Long-Range Plan for Technology

After analyzing the Long-Range Plan for Technology, I acquired an immense amount of knowledge about the plan that was previously unknown. From 2006 – 2020 the implementation of Phases I, II, and III will take place. This comprehensive strategic plan covers the plan’s four domains which consist of Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support, and Infrastructure for Technology. This plan encompasses the knowledge and skills teacher must obtain in order to empower learners to acquire the skills needed to thrive in a technology-rich society. In addition, this plan addresses the need for professional development for teachers to stay connected to the latest technology trends. The plan also addresses leadership and administrative roles in the implementation of the technology plan, as well as the infrastructure. The Long-Range Plan for Technology is designed to make ensure equitable access to technology for all learners.

As an instructional leader who is guiding technology use and integration on campus, I can utilize the Long-Range Plan for Technology as a framework to guide implementation and decision making. This plan will allow me to study the needs of my campus and its infrastructure to determine specific areas that are in need of improvement. In addition, this new acquired knowledge has shown me that in order to meet the needs of the 21st Century learner; teachers must be up to date with the latest technology to create an innovative learning environment. As an instructional leader, I can provide relevant and applicable staff development to support the teacher’s needs.
