Evaluation Strategies

1. Interviews with committees including the Curriculum Advisory Committee and the Technology Steering Committee
2. Surveys of all district staff
3. Surveys of students in grades 3-12
4. Work session with district administrators
5. Individual site tours and interviews with building staff, specifically those staff that routinely use and work with technology and building administrators
6. A comprehensive inventory of our workstations
7. Site Tours: The Director of Information Technology, the Secondary Instructional Technology Coordinator, and the Elementary Instructional Technology Coordinator make an official annual tour of school sites to review progress and discuss future needs with building staff. Specifically, each building’s technology coordinator(s), media specialist, and technology associate(s) are asked to highlight successes, challenges, and future needs to effectively integrate instructional technology. Applications of technology in the learning process are most often highlighted.
