Vision Mitchell County Schools understands the task before us of producing globally competitive students. In our district, where seven plants have shut down in the last five years, now more than ever, our students must be able to compete on the global playing field. By following our long range plans, we are securing the needed connectivity, hardware, and software to assist our students as they become global citizens. Our vision over the next four years will address specific components, such as providing administration, media specialists, and classroom teachers with additional training for the IMPACT model. As a result, we are certain to see more integration of core academic areas with information skills and technology skills. Through those integrated efforts, we will encourage global exchange among our students and faculty members. Using these global interactions, our students and faculty members will become part of the global community we’ve all been reading so much about. Additionally, we will continue to expand our resources and support for online learning opportunities through programs such as APEX Learning and NCVPS. With these tools, students can enhance their educational experience in ways our district could not otherwise afford to offer. For example, our students can study foreign languages not available in our district. Moreover, students can recover courses and credit through such programs which will encourage them to stay in school to complete their education. Only with an education can they hope to be successful in the global workplace. In order to produce globally competitive students, our district must be led by 21st Century professionals. Several teachers from two schools have already attended workshops hosted by World View at UNC-CH. Our vision will expand that training to include teams from every school in our district. Staff development in the integration/use of technology will be offered based on teacher/student needs. By following the IMPACT model, our teachers and media specialists will provide students with challenging assignments by integrating components of technology and information skills. As technologies advance, we will continue to provide up-to-date training concerning legal and ethical standards for students and teachers. Efforts to help our students be healthy and responsible will continue. By using the latest technologies available, our vision is for our students to be as safe and secure as possible; whether it is on the bus, in the classroom, or sitting in front of a computer screen. Over the next four years, our vision includes extending our IP telephony system to all schools in the district, upgrading and installing surveillance systems, teaching and modeling high standards of digital etiquette, and fully complying with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). Our MTAC group will provide the innovative leadership needed to guide our schools. With representatives from each school and regular meetings, our leadership will focus on professional growth opportunities, hardware, and software needs in our district so that we may better incorporate technology and


media skills across all disciplines at every grade level. Administrators from each school will closely examine Individual Growth Plans for evidence of technology training, use, and integration, as well as global awareness. As we enter these next four years, we envision a district reliant on Web 2.0 applications for their students and their parents. This will enhance communication and improve student performance, along with parent involvement. Moreover, we will pursue partnership opportunities to address funding issues for technology needs. Finally, our district will be supported by 21st Century systems. We will strive to update policies as needed through our MTAC committee. Each member of the committee is responsible for communicating needs from their specific school or group so that we may better budget for infrastructure, hardware, software, connectivity, personnel, security, and communication/collaboration tools. These needs will be evident throughout our technology plan as we request funding from local, state, private, and federal sources.


NC public schools will produce globally competitive students. Current Situation Facts:

• The Mitchell County School District uses multiple technologies in all aspects of student learning and achievement. Technology helps us with benchmark assessments, credit and course recovery, online remediation, and academic placement. We also use technologies to support the 21st Century Learning Skills. Technology is paramount in keeping parents informed of student achievement and educational expectations. Student achievement is supported by various technologies. Interactive white boards, data projectors, Interwrite pads, document cameras, scanners, digital cameras, as well as access to classroom and lab computers with Internet connectivity and state-of-the-art software/services, promote high student achievement. Every classroom in every school has Internet access and every school in our district has a least one computer lab totaling approximately 1200 workstations district-wide. Most of our computer labs utilize flexible scheduling. Many schools have multi-media carts containing a laptop computer, a digital camera, a document camera, and a data projector for classroom checkout if/when lab space is not available.

• In grades 3-8, an application called Test Magic has been implemented to

perform quarterly assessments. Teachers and administrators disaggregate the data to target specific students who may need additional help or services. Several schools use STAR Reading, a program that assesses student growth and achievement. Schools are also using EVAAS to predict student performance. Based on those predictions, focus groups for intervention are formed.

• Our district is integrating the IMPACT Model for Media and Technology.

With the addition of media assistants at each school, more flexible access to technology resources has become available. Of our 8 schools, 4 operate on total flexible access. The other schools are making strides in this direction. With the addition of more labs at the schools, flexible access time in the computer lab setting has also increased. With added personnel in the media centers, time for collaboration between the media specialists and teachers has increased, thus allowing for more meaningful student learning.

• Currently, we provide distance learning opportunities for students in

grades 8-12. Our district utilizes APEX On-line Learning and NCVPS for credit recovery, course recovery and honors/AP courses. Students may also earn early college credit through the NC Learn and Earn initiative and local community college dual enrollment.


• Staff development is offered regularly, and is delivered either online, in

classes/workshops/seminars, or by one-on-one highly individualized instruction. Digital resources, including NC WiseOwl, United Streaming, teacher-hosted websites, wikis, blogs, Internet, email, etc. are helpful in the facilitation of staff development.

• Our district promotes global exchange and partnerships. Some of our

classes utilize webcams and programs such as Skype and language translator applications to communicate globally. We also encourage teachers to help promote student awareness of global issues including hunger, economics, agriculture and society by employing the vast resources that the Internet and Web 2.0 tools make available. Channel One also provides global awareness through newscasts and specialty programming which highlights different cultures.

• We provide access to assistive/adaptive technologies including read-aloud

software, translation software, touch screens and translator pens, etc.

NC public schools will be led by 21st Century professionals. Current Situation Facts:

• Our district requires each teacher to have 3.0 units (30 hours) credit in technology during their 5-year renewal cycle.

• Our media specialists and technology specialists provide in-house training

for faculty/staff and administrators on a wide variety of technology topics including, but not limited to the following: Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access, Publisher, and Outlook, Adobe Photoshop, Website Design software - MS FrontPage, DreamWeaver, and SharpSchool, Interactive whiteboard software – Hitachi Starboard & SmartBoard, and Interwrite. We utilize interactive whiteboards, data projectors, notebook computers, desktop computers, document cameras, digital cameras, and IP telephony conferencing and web-conferencing in the delivery of the training. Hours for such training are documented and teachers receive CEU credit. Occasionally, representatives from companies will provide in-service training as part of the software/hardware purchase. Teachers can also enroll in online courses from WRESA or LearnNC to receive more in-depth training on certain topics. Our district provides access to online staff development software (SEA System) allowing faculty/staff to complete staff development requests, effectiveness surveys, and reimbursement requests, if applicable. Moreover, faculty and staff can check their licensure status and continuing education credits through the human resource management system. The exceptional children’s department uses CECAS. All purchase orders are submitted from eProcurement, unless the vendor does not participate.

• Our district issues every employee a picture ID card which they wear for identification and they use to scan-in/clock-in. We use an employee timekeeping system which is integrated with our payroll system. Each employee is also provided with an email address.

• All administrators have received training in ABC Tools to aide in the disaggregation of student data. This data is provided to the appropriate faculty members. A representative from DPI trained all administrators in the use of EVAAS. Schools are using this data to create target groups and proper placement of students in courses. The high school uses SAS in Schools. The high school principal and media specialist received training with the program and provided in-service for all faculty members.

• Teachers, media specialists and administrators from the middle and high

schools have attended training provided by World View in Chapel Hill. These training sessions addressed communication with other countries


using webcams and Skype. The sessions also provided significant global awareness training for educators. As a result, teachers have emphasized to students how the global environment will specifically affect their future education plans, as well as the jobs they may hold. Foreign language teachers utilize translation components within search engines and online reference databases. ESL students are also introduced to the various translation tools available. We utilize Google Earth and other online geo-mapping sites. Many employees have received Google Earth training and it is installed on the machines in our flexible access labs to facilitate global instruction.

Leadership will guide innovation in NC public schools. Current Situation Facts:

• Mitchell County Schools is a part of the Collaborative Project, a 21st Century Initiative of the North Carolina General Assembly. It is a three year pilot project that began in August 2007 and is administered jointly by the Public School Forum of North Carolina and the North Carolina Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education Center. The Collaborative Project seeks to strengthen participating public school systems serving low-income students in rural areas of the state. Since the focus of the project is primarily math and science, our teachers will be able to participate in high quality staff development opportunities for three years. Many of these workshops focus on enhancing instruction through technology. All of the workshops offer research based information for increasing student achievement. Several teachers, media specialists, and administrators from Mitchell High and Harris Middle schools attended training at World View Conferences at UNC-Chapel Hill.

• All principals have been presented information (by a media specialist)

about the IMPACT model. Currently, the high school and both middle schools have the scheduling flexibility to implement facets of the IMPACT model.

• Our administrators have communicated frequently (through handouts,

emails, and meetings) about the Future Ready Goals. Faculty members have been informed that the new performance appraisal instrument will be based on these goals and our district will be using the new tool in the 2009/2010 school year. As teachers develop their IGPs, evidence of implementation of strategies to address these goals should be evident.

• Many teachers participate in learning opportunities offered through the NCCAT (NC Center for the Advancement of Teaching.) Teachers recently participated in such workshops as World Religions (global issues), The Mountain (science/health & wellness), and Space Camp (math/science.) K-8 teachers participate in workshops offered through the Collaborative Project.

• With a strategy of promoting continuous improvement, our administrators

and school leaders continually seek out and provide opportunities for staff development. They inform our faculty and staff members through the use of various technologies including email, website postings, and the SEA system, etc. Teachers’ IGPs are reviewed for artifacts that show evidence of continuous improvement through on-going learning. Faculty and staff


are encouraged to share their knowledge/information with co-workers and we often utilize a “train-the-trainer” concept.

• Recognition is given to those teachers who pursue and/or achieve

National Board Certification.

• Teacher of the Year and Principal of the Year are recognized and as a means of appreciation, they receive, for their school or classroom, new technology equipment. This year (2008/09) new notebook computers, digital cameras, document cameras, data projectors, and Interwrite Pads were presented to them.

• School Improvement Teams are elected at each school every year to promote improvement.

• Teachers are encouraged to participate in online learning professional growth opportunities through such organizations as WRESA and LearnNC. Our technology capabilities (hardware, software and connectivity) support such participation. All professional growth requests must go through the SEA system to be funded. When a teacher requests to attend a conference or workshop, the principal of his/her school must approve the request. It is then sent to the district office where the Curriculum Director must approve it. When teachers return from staff development opportunities, they must complete online surveys through the SEA system documenting how they plan to implement and share what they have learned.

• Members of the MTAC committee frequently survey technology/media

needs, both formally and informally. Input is also sought from administrators and department and grade level chairs at each school.

• Our participation with the Collaborative Project includes partnerships with

the NC School of Science and Math, Teacher Academy, Public School Forum, Schools Attuned, NCAE, and Appalachian State University. We also have a partnership with Mayland Community College. All these partnerships allow for student growth, academic achievement and professional growth. These partnerships promote globally competitive students and 21st century professionals, strong leadership, and the health and wellness of our students and staff.


Leadership will guide innovation in NC public Schools. Strategic Technology Plan Strategic Priority 4: Leadership will guide innovation in NC public schools. Strategic Goal: (Please check.)

School professionals will collaborate with national and international partners to discover innovative transformational strategies that will facilitate change, remove barriers for 21st Century learning, and understand global connections.

School leaders will create a culture that embraces change and promotes dynamic continuous improvement. Educational professionals will make decisions in collaboration with parents, students, businesses, education institutions, and faith-based

and other community and civic organizations to impact student success. The public school professionals will collaborate with community colleges and public and private universities and colleges to provide

enhanced educational opportunities for students. Objective 4.1 The use of technologically improved communication tools and venues will provide more and better opportunities for local and global collaboration and awareness among school leaders, teachers, students, parents, and community.

NC public schools will be governed and supported by 21st Century systems. Current Situation Facts:

• The core team of technology personnel consists of a technology director

and 3 technology/network specialists. One of this team’s primary functions is to provide support for instructional and administrative technology utilization by students, faculty, staff, and administrators. Each school, with the exception of Buladean and Tipton Hill, has a media assistant who can help with very basic technology issues such as changing toner cartridges, moving equipment, installing software and hardware. The media specialists in each school also provide basic trouble-shooting and help with staff-development.

• Our technology plan serves as the guiding force for budget requests for funding 21st Century Systems. The technology director, along with the technology/network specialists, media specialists, principals, and the MTAC committee, annually assess the needs of the individual schools, the central office, and all supporting offices/functions. Thorough “walk-throughs” are conducted and faculty/staff are interviewed. A formal “needs assessment” is then prepared. This assessment is scrutinized to be sure that it addresses the individual needs of the schools as well as the district as a whole. This assessment is reviewed with the core stake-holders to be sure that it addresses current & future needs and that it aligns with our technology plan and budget. We utilize federal, state, and local funding sources in addition to a significant subsidy from Erate. Mitchell County Schools partners with Communities In Schools on several grant seeking endeavors. Also, several faculty members and administrators have applied for and received grant funding.

• Our wide area network is wireless. We have experienced many problems

with the wireless connectivity and are in the process of upgrading to fiber connectivity. At that time we will be increasing our Internet bandwidth from 10Mbps to 100Mbps. Our upgrade is scheduled to be completed by the end of December, 2008. We have a very sound LAN backbone with Cisco switches and routers. Our network is firewalled with a leased Cisco ASA5510 which we will be replacing in December, 2008 with a SonicWall. We currently utilize a Barracuda device for content filtering and a Packeteer Packetshaper for shaping.

• We provide in-house email services with a Microsoft Exchange server and handle email archiving through a contract with Gaggle.net that we plan to replace with an in-house archiving appliance.


• We are in the process of converting our district phone service to IP telephony. The central office and the high school presently employ this technology and we plan to implement it district-wide over the next 2 years. Cisco CallManager and Unity servers provide the architecture for our VoIP and voicemail applications.

• We maintain our websites in-house, but are currently in the process of re-designing our individual school websites and special websites. These will be hosted through a web-hosting service called Sharpschool.com. This will allow us to offer better collaboration opportunities and improved security for our web content.

• The high school has a surveillance system consisting of 2 servers and 32 motion-activated cameras. We plan to add an additional server and cameras to expand our coverage area. With the goal of ensuring the safety of students and staff, our district plans to implement surveillance systems in all of our schools.

• All schools in the district have basic intercom service. The high school

and the central office have server-based intercom service via an Informacast server .At the high school, the bell schedules are customized for each faculty member and the bell schedule is implemented via the Informacast server. This server allows us to push out both audible and silent messages as well as the bell schedules.

• All high school classrooms are currently equipped with IP telephones. In an effort to minimize interruptions during the instructional day, it is our policy to program the IP telephones not to ring in the classrooms unless we are pushing out announcements or emergency notifications. We are planning to implement bell schedules via the Informacast server for all of the other schools following the conversion to IP telephony at each school.
