Unlocking Excellence with Keys to Quality: Align Appropriate Technologies within Your School's Strategic Improvement Plan
Ware, Ann
Learning & Leading with Technology, v36 n8 p22-23 Jun-Jul 2009
The leadership of today's schools supports both students' academic success and their preparation for employment in a global work environment. As stimulus funds become available to U.S. school districts, it remains critical that technology leaders align technology acquired with those funds with system-, school-, and classroom-identified student academic outcomes. To align appropriate technology solutions, it is increasingly important that technology leaders have a common language with which to communicate about the school improvement planning process and proven, research-based strategies. The research-based resources within the Georgia Department of Education's (GaDOE) Keys to Quality: Unlocking Excellence through Georgia School Standards provide a platform upon which technology leaders can build such a common language. Technology leaders can improve the process by considering several of the action steps presented in this article. (Contains 6 online resources.)
