Purpose for Process: Provide quality data for data-informed decisions including:

  • Purchasing – tailored for needed replacement and/or innovations
  • Design of professional development – tailored to campus need
  • Classroom support – tailored to teacher need

Building Capacity: Each challenge presents an opportunity to learn. When applicable, the educator requesting technology support should plan to learn the technology skills involved for problem solving the technology issue in order to strengthen our capacity as a team of educators.

Two Types of Requests:

  1. Technology Repairs (Hardware, etc.)
  2. Instructional Support (Acquiring skills and tools for the 21st Century Classroom where learners: Create, Collaborate, Communicate, and think Critically- the 4C’s)
