Butte Falls School District is a small, rural school district in southern Oregon. It serves about 185 students in grades K –12. Using technology, we will help students achieve competency in the Oregon Educational Technology Standards and acquire Essential Skills for an Oregon Diploma. This is a condensed overview of this extensive technology plan. It will include Needs Assessment, alignment with state and national standards, and ongoing evaluation.

Currently students use technology primarily for research, word processing and presentations. Technology is also used for assessments, to practice skills and create and proof documents. Students are moving to electronic portfolios. The students also use technology to access their grades, colleges and their teachers, submit assignments and to prepare for college entrance exams. A recent needs assessment and data inquiry process concluded that technology is not being used fully for the following possible reasons: Lack of technology funding Lack of communication of the technology plan Technology in the district needs to be relevant in students lives outside of the classroom Not every child has access to a computer at home Lack of sufficient numbers of up-to-date computers and other technology in the district Lack technology integration Additionally, in 2009 – 2010 began implementing the professional development for a “Writing Across the Curiculum,”program to be implemented in 2010 – This K – 12 writing program is a research based, systems approach, uses of new web resources aimed at ensuring at least 60% of all students and all sub-populations will meet or exceed Oregon Writing Standards.

Bandwidth a. We currently have approximately 3.2 MBPS bandwidth. Web hosted applications: a. We are using the web access services of Edline. This company provides web hosting, content management, information portals, and tools for classroom management, gradebook, notification, survey creation and administration, analytics, virtual storage and related technologies. These technologies allow parents to access their student’s attendance and grading information easily. b. Renaissance Learning – Accelerated Reading is used by most classrooms to improve student reading comprehensions and vocabulary skills. c. We currently provide CIPA compliant for students and would like to continue doing so. d. While all of our Internet connections are accessed through CIPA compliant filtering, teachers can still develop high quality lesson plans accessing the Internet. Teachers and students are encouraged to submit advantageous websites for removing blocks and opening for use.

Software: a. Most of the new software the district will purchase is productivity software. We are currently using Microsoft Office 2003 throughout the district and hope to partially upgrade to Office 2009 in the 2009 – 2010 school year. Hardware: a. At this time, two of five teachers at the elementary school and four of seven at the high school have laptops; the others have their own desktop machines. There are five up to date projectors for use on a rotating basis. b. We continue to make the best use of district funds by procuring computers from government agencies and revising them for up to date use. We have two servers and one Network attached storage device. We are in need of more network attached storage and parts for updating donated computers.

Budget Resources a. For the 2009 – 2012 triennium, the school district has Title 1A School Improvement funds, Title IIA and IID funds and the general fund. We will use 90% of our IID funds for professional development during this period. Our process for prioritizing technology needs and requests is based on the capacity of the hardware, software or professional development opportunity to further student academic achievement and/or staff and student technology. The new Oregon Educational Technology Standards and diploma requirements are on the forefront of the Technology committee’s list of criteria to support. BFSD will use ERate discounted telecommunications services for telephone lines and T1 lines. Last year we doubled our bandwidth by adding a second T1 line, bringing us up to 3MBPS. This still leaves us short of the 10MBPS minimum suggested by Oregon Education Enterprise Steering Committee. These T1s connect us with Southern Oregon ESD and they provide Internet access and CIPA compliant filtering for the district. When the cost of increased bandwidth becomes more affordable, Bandwidth increase will be a top priority. There are telephones in every classroom in the district to assure student safety. Voice mail is available for every teacher and policies are in place to use these tools for parent/school communications.

By June of 2012, we will improve the performance of all students at Butte Falls School District to 80% meeting or exceeding standards in mathematics as evidenced by 2012 Math OSAT scores. By June of 2012, we will improve the performance of all students at Butte Falls School District to 80% meeting or exceeding standards in English Language Arts as evidenced by 2012 English Language Arts OSAT scores. By June of 2012, we will improve the performance in of all students in writing of all students at Butte Falls School District to 60% meeting or exceeding standards as evidenced by 2012 OSAT and writing sample scores.

Standard 8: All students will use technology A. All of the students at Butte Falls School District have access to technology in the school. We have two stationary computer labs and one mobile lab available with roughly 30 computers in each. All of our teachers have and use digital are required to develop proficiency in typing and keyboarding. We are in the process of upgrading our T-1 line to a 10Mb Ethernet line to increase capacity to meet the technology needs of our teachers and our students. We have productivity and creative software for our students to uses and are beginning to use online applications to broaden our students awareness of what is currently available. Students in grades 7 – 12 are required to develop and present portfolios with electronic documents and multimedia work samples. We have purchased digital cameras and video cameras for students to do videos, newsletters, original digital artwork, presentations and a yearbook, and we test online in all available areas.

The Butte Falls School District is committed to helping students, staff and community members understand that technology is a critical tool in raising student achievement and in improving all aspects of instructional delivery. Ensuring that technology is integrated into the K-12 curriculum and continuous improvement practices requires monitoring and collaboration between the curriculum director and teaching staff. Aligning Butte Falls School District Technology Plan goals with the Continuous Improvement Plan will help ensure that appropriate technologies are: accessible to all staff and students integrated into K-12 curriculum, classroom instruction, and assessment practices across the district understood and supported by teachers, administrators, families, and community partners.

Student Learning and Academic Achievement – Use technology to improve student learning and resultant academic achievement including technology literacy. By 2010, 80% of all students by grade 10 will be technologically literate based on the Oregon Educational Technology Standards and the Essential Skills for an Oregon Diploma. We will increase this by 10% each year through 2012.

Professional Development - Develop a technologically competent staff with skills to integrate technology into the typical instructional day using high quality, ongoing professional development. By % of our staff will participate in instructional technology training and effectively integrate technology into their curriculum. We will increase this by 10% each year through We will use 90% of our Title IID funds for professional development.

Infrastructure, Maintenance and Improvement – Provide infrastructure, communication tools and other technology to support instruction, communication and administration. By 2010, 90% of staff will be able to competently utilize communication tools and other technology to support instruction and communication. We will increase this by 5% each year through 2012.

Ongoing assessment of the success of this plan and the progress toward the goals will be aligned with the Oregon Educational Technology Standards and the Oregon Diploma Essential Skills requirements. In addition we will make use of the following documents; Alignment of the Oregon Educational Technology Standards to the 2007 National Educational Technology Standards for Students and Oregon Diploma Essential Skills that could be addressed using the Oregon Educational Technology Standards and Technology Foundation Standards for Students.

This plan proposes to frequently assess staff and student technology literacy (Fall and Spring) which will allow for pre and post- assessments. The plan proposes to improve and centralize student assessment data collection and analysis and make it available on line so that teachers can make better curriculum and instructional decisions sooner. We will be using the Oregon Data Project resources to accomplish this. We have and will continue to use technology literacy assessments to assess all Technology Literacy of 8th graders called Simple Assessment, until the state provides us with other tools. Data collection will also include OAKS assessment data, visual inspections of classrooms and student work, lesson plan and standards based projects review by the Superintendent, Web access update record and work samples. This data will be evaluated semi-annually by the Technology Committee and the Site Council. This data and the evaluation will provide the basis for revisions in the plan, allocation of technology resources and prioritizing of the needs and requests for hardware, software and professional development related to technology.
