Goals and Benchmark

Goals and benchmark are absent or unclear.

Goals and benchmark are equipment based and not linked to learning outcomes; are not measureable; are incomplete; are difficult to understand; are unobtainable.

Goals and benchmark are broad and comprehensive, but are not completely clear. Individual school goals are tied to county goals, but are not readily obtainable or measurable.

Goals and benchmark are broad and comprehensive, addressing teaching and learning needs. Goals are clear, attainable, and measurable. Individual school goals are tied to county goals and define how they are met.

*Note: This part sounds more like objectives in the student needs section of our tech plan. Some editing needed for "Student Needs" to incorporate this information.

Goals and Benchmark

Goals and benchmark is present with identified strategies, benchmarks, evaluation, and responsibility, but not funding.

Goals and benchmark is present with identified strategies, *Note: keep these benchmarks, evaluation, funding, elements together and responsibility. or separate

Budget

Budget is absent or unclear.

Budget is present with funding identified as Splost, E-Rate, general funds, Title I, Title IIA, and Budget is present, but funding professional learning without sources and amount are not stated. amount(s) stated.

Budget is present with funding identified as Splost, E-Rate, general funds, Title I, Title IIA, and professional learning with amount(s) stated.

When reading this, I am confused about the goals and benchmark goals. Are these for the curriculum or technology plan for the district? Can we rely on someone from the Technology department to become a reference? If we can email someone for input and insight about this plan, it would be wonderful? Sherri can we consult someone with questions? I think these elements should be separate because it includes strategies for telecom. and inform. tech., evaluation (assessments), and funding (budget). In other words when referring to the five elements of the State of Georgia mandated school tech. plan, this section of the rubric covers more than one element. **Please give me feedback, Stephanie Reid I compared the areas with 5 elements and I think it meets the following element. (please give feedback)

Communication and Marketing

Professional development is absent or unclear. Interoperability and redeployment procedures are absent or unclear.

Professional development is present without identified individual (s) who train teachers and online training resource(s). Interoperability and redeployment procedures are present, but incomplete.

Professional development is present with identified individual(s) who train teachers, but not online training resource(s). Interoperability and redeployment procedures are present with hardware specifications.

Interoperability and redeployment procedures

Professional development is present with identified individual (s) who train teachers and online training resource(s). Interoperability and redeployment procedures are present with hardware and software specifications.

I think this, Interperability and redeployment procedures, Internet Use Policy, CIPA Complicance, and the Internet Safety Policy can be combined based on #3 for the 5 elements of a GA. State. Also, I compared the areas with 5 elements and I think it meets the following element. #3(please give feedback)te Technology Plan. I compared the areas with 5 elements of GA. State Tech. Plans and I think it meets the following element. #5(please give feedback) I compared the areas with 5 elementsGA. State Tech.
