TOPIC 1 - Technology Integration into Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Elements Action Steps – Year 1 Guidance – Years 2 & 3 Educational Technology Standards The educational technology set of standards created by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) is the preeminent set of standards available to educators to improve teaching and learning. The standards are defined in the Resources section of this plan. The ISTE standards, including the student, teacher, and administrator standards, are a critical component of the technology integration process. Standards are typically included in the curriculum writing and lesson plan development process. Adopt the ISTE Standards for students, teachers, and administrators. Adopt the ISTE standards for Technology Coaches. LEARN will create and adhere to a process of assessing the impact of ISTE Standards adoption on student performance and the ability of staff and frequency of technology integration in classrooms. Technology Integration Model The educational technology integration model SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition) created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura is the preeminent model available to schools for successful integration of technology into instruction. The model is defined in the Resources section of this plan. An integration model is a critical component of the curriculum writing and instructional improvement process. Adopt the SAMR technology integration model across all schools. Review and identify current performance of the SAMR model and other possible integration models as needed. Assessment of Staff and Students A measure of a student’s ability to use technology for learning is critical. Without identification of a student’s current level of ability, it will be more difficult for educators to design and facilitate learning experiences for the student. A measure of a teacher’s ability to use technology for teaching and learning is critical. Without identification of a teacher’s current level of ability to integrate The district Technology Committee will research, create, and adopt an assessment/evaluation tool for identifying the essential conditions necessary to optimize technology integration. Assess and modify assessments as needed. NOTE: Performance assessments should be used when possible or when more widely available. This allows students to demonstrate their abilities and allows educators to
