Technology curricula must provide access and equity to all students. A school district’s technology program must be about more thanjust the acquisition of hardware, software, peripherals and connectivity; it must include how the technology is integrated with the instructional program aswell as what professional development programs will help the district achieve its goals in this vital area. Any decisions concerning the direction andintegration of instructional technology at the campus level should begin with a thorough review of the district’s technology plan.

Technology Strengths

The committee indicated that support for technology on the campus is generally good. The computer lab is working well and all classrooms have computersavailable for student use.4th and 5th grade have access to a classroom set of Chrome books and K-3 has access to 2 ipads per class. One of the teachers hasbeen designated as the technology assistant and helps staff work through minor technology problems. The district also has a full-time instructionaltechnology coordinator who provides technical assistance to the staff as well as training. All classrooms are equipped with overhead LCD projectors.

Computer assisted instructional software is adequate to meet the needs of the campus teachers.

The district has begun to budget funds to replace technology as needed. This has taken this responsibility and considerable cost from the campus budget.

Problem Statements Identifying Technology Needs

Problem Statement 1: Smart Board pens need to be updated. They do not work on a consistent basis which prevents teachers from using the technology.Root Cause: Smart boards and pens are out dated.

Problem Statement 2: K-3 classroom need more ipads in order to successfully use them in small groups.

October 9, 2017 2:22 pm

Current Programs: Currently there are several programs in place to enhance the basic instructional program at the campus. These programs include the following: ESEA, Title I, Part A — Improving Basic Programs operated by Local Education Agencies: Parker Elementary School implements a schoolwide program with Title I funds to upgrade the entire instructional program by paying for two Reading Recovery teachers who reinforce reading to help struggling students. A dyslexia teacher is also paid for as part of the schoolwide program. Instructional software, supplies and materials, as well as parent involvement activities and professional development are also paid for with these funds.

ESEA, Title I, Part C—Educating Migratory Children: The district is in a shared services arrangement with Education Service Center Region 8 that provides recruitment and training services to the district and its schools.

ESEA, Title II, Part A—Principal, Teacher Training and Recruitment Fund: Resources available from this program are used to provide professional development activities for staff in the core subject areas.

ESEA, Title III, Part A—English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement Act: The district participates in a shared services arrangement with Education Service Center Region 8 that provides professional development for special language teachers and curriculum materials for special language programs. State Compensatory Education: These funds are used to pay for one math intervention teacher and two paraprofessionals who use various intervention programs including tutoring to address the needs of students in at-risk situations. Special Education: Supplemental programs are designed to meet the needs of students with disabilities as determined by the Admissions, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) committee. Programs at Aaron Parker Elementary School include Success Center Lab, Inclusion, and Content Mastery. Aaron Parker serves primarily the less severe students. Students with more severe disabilities are bused into town to one of the other elementary schools. Speech and OT/PT are available on an itinerant basis as needed. All special education programs and services are provided in the least restrictive environment. Bilingual Education: The English as a second language (ESL) methodology is used by teachers having an ESL endorsement to provide English language learners (ELLs) with special language services to assist them in making the transition from languages other than English to proficiency in using the English language. Students are classified as ELLs by the Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC). Presently, there are no ELL students at Parker Elementary School.
