Strategic planning assures our commitment for the future by keeping educational technology a primary focus that provides our teachers with optimum skills, supports, and resources to ensure that our instruction and curriculum meet the demands of the 21st century. The Hopkins Technology Strategic Plan 2008-2011 was approved by the Hopkins School Board in April 2007. Our department annually reviews the plans and makes recommendations for modfications. The complete Strategic Plan and the Annual Review are available as downloads below. The plan has five strategies that reflect the major responsibilities of the Technology, Media Services, and Information Systems department:

Technology-Infused Curriculum and Instruction Strategy
We will integrate information (instructional/educational) technologies into curriculum, instruction, and assessment to stimulate learning, collaboration, communication, and creativity to achieve intellectual and personal growth.

Information Systems Strategy
We will support and enhance data-driven decision-making by building an efficient and dynamic structure for data management, information support, and information training.

Technology Infrastructure Strategy
We will provide for secure, effective, and efficient communication, learning, and engagement among all stakeholders by providing a reliable and dynamic infrastructure and necessary personnel.

Technology Support and Services Strategy
We will provide unified district-wide standards and recommendations for hardware and software implementation to achieve efficient integration, services, support, and training.

Technology Leadership Strategy
We will establish a dynamic leadership structure that provides effective and efficient oversight of the Technology Strategic Plan. From http://www.uxbridgeschools.com/admin_technology.shtml Our vision is for every student and staff member to develop the skills that allow them to use technology to access, analyze, create meaning, and communicate with information

Technology is used in the following manner throughout the district:  §  The use of technology is focused on student achievement  §  In addition to mastering technical competency skills, students use technology to develop critical thinking, information literacy, and communication skills  §  Students will benefit from providing ongoing, sustained professional development for teachers, principals, administrators, and other school personnel to further the use of technology  §  Every student has access to technology that is appropriate for his or her individual learning needs  §  Technology is used to increase communication with parents and to increase parental involvement  §  Technology is used to enhance communication amongst all staff  §  Technology will be used for gathering and analyzing data for assessment of student achievement, curriculum, instruction, and programs and for designing and implementing assessments of student learning http://www.episd.org/_district/docs/EPISD_Tech_Plan.pdf Delivering this vision will unquestionably require philosophical and pedagogical shifts. To address these areas, the following overarching goals are proposed: // Goal 1: // To improve teaching and learning through the use of technology. // Goal 2: // To improve educator preparation and development through the use of technology. // Goal 3: // To improve administration and support services through the use of technology. // Goal 4: // To improve infrastructure for technology. // Goal 5: // To improve community outreach. // Goal 6: // To evaluate the impact of technology on teaching and learning.
