Developing a Combined Information ad Technology Plan

The Plan Workshop is designed to allow districts concentrated time to work on their Information & Technology Plan. DPI staff will provide a brief overview of plan contents and then highlight areas of concern or areas districts need additional help. The majority of the time will be spent working on your plan. DPI staff will be available to assist, troubleshoot and provide assistance. Areas highlighted on the workday will be Grade 8 Literacy requirement, policies necessary for the plan and data synthesis. Other areas will be added as requested by participants.

Teams of district Technology Committees will:
• Review scientifically-based research and best practices for information and technology literacy
• Analyze their current library media and technology plan or combined plans in regard to its support of classroom learning, student achievement and professional proficiency in the area of information processing and technology literacy, integration of ITL standards within the context of content curriculum and ongoing, systematic professional development.
• Utilize the planning model to clarify where they are and where they need to go in the planning process.
• Design an action plan for developing their plan.
• Share sample exemplary plan sections and district planning ideas with workshop participants. The six major plan content areas are:

o Research
o Mission/Vision
o Data/Needs Analysis
o Goals, Objectives, Action Plans
o 3-year Budget
o Dissemination & Monitoring
o School Board Policies

Please bring all data that you will need in order to work on your Tech Plan. Districts may find it more advantageous to bring one laptop per team.
