How will we know when we have arrived?

Section 2 Framework Questions 1 & 2 1.Where are we now? (p. 9) Appendix F is a form for educators to use in judging the current state of technology programs within their schools and school districts. The final column of the form will be of use in evaluation, which is discussed in Section 5 of Realizing Excellence.

Section 4

Section 4 Articulating an Initial Vision Consider the technology program’s potential for advancing student technological literacy. Consider the technology program’s potential for advancing student technological literacy. Consider the purpose of the technology program. The purpose should incorporate why technological literacy is important to the community in which the program serves and society in general. Consider the purpose of the technology program. The purpose should incorporate why technological literacy is important to the community in which the program serves and society in general. Record the technology program’s initial vision in the Structuring Standards- Based Technology Programs Workbook. Record the technology program’s initial vision in the Structuring Standards- Based Technology Programs Workbook. (pp )

Section 4 Forming Committees Realizing Excellence suggests that technology program leadership organize two committees to provide a system of “checks and balances”.... In some situations, however, it may be more practical to have a single committee that serves in both capacities. (p. 37)

Section 4 Technology Program Committee Working group that establishes the focus and direction of the technology program. (pp )

Section 4 Technology Program Advisory Committee Working committee that oversees the technology program and assists the Technology Program Committee as it makes important decisions, ensuring that school and community concerns are addressed. (p. 39)

School change is a collective endeavor; therefore, people do this most effectively in the presence of others (Lambert, 1998, p. 9) School change is a collective endeavor; therefore, people do this most effectively in the presence of others (Lambert, 1998, p. 9)

Section 4 Technology Program Mission Statement The technology program mission statement goes beyond a definition of the program. It incorporates the overarching vision of what the community believes about technological literacy and its importance. (pp )

Section 4 Long-Term Goals and Strategies Goals Goals Goals define the Technology Program Committee’s expectations for change. The Technology Program Committee should write goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely. (pp )

Section 4 Long-Term Goals and Strategies Strategies Strategies Strategies identify actions and define the specific activity to be accomplished. Ideally, strategies should be attainable in one year. The Technology Program Committee is encouraged not to define strategies that will require more than 3-5 years to complete. (p. 45)

Section 4 Organizing Principles Organizing Principles Organizing Principles Can be derived from standards and benchmarks and provide a method of grouping standards and benchmarks together to form specific courses. (pp )

Section 4 Write a Program Statement Clearly define the overall purpose and function of the program. p. 48

Section 4 Solicit Administrative Approval Once the technology program mission statement, goals, organizing principles and program statement are developed, the Technology Program Committee will find it beneficial to receive initial “approval” from higher administration in writing. (p. 49)

Section 4 Identify and Document Courses The Responsibility Matrix Form, Appendix G, can be used by the Technology Program Committee to identify the standards that will be taught at each grade level. (p. 50)

Section 4 Identify and Document Courses Margin note: Ensuring that programs are standards-based does not necessarily require “starting from scratch.” Comparing where you are now with where you want to go will help the Technology Program Committee determine what changes are needed to realize standards-based technology programs. In some instances, elements of a program will demand adjustment; in other instances, entire programs may need to be transformed (p. 49).

Section 4 –Action Plans (pp ) –Budget (pp. 55) –Secure Resources (56-58)

Section 4 Implement, Monitor, and Adjust Implement, Monitor, and Adjust (pp ) –Establish and Utilize a Management System –Provide In-Service and Hire Teachers –Allocate Funds and Other Resources –Schedule Courses and Recruit Students –Market and Promote the Study of Technology Evaluate and Revise (pp and Chapter 5) Evaluate and Revise (pp and Chapter 5)

Section 4 Concludes with... Making technological literacy requires a strong system of support.... composed of teachers, students, parents, administrators, and community members. (p. 62)
