HALF HOLLOW HILLS CSD 2018-2021 Instructional Technology Plan - Annually - 2018 II. Strategic Technology Planning Section II - Strategic Technology Planning 1.

What is the overall district mission?

The Mission of the Half Hollow Hills School district is to prepare students for the challenges of the future in a rapidly changing society. In the accomplishment of this mission: Students will acquire the skills to utilize technology effectively, be able to communicate through the utilization of these, benefit from a curriculum enhanced by the use of technology, be supported by a knowledgeable staff equipped with these skills and have access to hardware and software to accomplish these as well as benefit from ongoing analysis and planning that involve all aspects of the community.

2.

What is the vision statement that guides instructional technology use in the district?

To ensure that every child has equitable access to the highest quality educational opportunities, services and supports in schools that provide effective instruction aligned to the state's standards, as well as positive learning environments so that each child is prepared for success in college, career, and citizenship.

The Half Hollow Hills School District strongly supports the principle that: “Each individual has a capacity to learn which can be developed and nurtured through formal educational experiences. The ultimate mission of the New York State educational system is to help each individual identify, develop, and utilize his capabilities for his personal welfare and that of society. The development of the specific capabilities needed by individuals generally is the goal of education.”[1] The following Technology Plan represents a blueprint that will provide for growth and development in our district’s ability to: maintain and enhance our infrastructure; manage and upgrade hardware and software; professionally develop our staff; effectively communicate with parents and members of the community. Most importantly of all, thoroughly and efficiently educate our students. The goals of the District Technology Plan include, but are not limited to: preserving the district’s commitment to technology, augmenting the district’s technology infrastructure, improving learning through technology, offering and encouraging participating in professional development opportunities related to technology, and continuing our collaborative approach to technology planning and funding. It is the belief of the planning team that the following action plans need to be implemented in order to meet the challenges of the next decade and beyond.

Maximize student learning by continuing to integrate technology into all curriculum areas. Provide students with access to technology in all instructional areas.

Provide teachers access to technology for lesson preparation. Provide ongoing training and staff development for technology. Provide technical support to optimize student and staff use of existing equipment. Equip each school with computer labs or laptop carts that will accommodate classes of students, providing each student with a workstation. Provide students and staff access to electronic networks within and among district buildings.

Provide centralized electronic system for student recordkeeping and instructional inventory.

Support students’ research skills by continuing to provide automated school libraries and full access to electronic resources. Our technology committee initially consisted of teachers, and administrators, now includes students and residents, meet regularly to assess and evaluate the integration of technology into all programs and to revise and update the District Technology Plan. The focus of the action plans is; the continuing efforts to maintain state-of-the-art technology in our district, the integration of technology to curriculum. It is recognized that the Technology Plan is an ongoing effort, which will continue to be refined as the ever-changing world of technology evolves.

Exemplar projects can be uploaded to our new Learning Management System Canvas to be used as models for future work.

To increase equitable access to high quality digital resources and standards-based, technology-rich learning experiences, staff will be guided through the use of these through our Professional Development opportunities. They will in turn, instruct our students on the use of our vetted resources for the completion of the projects listed above. As they submit their technology projects for evaluation by their classroom teachers, these projects will be aligned to a matrix of skills that will effectively measure student's level of technology competency. (Link to Technology matrix) Our resources will also be shared through our LMS platform with single sign on, providing easy access to all constituents.

Staff will be provided access to relevant and rigorous professional development. This will ensure educators and leaders are proficient in the integration of learning technologies, which is in line with the tools and resources our staff and students will use in the classroom to support college and career readiness. All staff members are required to participate in nine hours of professional development vetted and chosen by our district which strengthens the knowledgebase of all staff and students. Demonstration of proficient skills will be assessed as staff members turn key these technologies in their buildings and classrooms. Professional Development opportunities are overseen by our Coordinator of Professional Development, as well as our Assistant Superintendents for Curriculum and Administrative Services.

2018-2021 Instructional Technology Plan - Annually - 2018 IV. NYSED Initiatives Alignment Section IV - NYSED Initiatives Alignment 1.

Explain how the district use of instructional technology will serve as a part of comprehensive and sustained effort to support rigorous academic standards attainment and performance improvement for students.

The Half Hollow Hills School District recognizes and embraces the pivotal role of technology within our schools and community in today’s global society. In an effort to facilitate innovative learning and teaching, the district will strive to provide a safe and secure technological setting with current technology, information resources, and training. Students, staff, and community members will be able to access, process, and communicate information using a wide range of resources and technologies. Individuals will have the opportunity to become independent, lifelong learners in a rapidly-changing society. The technology mission of Half Hollow Hills is to provide equitable access for all students and staff to technological resources. These resources promote the critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills that are required for students to become lifelong learners and productive citizens in a technologically complex, multicultural, and global environment. It is our goal to provide a vision within our district where technology integration supports and enhances curriculum at all grade levels, departments and our community through progressive and interactive resources. When examining the New York State Learning standards, one cannot help but notice how the use of instructional technology embedded throughout the curriculum will not only enhance and strengthen the ties between the learning goals but develop the critical thinking skills necessary to interpret and extrapolate information from a plethora of resources which students now encounter. Students are being asked to "conduct research based on focused questions to demonstrate understanding of the subjects under investigation, gather relevant information from multiple sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information in writing while avoiding plagiarism." The projects we have chosen to embed at each and every grade level exemplify these skills at every step of the way. When looking at the speaking and listening strand, students are asked to "Make strategic use of digital media and visual displays to express information and enhance understanding of presentations."

Our skills matrixes shows a steady continuum of these very skills as students are asked to visually create and present their projects to showcase their learning. The scaffolding skills we have introduced and identified at each level are part of the district wide integration of technology plan to embed these skills into the curriculum, aligning to the state standards in organized sequential steps to provide a sustained effort to support their learning.

2.

Students with disabilities may be served through the use of instructional technology as well as assistive technology devices and services to ensure access to and participation in the general curriculum. Describe how instruction is differentiated using technology to support the individualized learning needs of this student group.

Students who are classified by the Committee on Special Education in Half Hollow Hills may receive Special Education services in a myriad of ways.

The use of technology is embedded into the teaching instruction for all students, but those students who require additional support are provided specific technology tools. Those tools are matched according to the needs of each individual student. Half Hollow Hills employs an assistive technology consultant to provide individualized ongoing services to students with disabilities who require assistive technology to be successful in the school environment. The technology support is ongoing for our students with special education services as well as ongoing training with staff and parents. Special Education encompasses a comprehensive array of services, instructional methodologies, materials and equipment to provide students with disabilities additional educational support to meet the demands of common core curriculum. Special education services, goals and accommodations are uniquely designed to meet the individual needs of each student in purpose, content, delivery, mode, intensity and duration. Such services are recommended by the Committee on Special Education and an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) is then developed based on a student’s present level of performance and individual needs. Technology is included in the IEP and is developed by a multi-disciplinary team consisting of the child’s teacher, school psychologist, special education teacher, Assistive Technology specialist when appropriate, related service providers, and input from the parent. The IEP includes specific goals and objectives, as well as any modifications and/or testing accommodations that the child may need to perform in his or her current setting. Students with disabilities are placed in the least restrictive setting and integrated with their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent possible, based on each student’s individual needs. Currently, 95% of our students with disabilities are integrated in our district schools, with 5% receiving their education in schools outside the district, such as BOCES and special day and residential schools. Our students are provided with devices on as needed basis, and staff as well as students receive training on an individual as well as group basis according to need and the use of the device. These devices assist our students to participate in the grade level curriculum as much as possible. iPads are used to improve communication skills, visually impaired student are able to view text either through the enlarged view, or text to speech functionality.
