondPro-Regular; mso-bidi-font-family: AGaramondPro-Regular;"> How can we continue to communicate with people outside of school? Specific result? Use technology to build/maintain relationships/partnerships in community From Strategy 2 Character counts Specific results? <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: AGaramondPro-Regular; mso-bidi-font-family: AGaramondPro-Regular;">demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning
