Using their Metiri Dimensions21 framework we are in the "exploration" or "scaling up" level on each of the seven dimensions. Though we have much room to grow, we also heard how the work we have done and continue to do has positioned us for future success. We began by identifying our District Outcomes and Indicators with a focus on Habits of Mind and thinking skills. Our curriculum has this focus, K-12. We now need to embed technology tools into this curriculum to provide opportunities for young people to become literate and fluent with the tools and with accessing and using information. Cheryl reinforced the way we have approached this work as opposed to purchasing technology and then trying to figure out what to do with it.
The recommendations from this audit, the NETS, our technology plan, and our curriculum development and review process are the road map for our journey that results in:
Quality Learning
Every day
in
Every classroom
for
Every child
It is exciting to have our efforts affirmed and praised and even more exciting to know that what we have built has the capacity to support our journey to 21st Century Learning.
