Section II – Strategic Technology Planning

What is the overall district mission?

At Schuylerville Central School District, the academic achievement and development of the whole child will be the driving force in enriching opportunities for all students through academics and extracurricular activities.

The Schuylerville Central School District’s mission of schooling, caring, and succeeding is a mission for all our students. The academic achievement and development of the whole child will be the driving force in enriching opportunities for all students through academics and extracurricular activities.

The district emphasizes that it has zero tolerance for racism of any kind. As a public-school entity, we firmly believe that it is our moral obligation and civic duty to provide a fair and equitable education for all students. This has always been our cornerstone and always will be. We will always review our practices and policies to ensure we continue to foster a supportive educational environment for all students. We support and recognize the important role diversity plays in our school community and community at large and remain committed to making sure our district culture reflects.

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

The Schuylerville Central School District K-12 educational program will prepare students to be technologically literate individuals. With a focus on lifelong learning, our students will be able to make informed decisions about the role of technology in their lives. Students should have the opportunity to develop technology skills that support learning, personal productivity, and decision making. While we know that the day-to-day work of great teaching and learning in every classroom is what gets results for all students, innovative technology use is also crucial for the best possible instruction. Crafted through research and best practice review, with input from key stakeholders and technology experts, our vision for technology in the district is not to simply have students consume it, but to use it to create, collaborate, communicate globally, and to spread positivity that will not only make our students ready for today, but also their futures.

Summarize the planning process used to develop answers to the Instructional Technology Plan questions and/or your district comprehensive Instructional Technology Plan. Please include the stakeholder groups participating and the outcomes of the instructional technology plan development meetings.

Planning Process for Technology Plan: The purpose of this three-year technology plan is to provide a roadmap for the advancement and use of technology and technology-related resources to improve and support high quality educational services. To achieve these goals, we have formulated our vision to utilize technology integration in the district. This plan will provide a framework for making decisions and recommendations to improve technology’s impact on student achievement and our educator’s ability to implement technology within classroom instruction. Accordingly, a set of goals has been developed and by implementing our action plans we will achieve these goals.

The district technology committee will meet twice a year to evaluate and revise the plan in accordance with changes in education requirements, technology improvements, and curriculum. Since the committee is made up of teachers, administrators, and other staff, monthly discussions and topics will be addressed at monthly department/grade level meetings, along with weekly administrative meetings. In addition to the members of the technology committee, we will be communicating yearly with parents, students, and educators to provide valuable input to the members of the technology committee.

The technology plan will be shared throughout our district and community using various methods. The public will be able to review the technology plan via our district website and it will be disseminated to all staff. Updates on different initiatives will be communicated at building faculty meetings and email distributions.

In addition, this plan has been completed to meet the following requirements or guidelines of the:

  • Federal E-Rate program
  • New York State Education Department (SED)

How does the district’s Instructional Technology Plan build upon, continue the work of, and improve upon the previous three-year plan?

The Instructional Technology Plan for the district moving forward has the same core goals as the one from 2018-2022, with a focus on continuing to to provide all district members with the appropriate digital tools and training to continue the progress made. The strategies and software used by the district will continue to be evaluated and researched, but more emphasis will be placed on piloting programs, making sure software is ED LAW 2d compliant, and making more advancements in how technology can be used across all curriculum. We are always focused on finding new and better ways to reach students, especially after making incredible progress over the last three years. For professional development, we will look to utilize more time during the school year to better roll out new technology and be proactive instead of reactive when it comes to making changes to the district landscape. While we have met our 1:1 goal k-12, we have made a dramatic shift from iPads to Chromebooks and we will continue to support all district members as this cultural change takes time to fully implement.

How does the district Instructional Technology Plan reflect experiences during the COVID pandemic?

The Schuylerville Central School District is committed to continuing the progress made over the last three years. The district has adapted to the changes caused by the COVID pandemic by increasing the use of technology within curriculum instruction to help all students achieve success. The administration and staff have committed time and effort to professional learning of technology that can help them continue to make progress with all students despite the challenges they have faced. Our goal in this plan is to continue to research and provide all members of the district with the proper technological tools to meet the goals set forth by the school district. Evaluating what technology can do, needs that the district still has, and planning for future events that could shift education, like we just faced, is all important so that we are ready.

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

The district is committed to continuing its 1:1 initiative, but our main goal is to see sustained student engagement and that in turn will allow for greater student achievement. Over the past 8 years, increased technology has resulted in greater student engagement, not only because of the increased capabilities with each student having a device, but because the device has become transparent in teaching and learning while allowing for students to create authentic pieces of work to showcase their understanding of the content and standards.

Explain the strategies the district plans to implement to address the need to provide equitable learning “everywhere, all the time” (National Technology Plan). Include both short and long-term solutions, such as device access, internet access, human capacity, infrastructure, partnerships, etc.

The district plans to maintain the 1:1 initiative that began 8 years ago by providing all students with access to devices during and outside of school hours. In the last few years, students in K-12 have all been assigned devices and allowed to take the devices home daily. Along with computing devices like iPads and Chromebooks, the district plans to provide Wi-Fi hotspots for families needing connectivity at home. Increasing the on-campus infrastructure by adding wireless access points, updating servers, and increasing the internet speed will continue based on data collected.
