Goals for Tech Readiness2012-13 2013-14

Develop and implement collaborative purchasing arrangements for statewide network services and personal learning and assessment devices.

Establish sustainable, cost-effective

collaborations for sharing technology and data-related services to assist schools and districts to become “test ready.”

Build the capacity of educators at

ISDs, LEAs, and PSAs to effectively plan and implement online assessments and “Any Time, Any Place, Any Way, Any Pace” learning.

Competitively award a whole-

school technology pilot with a focus on economic and demographic diversity.

Develop and implement collaborative purchasing arrangements for statewide network services and personal learning and assessment devices.

Establish sustainable, cost-effective

collaborations for sharing technology and data-related services to assist schools and districts to become “test ready.”

Build the capacity of educators at

ISDs, LEAs, and PSAs to effectively plan and implement online assessments and “Any Time, Any Place, Any Way, Any Pace” learning.

58

FY2012-13

726 participants

56 ISDs (100%)

530 Districts (96.5%)

139 Charter Schools (50%)

58

Eligibility Requirements

Individual districts and ISDs must complete the Michigan Technology Readiness Assessment tool (MTRAx) by December 15, 2013.

Individual districts and ISDs must agree to complete an updated technology readiness planning process designated by the department by June 30, 2014.

59

Participation Requirements1. The district agrees to participate in one statewide or

regional consortium identified through the application process and report spending estimates under the new participation requirements. The district agrees to limit participation funds spending toward technology readiness efforts such as: Online/Digital Assessment, including universal diagnostic

screening tools In-building wireless connectivity Network services (i.e. additional bandwidth, content

filtering) Computer/device purchasing Technology and data collaborations that support online

assessment readiness

60

Participation Requirements (Cont.)

2. The district agrees to be represented in TRIG sponsored statewide 470 bids for E-rate funding and consider using the awarded vendors, although districts will not be bound to purchase from the bid. The district agrees to apply for all of their eligible E-rate Priority 1 service(s) where such participation is economically advantageous to the district.

3. In instances where the ISD or district manages its own wide area networks (WANs), the ISD/district will, if requested, allow for the connection of the ISDs/District WAN to the SEN (State Education Network). The ISD/District will permit installation of electronics and/or software, provided by this grant, required for implementing and performance monitoring of the SEN. This is with the understanding that the electronics and/or software provided by this grant will not negatively interfere with or control the ISD/District’s servers, routers, switches or other WAN equipment determined necessary and installed by June 30, 2014. 61


4. The district agrees to satisfactorily participate in one or more of the State of Michigan authorized online pilot and/or field test opportunities. To satisfy this requirement, the total number of online pilot and/or field tests administered in the district during the 2013-14 school year must equate to at least 20% of your district's full-time equivalency (FTE) pupil count from the Fall 2013 MSDS Collection. Please see participation examples below.

This requirement includes necessary activities related to online testing such as installing software, attending training, and performing online test preparation procedures. It is understood that the software will not negatively interfere with the district’s normal operations. The grant will not require the installation of software under these participation requirements after June 30, 2014.

62


Example #1: If a charter school with 150 student FTEs administers the science and social studies interim pilot assessments to 15 students in the fourth grade, that equates to 30 tests administered and therefore satisfies this participation requirement.

Example #2: If a K-12 school district with 1,700 student FTEs administers the ELA and math interim pilot assessments to 180 students in grades K through 2, that equates to 360 tests administered and therefore satisfies this participation requirement.

Example #3: If a K-12 school district with 5,000 student FTEs administers the US History, World History, Biology, and Chemistry interim assessments to 250 students (each), that equates to 1,000 tests administered and therefore satisfies this participation requirement.

63


5. The ISD/district agrees to complete MTRAx data collection by December 15, 2013, complete an updated technology readiness planning process designated by the department by June 30, 2014, and install any hardware and/or software provided by this grant that is necessary to achieve “low effort” in monitoring and reporting technology readiness at the ISD, district, and/or school building level with the understanding that electronics and/or software provided by the grant will not negatively interfere with nor control ISD/district’s servers, routers, switches or, WAN equipment determined necessary. The grant will not require the installation of hardware or software under these participation requirements after June 30, 2014.

64


6. The district agrees to participate in any necessary surveys sent out by the TRIG operations office to inform the work of the various activities (maximum of three per fiscal year, October 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014).

7. The district understands that its ISD must also agree to these requirements for the district to receive participation funds.
