Why aren’t our students performing better on this assessment?
What can we do?
If we expect different results in the future, we have to change what we are

Research supports the idea that: Technology is the Key We now have the technology to implement change.
Our goals:
• To increase the number of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students who meet or exceed the CRCT performance standards in science by a minimum of 3% by 2013.
• To increase the number of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students who meet or exceed the CRCT performance standards in social studies by a minimum of 3% by 2013.
• To increase the number of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students achieving mastery/competency on the OAS Technology Literacy Test by 3% by 2013.

How will we know if the technology integration plan is working?
Student interviews
Student portfolios
Anecdotal reports
Lesson plan checks by administrators
Teacher discussion
Administrative observations
Rubric use for teachers and for students
Could this be us in the future?
