Program Evaluation ToolTechnology Plans—Goals
Expand the effective integration of technology to reflect current trends in relevant education technology that support curriculum, instruction and assessment.
We will integrate technology literacy within the content areas.
All students and staff will have adequate and timely access to the computer hardware, digital content, and connectivity necessary for teaching and learning.
Program Evaluation
At tables, discuss one program/strategy/initiative that you have implemented in your school/district. Briefly share the impact on student achievement, then discuss
#1 – Readiness#2 – Knowledge & Skills#3 – Opportunity#4 – Implemented as Intended
Report out! What does your table group notice about the application of the four questions?
Thank You!
