Executive SummaryTechnology supports the strong tradition and goals of excellence that the Russell Independent Schools system hasfostered over the years. Our mission states, “We will commit resources and staff to enable students to develop thenecessary skills that empower all students to pursue academic excellence as demonstrated in achievement of stateand national standards.” Our district is therefore committed to capitalizing on all available funding sources to ensurethe priorities established by our district are accomplished. Our district has adopted 4 main focus points for ourschools: 1) It is ALL about the kids, 2) Communication, 3) Transparency, 4) Accountability. In the crafting of thisplan, these focus points are the benchmarks for our decisions. The vision for the Technology Program at RussellIndependent Schools is to support our schools in accomplishing the district’s mission, while integrating 21 st Centurytechnology that will empower the learning community to become information-literate critical thinkers and achievelifelong learning goals in their personal, educational, and workplace environment. Goals for this plan are to continueto refresh and update our workstations to allow for more student based project production and to support ourdistrict’s commitment to data driven instruction (MAP testing, EOC testing, etc.), to expand our e-reader offeringsacross the district and ensure that students are proficient in the borrowing/lending process, continue to expand ourdigital citizenship instruction to include student-led instruction, and include Device Neutral Assignments in each ofour courses. Professional Development will aid the Teachers in using the students’ personal devices to instructinnovatively and effectively. Needs, in order to make this happen, are proper staffing for our department, andsufficient funding for this expansion. Priorities for this year will include the need of proper staffing of ourdepartment, as well as expansion of BYOD initiative in our district, and the continuation of the integration oftechnology into classrooms to further authentic learning tasks and improve student achievement. We will alsoThe Kentucky Education Technology System (KETS) Master Plan 2013-2018 outlines the standards that have beenset for completion of this phase. Russell Independent School District is committed to meeting the requirements of theplan by making choices that will enhance learning within the p/Pages/default.aspxThe National Education Technology Plan was also consulted in the writing of this ucation-technology-planPlanning Process and MethodologyIn order to implement a comprehensive district technology plan for the safe, effective integration of technology thatwill provide appropriate guidelines for acquisition, training, and support for staff, students, and the community, thefollowing steps will be taken: Survey and research the most effective practices for technology integration in schools. STCs from each school will gather needs survey from their buildings for initial plan-writing process. Recommend technology plan be embedded in the Comprehensive School Improvement Plan at eachschool, with input from all stakeholders. Provide adequate technology resources to support students, staff, and community. Utilize Professional Growth Plans of district employees to determine professional development needs,and then provide that training for district employees to equip them with the knowledge of ways tointegrate technology into their instruction of Core Standards. Update the Russell Independent District Technology plan annually, based upon evaluation data,research, and committee review. Disseminate information to assist faculty and staff in purchase of home computers and software. The technology department will provide consultation to Family Resource Center on support andtechnical purchases. Professional Development Training for district employees enabling them to update and maintain schooland classroom web sites to include relevant information to school and community. Update and maintain the district web site and other social networking tools to include relevantinformation to school community and solicit feedback from the community.The Technology Committee will review these steps to evaluate their implementation annually, revising the plan asneeded.2
In the 2013-14 Russell Independent Technology Plan, all goals were met, withthe exception of 1.8, Employ sufficient technical support staff to maintain hardware,software, and the wide/local area networks. BYOD initiative was launched,successfully. Many of the goals of the 13-14 plan are on-going, and are included againin this plan.3
Current Technology and ResourcesThe assessment of Russell Independent’s current technology and technical staff resources to ensuresuccessful and effective uses of technology shows the following findings:1) Technologies already in place include a wired and wireless network throughout the district (guestand secure access); we have an adequate phone system (phone access in each classroom), butdo not have voice mail capability; we have a video surveillance system, and visitors must bescreened via a buzzer and security camera prior to entrance into the building. Our videosurveillance system as connected with e911 in our county and regular drills are conducted toensure connectivity; we have 70% pc and 30% Macs at the desktops; and the majority of oursoftware is internet based.2) The condition of current technologies is such that we currently have a 25 MB connection to ourstate’s broadband access. At times we exceed this usage, and at the time of the writing of thisplan, we are on track to increase this connection to 200 MB in March of 2014. We also havesufficient battery backup power for each of our wiring closets. Our wireless system is at fullcoverage for each building, but we have not achieved saturation for the buildings. We currentlyemploy a Chief Information Officer, and a Network Administrator full time, and have employeesthat are working full time in other capacities, who serve as School Technology Coordinators. Westruggle to maintain and repair things in a timely manner, while conducting adequate amounts oftraining for faculty/staff within the confines of our current staffing.3) Accessibility of technology for learners is aided by our BYOD policies and wireless connectivity.We utilize classroom sets of wireless devices at RPS, and RMS. All schools have open labs andlibrary accessibility.4) Training for our technical staff is achieved through state CIO meetings, KySTE conferences, andISTE Conferences.4
Curriculum and Instructional Integration GoalsThe Integration of Technology into Curricula and Instruction is being done through 21st Century Classroom tools, personally and district-ownedmobile devices, and innovative classroom instructors. All classrooms currently have projectors, networked computers, and document cameras.Russell Primary, Russell-McDowell Intermediate, and Russell Middle School Classrooms all have SMARTBoards.Goal 1Russell Independent Classroom teachers will utilize our BYOD Policies and assign Device Neutral Assignments encouraging the use of student projectbased learning on their various devices.Action Plan: tcomeIndicatorTimelineDNA Campaign willbe run utilizing e-mail,posters in teacher’slounge, and a monthlytechnology prizedrawn for deviceneutral assignmentssubmitted to thetechnology officeStudents will beinstructed through theuse of a DeviceNeutral at least once anine weeks in grades3-12Student WorkMonthly/QuarterlyLesson Plans/Rubricsin CIITS7/1/14 – 6/30/15Sustain and expandiPod Touch and iPadinitiative.

These tools caninclude, but are not limited to: LCD projector, document camera, networked computer, SMARTBoard, Airliner, Classroom Response Systems, ormobile devices.Action Plan: Strategies/ActivitiesStrategy/ActivityTools allowing forimmediatefeedback/teachermonitoring will beused to monitorstudent progress(i.e.Socrative, PollEverywhere)CIITS RelatedResources (andResources likethem) will be usedin Daily Instruction.InstructionalOutcomeImmediatefeedback will enablefollowup instructionthe next day to bemolded to studentneeds.IndicatorHard copies ofsample feedback.Timeline7/1/14– 6/30/15Person(s)ResponsibleFunding SourceStudentAcheivementCoachesPrincipalsUsage reports fromRelated ResourcesLesson Plans inCIITS7/1/14– 6/30/15Debbie FinleyStudentAchievementCoaches6
Curriculum and Instructional Integration Goals – EvaluationAll faculty and staff are required to integrate technology into Curricula and Instruction daily. The focus is that this integration will bestudent centered, rather than teacher centered. . Formal observation instruments include the Standard X criteria, and the instructionalsupervisors will be “looking for” various ways to effectively integrate technology into their daily teaching. Informal observations (walkthroughs) will also add to the anecdotal data that supervisors will collect throughout the year to evaluate our implementation of technologyintegration. This data will be debriefed after Instructional Rounds, and feedback will be given to teachers after both informal and formalobservations. Student work will also be shared in grade level meetings, as well as department meetings. If the “look for” items are notobserved or student work does not evidence the integration of technology into the curriculum, instructional coaches will work with theteacher to develop an action plan for infusing this type of instruction into the daily routine.7
Student Technology Literacy GoalsGoal 1Implement and assess a spiral curriculum for students that integrates technology in an engaged learning environment, designed to meet local, state,and national standards of excellence in a legal and ethical manner for the promotion of citizenship and technological leadership.Action tionalOutcomeIndicator2.1 Ensure thattechnology isintegrated using avariety of strategiesand tools to enhancethe K-12 curriculumaccording to stateguidelines, theNational EducationalTechnology Standardsfor Students (NETS).This will beaccomplished throughmonthly, and jobembedded PD.*Open Labs will beutilized for ProjectBased LearningActivities in eachSchool reflectingSBDM InstructionalPractice Policies.*Flexible Library willbe utilized in eachschool*The district willmaintain a blog/wikiserver for classroomuseTeacher Evaluation2.2 Assess technologyintegration using stateand district rubrics.All teachers andadministrators willhave access to theKentucky TeacherTechnologyFramework to guideintegration.All DistrictWalkthroughinstruments will havetechnology integrationas a “look for”.Timeline7/1/14– 6/30/15Professional GrowthPlan ReviewsPerson(s)ResponsibleBuilding PrincipalsGreta CastoFunding SourceNo additional cost todistrict.Open Lab Schedulesand the Student WorkProducedFlexible Library Use(where available) andthe Student WorkProducedMonitoring of theWiki/Blog Server7/1/14– 6/30/15Greta CastoRobin ClayNo additional cost todistrict.Jill BanksDiana WiremanJulie Gullett8

This will beaccomplished through multiple means: Flexibly Scheduled Library Use, Wiki/Blog Server, Open Lab Usage, and Review of StudentWork. This will be monitored and evaluated by Library Usage Logs, Wiki/Blog Entries, Open Lab Logs, and Teacher Conferences aboutStudent Work. All teachers will be evaluated and their use of PBL will be a portion of their demonstration of Standard X. StudentTechnology Leadership Program Teams will compete and be assessed in various categories (including Student Technology Literacy Skills)at both Regional and State Competitions. This student work will also be exhibited at School Showcases. Each school is required to haveparticipation in STLP. Technology Literacy Skills are a byproduct of PBL and STLP projects. In order to actually assess technologyintegration and technology proficiency, the Kentucky Teacher Technology Framework and Simple Assessment will be employed. TheKentucky Teacher Technology Framework will be utilized with each teacher that is scheduled to be evaluated this year. SimpleAssessment will be administered at the beginning and the end of the year. The number of proficient students, staff, and administratorswill increase by our goal of 10% over 2013-14.10

Formal observation instruments include the Standard X criteria, and theinstructional supervisors will be “looking for” examples of the technology professional development focus items listed in this plan.Informal observations (walk throughs) will also add to the anecdotal data that supervisors will collect throughout the year to evaluate ourimplementation of our professional development focus items. This data will be debriefed after Instructional Rounds, and feedback will begiven to teachers after both informal and formal observations. If changes need to be made to PGPs after observations, principals will meetwith the teacher and the changes will be made.12
