Background The Franklin Township School District has had a technology plan in place guiding the implementation of technology as a curricular tool since 1998. As mandated by the Universal Services Fund (E-Rate), as well and the New Jersey Department of Education, every three years a new plan is written and approved by the Franklin Township Board of Education, District Administration and the Somerset County Department of Education. The three previous plans (2007-2010, 2010-2013, 2013-2016) focused on closing infrastructure and support gaps necessary to implement classroom technologies and state mandated digital assessments. The Three Year Technology Plan is created by the District Technology Committee, which is a steering committee tasked with creating, reviewing and updating the plan. The committee meets monthly to review the plan, gather data to evaluate plan effectiveness and make mid-course corrections as needed. The current technology plan builds upon the 2010-2013 technology plan and details a stronger emphasis on seamless classroom integration and leveraging technology to transform the learning environment. These goals help ensure that the current program is sustainable both technologically and financially. The plan also focuses on continuing the many professional development and support programs, implementing a strong digital citizenship program, and continuously improving the infrastructure so it evolves with increased usage. During this time the district installed interactive projectors and whiteboards in all classrooms in all schools, acquired 13” Macbook Air Laptops for all teachers and 4,380 11” Macbook Air laptops and carts for student use in all schools. We upgraded our district-wide wireless network infrastructure and installed a district-wide copier-based printing system, which replaced outdated, old and failed classroom printers. Our Technology Coaches provided 100’s of hours of instructional technology training provided to teachers and clerical staff. Also, the Supervisor of Instructional Technology position was created and filled.

respondent groups. *The Future Ready District Assessment will gauge our district's readiness to begin implementing digital learning. It includes a series of questions designed to help us frame a vision for digital learning, recognize the elements of the Future Ready Framework, specify how technology can help align these efforts to achieve higher college-and career-ready standards, and understand the type of digital leadership required to stage our district for success. This assessment was completed by our District Technology Committee.

Needs Assessment School vs. District Needs Assessment

It is imperative to understand that the district’s focus on equity across all students, staff and schools is an important decision factor where it pertains to technology integration, training and deployment. A concerted effort has been made, and continues to be made, when it comes to individualization and standardization. With the exception of special trials and pilot programs, the district focuses on grade level implementations of hardware and software, keeping consistency of programs across all schools. It is for this reason that this technology plan does not individualize different schools, but rather aligns specific objectives to the grade level(s) to which they apply. In addition, the district grades spans will be modified due to the One Less Move, One The Move Referendum.

Needs Assessment If our students are to graduate college and career ready in today's high-tech, connected society, they must be digitally competent, proficient with technology and the Internet, and equipped with 21st Century skills. This framework, according to the U.S. Department of Education, is designed to set out a roadmap to achieve that success and to commit districts to move as quickly as possible towards a shared vision of preparing students to thrive today and tomorrow. Using the NJDOE Digital Learning Surveys and the Future Ready Schools District Assessment, we are able to define our needs. The six district technology goals reflect the analysis of these surveys. Hardware and Optimal Network Needs Assessment, Reflection and Adjustments Detail Specifications for network requirements, from a capacity and availability standpoint, are acquired from various sources such as, application specific recommendations, staff and administrative feedback and testing requirements. These specifications are used to determine current network optimizations for specified uses, as well as recommendations for adjustments. The district technology budget networking line items are reflective of any gaps determined between current network capacity and future needs.

Professional Development The Franklin Township Public Schools will offer an ongoing program of professional development that is differentiated by the needs of administrators, teachers, support staff and parents and offer course choices, enhancing job productivity and student learning. Professional development opportunities will be delivered to all stakeholders via in-class session, online and self paced, individualized instruction.

Transformational Budgeting Implementation of the goals and objectives in this plan will require a continued commitment of funds over three years. All technology initiatives are funded centrally from the district’s technology budgets. This ensures equity in deployment of equipment and services. This will include funding sources for recurring services, anticipated leasing agreements, and anticipated purchases. In addition, the district will continue to develop a monitoring system to ensure what is purchased actually being used appropriately.

Goals and Objectives of the Plan

The Office of Instructional Technology recognizes and embraces the pivotal role of technology within our schools and district communities in today’s global society. In an effort to facilitate innovative learning and teaching, WE will strive to provide a safe and secure technological setting with current technology, information resources, and training. The 21st Century Ready Stakeholders - Students, teachers, administrators 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.
