NEEDS ASSESSMENT In support of student learning, Flagstaff Unified School District has been fortunate to make great strides in providing instructional technology devices in the past two years. The Capital Override passed by the Flagstaff community in 2006 has resulted in funds being available to build a refresh cycle for infrastructure and classroom technologies including workstations, laptops, computer labs, projectors and document cameras. The 2009-10 school year has been focused on implementing projectors and document cameras for every classroom and laptops for all certified instructional positions. This has included nine hours of professional development conducted by a cadre of district teacher trainers as well as activities through our districtwide technology peer coaching program. The overall goal is to have the infrastructure, support, devices and professional development to allow for seamless integration of technology in all curricular areas. Student Learning The challenge for our education system is to leverage the learning sciences and modern technology to create engaging, relevant, and personalized learning experiences for all learners that mirror students’ daily lives and the reality of their futures. In contrast to traditional classroom instruction, this requires that we put students at the center and empower them to take control of their own learning by providing flexibility on several dimensions. A core set of standards-based concepts and competencies should form the basis of what all students should learn, but beyond that students and educators should have options for engaging in learning: large groups, small groups, and work tailored to individual goals, needs, interests, and prior experience of each learner. By supporting student learning in areas that are of real concern or particular interest to them, personalized learning adds to its relevance, inspiring higher levels of motivation and achievement.

Transforming American Education: Learning Powered by Technology National Educational Technology Plan (Draft), 2010

All learners will: • have access to authentic learning activities appropriate to their development whenever and wherever they need. • use appropriate strategies and technology to collaborate, construct knowledge and develop solutions to real-world problems. • communicate effectively with global audiences.

Long Range Strategic Goals Transforming Education: Enabling Learning for All Arizona Students

The Arizona Long-Range Strategic Educational Technology Plan, 2009

Current Reality Current level of technology integration and technology integration method Technology is currently being integrated throughout all subject areas on a variety of levels. Some examples are technology peer coaches and collaborating teachers developing interactive lessons for the Smart Board or Promethean together; digital storytelling ideas in which students demonstrate their understanding of a concept; lessons in which the coach's students and the collaborating teacher's students work as a team on a tech-integrated lesson. In addition to peer coaching documentation, results are available through observations, as well as projects that are developed and implemented through professional development courses. Beginning in May 2010, technology walkthroughs will be completed for each school to ascertain the level of technology integration and types of technology readily available in classrooms. Fall 2010


walkthroughs will be continued but will also include how those technologies are being used for instruction.

Technology Literacy FUSD 5th and 8th grade students are assessed with the 21st Century Skills Assessment twice yearly in fall and spring. Fall pre-assessment scores:

Number of Students Assessed

Number of Students scoring

Proficient

District Average Exam Score

5th grade 282 76 253 (27%) 8th grade 367 67 265 (22%)

Spring post-assessments will be completed in May following submission of the district tech plan. Delivering curriculum through the use of technology At this time, FUSD utilizes onlines courses available through Mesa Distance Learning. 61 students took part in online course during the 2009-2010 school year. Currently, over 80 7-12 grade courses online - courses range from basic core classes like Algebra and 9th grade Science and English to Mandarin Chinese, Service Learning, Multicultural Literature and Mythology. This particular student population consists of students with social issues that make attending the traditional school environment challenging, preferred home school students (often religious reasons), expecting teens or teen parents, students on probation or in Teen Challenge (New Horizons Academy), and students with various health issues. Mesa is always adding courses online the most recent editions being Drivers Education, Service Learning, Multicultural Literature and Mythology. Parental involvement HomeLogic is a module available through our student information system that allows parents to access student attendance and grades. In addition, Schoolwires, a content management system (CMS), was selected to replace the existing Dreamweaver-based district website. Through the CMS, district and classroom level information is contributed and shared. Finally, the VoIP phone system project will be completed in summer 2010 and enables improved communcations between parents and teachers/administrators. Technology for increased authentic learning, increased collaboration and communication skills, and problem-solving by students Instructional technology resources currently in place have contributed to a 21st learning environment in FUSD. Computer labs, mobile labs, teacher laptops, interactive whiteboards, projectors, document cameras, student response systems, iPods and sufficient bandwidth for access to online resources are available to teachers, students and administrators at this time. The combination of infusing these tools into core content, basic and 21st century skills for students enables authentic experiences that are relevant to their lives and allows them to be connected to communities and the world beyond the classroom. FUSD Student Learning Needs

• Increase opportunities for individual learning devices by purchasing iPods touches, iPads, student response devices, etc.

• Provide continued professional development on effective technology integration methods


• Establish consistent method of assessing levels and methods of technology integration • Find a way to disseminate ways to use technology • Establish assessment methods for all our students on their knowledge and use of

technology • Cultivate authentic 21st century learning experiences • Create and deliver internet safety curriculum, grades K-12

Leadership All leaders will: • model, implement, and assess appropriate technology use at all levels of the teaching and learning process. • have access to the appropriate tools and resources to guide instructional and administrative practice. • implement a dynamic technology planning process that expands curricular and instructional opportunities to students. • provide opportunities for sustained, relevant, timely and effective professional development

Ways administrators promote and evaluate the effective use of technology by teachers


• Classroom observations, evaluation discussions, monitoring of teacher professional development selections, support of site-based technology peer coaches

• Technology usage is promoted by supporting teacher technology needs and by arranging for technology professional development

o Electronic lesson planning tools o Content Management System o Document cameras o Interactive whiteboards o VoIP phone system (voicemail, etc.) o Technology integration o Laptop care and feeding

• Clear expectations for technology integration • Hiring site-based technology specialists • Promoting the use of Easy Tech • Viewing the multi media and technology projects done by the students • Purchasing and promoting technology resources for teachers and classrooms • Reviewing the district technology assessment results given to 5th graders.

Roles site-based LEA administrators play in the types and quantity of technology that are available to their staff and students FUSD administrators participate in site-based technology teams as well as the district level technology committee and the district level Technology Capital Override Planning Team. Technology planning and purchase activities are conducted in all three levels. Additional current realities for FUSD--

• Generally speaking, there is a strong administrative focus on using technology for data anaylsis versus technology integration.

• Evaluations do not include technology integration and effective use of technology. • Teacher leaders do exist within schools and administrators often rely on them for

modeling and providing professional development and guidance

FUSD Leadership Needs • Administrators’ use of technology

o Administrators should be evaluated on their own use of technology o Provide professional development for administrators so they can accurately

evaluate teachers in the area of technology integration o Modeling of relevant use and integration of technology by administrators o Regular, active administrator participation in technology professional

development and technology initiatives • Technology Integration

o Administrators need a stronger sense of what tech integration is and how to evaluate it

o Administrators need to be open to new technology development and encourage professional development and sharing of technology integration

• Evaluation of Technology Integration


o Develop a realistic/appropriate tool for evaluating teachers (in technology integration) that would be used by all administrators consistently across the district

• Technology Planning o Administrators should participate in tech planning for their school

Preparation and Development Of Educators Just as leveraging technology can help us improve learning and assessment, the model of 21st century learning calls for using technology to help build the capacity of educators by enabling a shift to a model of connected teaching. In such a teaching model, teams of connected educators replace solo practitioners and classrooms are fully connected to provide educators with 24/7 access to data and analytic tools as well as to resources that help them act on the insights the data provide.


All educators will: • complete their initial preparation with the pedagogy, practical knowledge and skills to use technology to enhance every student’s learning. • have access to research-based professional development opportunities whenever and wherever they need.


The Arizona Long-Range Strategic Educational Technology Plan, 2009 Current Reality Methods for identifying tech PD In recent years, including this one, technology PD needs have been identified primarily through volunteer participation in surveys and skills assessments. District technology rollouts -- such as this year's Web content-management system, document cameras, projectors, teacher laptops, and VOIP phones -- as well as non-tech-related district initiatives have also helped drive tech PD offerings in terms of both content and frequency. Similarly, tech PD is also informed by the need to provide training and support for district goals and initiatives that are not directly tech related, such as Curriculum Mapping, parental involvement via the Logic attendance and gradebook system, and assessments such as DIBELS. Student achievement data in programs such as EasyTech is also utilized to develop professional development offerings to assist teachers in effective use of the curriculum. Tech PD availablilty to faculty, staff, and administrators Most professional development offerings take the form of 3-hour workshops and 15-hour Professional Growth Academy (PGA) courses. Shorter trainings and workshops are also delivered on an as-needed basis at the district office and individual school sites. In addition, tech PD is delivered during shorter prep-hour, early-release, and after-school sessions. We also have an established technology peer-coaching program that trains coaches to assist collaborating teachers with lesson improvement and the rigorous and relevant integration of technology. Finally, tech-related (and non-tech-related) PD is available through Web-based IDEAL courses and resources. This year, in particular, our efforts have also focused on delivering 9 hours of training to every certified faculty and staff member who received a laptop as part of this year’s technology roll-out. The 9 hours comprises three 3-hour workshops: “Teacher Website Section Editor Training,” “Care and Feeding of Your Laptop,” and “Technology Integration, Quadrant D, and You.”


Tech PD incentives All tech PD, from prep-period trainings to PGA courses, is typically offered for recertification seat hours. 3-hour workshops are also worth 1/4 undergraduate credit on the FUSD salary scale upon approval by the Professional Growth Committee (PGC). Approved PGA courses are worth 1 graduate salary-scale credit in additional to seat hours. Tech peer coaches are typically rewarded for their time and effort with stipends, equipment, and Career Ladder ICP points. Frequency of tech PD offerings The frequency of tech PD ranges from several offerings a month to several offerings a semester depending on the topic(s) and other ongoing activity and commitments throughout FUSD. Summer offerings, varying from 3 hours to one week in length, are also common. In general, trainings are made available to everyone, from classified staff to certified faculty to administrators and others. Some opportunities are limited to specific groups, such as Webmasters (several work days per year), technology trainers (3-5 hours of train-the-trainer PD), technology peer coaches (5 full days during the summer and 3 full days during the school year), and tech peer coaches’ collaborating teachers (a half-hour or more per week with their coaches). Tech PD providers Tech PD is most commonly delivered by FUSD’s Technology Integration Coordinator, our grant-funded Northern Arizona Technology Integration Coaching Consortium (N.A.T.I.C.C.) Technology Peer Coaching Facilitators, and our region's state-funded Technology Integration Specialist. This year, we have also leveraged a cadre of twenty-four technology trainers who have assisted in our efforts to deliver 9 hours of designated tech PD to almost every certified faculty and staff member in the district. Additionally, N.A.T.I.C.C.'s active Technology Peer Coaches each work with one or more collaborating teachers, and other individuals throughout the district occasionally put on tech-related workshops and PGA courses of their own design. Measuring the effectiveness of tech PD The effectiveness of tech PD is typically measured with a mix of periodic volunteer surveys and more frequent, required evaluations that every participant in an official training must complete to receive seat hours and/or credit. (These required evaluations are part of district PD policy that governs non-tech-related PD offerings as well.) FUSD Professional Development Needs Leadership & Administration

• Modeling of relevant use and integration of technology by administrators • Regular, active administrator participation in tech PD and tech initiatives • More consistent communication of expectations related to the integration of technology • Increased participation in voluntary, embedded, tech-related PD to ensure that tech

integration expectations can be met • Inclusion of technology integration concepts in new-hire qualifications and ongoing

faculty and staff evaluations Evaluation & Data Collection

• Walk-throughs to assess the quality and quantity of tech integration and to compare first-hand observation with self-reporting data

• A/V recording and subsequent, widespread dissemination of tech-inclusive model lessons and best practices


Curriculum

• Increased awareness and inclusion of Arizona and (inter)national technology standards in teachers' planning and practice

• PD that continues to focus not just on skills and confidence, but also on meaningful technology integration through lesson planning and improvement

• Systematic inclusion of technology "common assessments" (electronic portfolios, student-driven projects, etc.) throughout the K-12 curriculum via integration with approved curriculum maps

• Increased teacher and student use of Easytech, with a PD emphasis on EasyTech as a customizable, holistic curriculum solution

• Promoting awareness of 21st Century Skills, with a particular emphasis on digital citizenship (legal, ethical, and online safety concerns)

• Emphasis on Web-based IDEAL resources as viable, desirable sources for tech-related and non-tech-related curriculum enhancement

Programmatic Professional Development

• Remedial and "next steps" PD related to 209-2010 technology rollouts, especially the Website CMS and teacher document cameras

• Alternative modes of PD -- including incentives like seat hours and salary-scale credit -- such as webinars, independent study, and "just-in-time" online trainings

• Regular inclusion of technology in professional-learning community conversations • Emphasis on Web-based IDEAL courses and resources as viable, desirable alternatives

for tech-related and non-tech-related continuing education • Coordinated PD planning that leverages the reach and work of existing non-tech groups

(Career Ladder PFEs, Instructional Coaches, etc.) to increase tech integration awareness and literacy

• Continued development of and support to ensure the sustainability of tech peer coaching and technology trainer programs

Infrastructure An essential component of the 21st century learning model is a comprehensive infrastructure for learning that provides every student, educator, and level of our education system with the resources they need when and where they are needed. The underlying principle is that infrastructure includes people, processes, learning resources, policies, and sustainable models for continuous improvement in addition to broadband connectivity, servers, software, management systems, and administration tools. Building this infrastructure is a far-reaching project that will demand concerted and coordinated effort.


The goals above will be achieved through an infrastructure that provides: • secure and reliable anytime/anywhere access to a variety of current and emerging technologies. • just-in-time assistance to support the use of technology for administration, teaching and learning. • policies and procedures that ensure equitable access to all users.




Current Reality Network configuration and utilization The District office is connected to Qwest Metro Optical Ethernet (QMOE) with a 1000Mbs fiber connection. Each of the secondary and elementary schools have a 100Mbs fiber connection to QMOE. A 100 Mbs connection to the internet originates at the District office and is shared by all of the sites. One or more 100 Mbs CAT 5e network connections are available in every classroom throughout the district. Access to the internet and local network resources is also available in each elementary and secondary via a district wide wireless network (802.11 b/g/n capable) allowing for greater mobility and access to network resources for both students and staff. Internet connection utilization runs anywhere from 25% to 50% on average with peaks of 80% to 90% during heavy usage. Exceptions to this scenario are Leupp School with a dedicated 3mbs microwave connection and Project New Start with a dedicated T1 connection. Access to technology/technology replacement cycle Students have access to one or more computer labs comprised of 30 or more computers in each of the schools. In addition, one or more computers are available in each classroom or library. 75% of schools have one or more mobile carts comprised of 20 or more laptops available for student use. FUSD is investigating the potential use of other mobile devices such as iPods and iPads for student use. Each teacher in the district has a district issued laptop assigned to them. Every classroom has been provided with a projector and document camera during the 2009-10 school year. Approximately 30% of classrooms have interactive whiteboards and all schools have at least one set of individual student response systems. Voice amplification systems are primiarily installed in elementary classrooms with a limited number of systems available in middle school classrooms. Digital still and video cameras are available throughout FUSD schools. Administrators have a district issued laptop assigned to them. Cell/smartphones are currently in use on a limited basis by some administrative personnel. Equipment purchased in 2008/09 and 2009/10 with Capital Override and Bond funds, marks the beginning of a five year replacement cycle for desktops, three year replacement cycle for laptops, and five year replacement cycle for network and server components. E-Rate & Infrastructure Currently, FUSD relies on E-rate discounted services for internet access (microwave) to Leupp School, a K-8 school residing on the Navajo reservation. Yearly discount requests assist in the maintenance of this 3 mb connection. FUSD’s 2010-11 E-rate requests included an increase to 10 mb for this school. Given the low districtwide percentage, E-rate services have been requested in past years for individual schools in the 90% discount range for a very limited amount of internal connection devices (routers). FUSD will continue to investigate E-rate infrastructure services that can be leveraged for our higher discount percentage schools.
