TECHNOLOGY PLANNING WRITING SESSION
Day One
Samples from old technology plan
November 2010John Closen
Summarize the Data
What is the data telling you? (see DIP/SIP) Possible probes for summary -- What
percentage of your students are meeting or exceeding state standards on state tests?
What grade levels made the largest gains? Smallest?
How are sub-groups performing compared with the general population?
Is the district making AYP/safe harbor in all areas?
Sample Report Card Data SummaryAssessment Data Summary In 2011, the district did not make Adequate
Yearly Progress. The district did not make AYP in Reading.
In 2011, the district reading scores for eighth grade were 96% meeting and/or exceeding and 75% in the 11th grade. Math scores in the 8th grade were 95% meeting and/or exceeding and 76% in the 11th grade.
Students with disabilities in reading for 8th grade were 78% meeting and/or exceeding and 44% in the 11th grade. Math scores for students with IEPs in the 8th grade were 62% meeting and/or exceeding and 39% in the 11th grade.
Students with disabilities is the district’s only sub-group.
Look for the Patterns
What patterns do you see in the results? Is there a similar pattern in previous
years’ data? (Look at trend data.) What more do you need to know about
these patterns? **Are there improvement efforts in place
that are affecting the data?
Sample Report Card Data Analysis In 2011, reading and math scores
showed a decline between 8th grade and 11th grade (21%, 19% respectively).
Students with disabilities had greater declines in reading and math between the grade levels (34%, 25% respectively).
Reading appears to be the biggest challenge for the district.
Data Hypothesis
Activity – Brainstorm! Designate a Recorder
Hypothesize – no right or wrong answers What in your system, community and/or
practices is causing students to perform the way they are?
Reminder: 100% of your students must meet or exceed state standards by 2014 – the ending year of your next technology plan.
Hypothesis
Accept or Reject? Go through your list as a team and discuss
them…what is reasonable to accept? For those your team accepts – TIP calls
them key factors or factors.
Key Factors
Identify probable causes or contributing factors to the identified needs/gaps that can be influenced by the goals and strategies of this plan.
Sample Key Factors
Teachers have not received professional development that focuses on researched-based instructional strategies for reading (and math) in grades 7-12 and has been proven to raise student achievement scores.
The district has not focused on differentiated instructional practices to serve our district’s increasing population of students with disabilities.
Conclusion
Is the conclusion simply stated (one or two sentences)? Based on data and information in prior
fields Focused on student achievement Supported by data analysis
Sample Conclusion
Analysis of these factors reveals that next steps have to be focused on the following: building capacity for teachers to work with an increasingly diverse student body and developing focused interventions to promote student success in reading and math.

Local Assessment Data Description – Provide a description of
the data collected during the development of the Action Plan. (See DIP – Section I, Part B) Tip – List the tools that were used for data

Attributes and Challenges of the District and Community that have affected student learning
Description – Provide a description of the data collected during the development of the Action Plan. Budget Analysis Tool, August 2011 Zoomerang Teacher and Parent Surveys, October

Summarize the Data - Summary of data as well as analysis of data.
Follow same pattern of questioning as before –do you see any patterns emerging? (Analysis)
Hypothesize Factors Conclusions – draw conclusions! Focus
the conclusion statement on student and staff access to and utilization of technology.
Sample Other Data
Teacher Survey Summary – (partial summary) 78% of teachers rated drill/practice as one of the top
learning practices using technology in their classroom. 80% of all teachers surveyed made no significant
changes to their classroom practices as a result of technology.
78% of teachers indicated they seldom or never encourage students to use technology to construct and produce knowledge beyond the material from teachers and textbooks.
15% of teachers have students use technology to create alternative research papers or demonstrate their achievement in alternate ways.
Sample Other Data
Teacher Survey Analysis (or collectively provide an analysis)
Students have opportunities to use technology for drill and practice, however there appears to be a limited number of activities that stretch students beyond knowledge and comprehension.
Sample Other Data
Key Factors (For my example, this would not be the only thing here! I focused on the teacher survey.)
Teachers are not mandated to integrate technology into the curriculum.
Limited computer time prevents students from utilizing the technology for more complex tasks.
Sample Other Data
Conclusion The district needs to continue
emphasizing technology integration into the curriculum to ensure students are involved in higher‐level problem‐solving and technology skill development in order to support all state and federal standards.

technology systems/equipment support, tools, and/or access.
Technology Integration Plan Section I – Data Analysis Part E
Meta Analysis: SMART Goal(s) The SMART goal can be the DIP goal, SIP goal, and/or based on conclusions from the Report Card and local assessment data. The SMART goal has an achievement focus. The strategies and activities of the Action Plan have a technology focus. The goal(s) should cover the three years of the TIP.
SMART – specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and tangible (or timely)
Sample Goals
While our current achievement in reading for fifth grade shows 62% of our students in the meets/exceeds categories on the ISAT, the fifth grade will utilize technology resources and will make AYP (or safe harbor) of at least 92.5% in 2013 and 100% in 2014.
While our current achievement in reading for the grade 3 low-income subgroup is 50% meeting/exceeding for ISAT, this subgroup will make AYP of at least 92.5% in 2012 and 2013 or Safe Harbor and 100% in 2014 or Safe Harbor.
For next time…
