Report Overview

Context

It is the rapid and sophisticated development of technology that has facilitated, if not

forced, fundamental changes in our society. American business can be delegated to

workers around the globe through high-speed telecommunications networks oblivious to

national borders. Manufacturing can be completed with fewer defects by using robotics.

Computers have become vital to all companies, from agribusiness to medicine to auto

mechanics. “We are moving toward the capability to communicate anything to anyone,

anywhere, by any form — voice, data, text, or image — at the speed of light.” (Naisbitt

and Aburdene, Megatrends 2000)

This same technology can open the world to students. Satellites perched high above the

earth enable the world’s neighbors to know each other and share information in ways

that far exceed a traditional world history lesson. Technology is approaching the speed

at which we think. Children who have grown up with the visual and mental stimulation of

MTV, home computers and video games will not tolerate slowness in the classroom.

Although teachers should avoid gimmicks for learning, it is appropriate for educators to

utilize all of the tools that bring information, and, ultimately, knowledge to students.

Technology permits learning to move away from limited linear thinking, and allows

learners to integrate many different pieces of information at one time. With high speed

connections to the Internet, schools can provide learning opportunities that will greatly

assist their students in preparing for a world of work that is increasingly knowledge-

based and rooted in information technology.

Employers are no longer looking for a “pair of hands” to train in a specific task, but are

relying on a good mind that will continue learning as jobs become more complex,

change, or are created. All jobs are impacted by technology, and students must be

exposed to computer systems and other technologies that simulate real-world

experiences. However, workplace literacy skills continue to include reading,

mathematics, and writing, now at a higher level of performance as workers create


2

problem statements for computers and read highly technical manuals. The scientific

process, thinking skills, physics and even basic algebraic principles are used in a greater

variety of jobs. “Since workers in the future will experience rapid changes in both work

technologies and jobs themselves, the ability to think and learn quickly can no longer be

limited to top-level management.” (Smey-Richman, School Climate and Restructuring for

Low-Achieving Students)

Students from the Tobacco Region will be competing with students across the world for

jobs. Essentially, they can compete in one of two ways: as the cheapest labor in the

world or the most skilled workforce. America will never offer the cheapest labor, so for

today’s worker to attain a job that offers fulfillment and the promise of the American

Dream, our students — students in the Tobacco Commission area — must develop the

skills and competencies required for jobs that serve a world-wide economy.

Rationale

This study is undertaken to assist the Tobacco Commission in its efforts to provide

opportunity and support to the education community in its region to improve their

technology capacity. Indeed while it is typically the industry/business world that clears

the path for greater technology capacity in metropolitan areas, in rural areas the

community looks to the schools to provide the impetus for initiating and expanding

technology capacity. For example, many small municipalities even share a computerized

payroll system with the local school board office and send staff to the schools for

professional development in using the technologies required.

By assisting the schools to improve and build the scaffolding to support more

sophisticated technologies, the Tobacco Commission is touching the entire community.

In order for such seminal assistance to be meaningful, efficient and cost-effective, it

should be predicated on a use analysis and needs assessment of the educational sites

in the Tobacco Commission area. Further, the findings, conclusions and

recommendations must be understood in light of the best practices for teaching and

learning.


3

In order to ensure maximum use of any technology support provided by the Tobacco

Commission, study is needed to delineate points of action for involving members of the

education community in realistic but imaginative projections for integrating and using a

robust, reliable advanced network infrastructure in instructional design and delivery.

Finally, this component of the overall report to the Commission will contribute the

educational perspective to the complete picture of current technology capacity for the

total community.

Structure and Scope of Study

The study of the technology capacity of education in the Tobacco Commission area is

organized in four main parts: a comprehensive review of existing technology capacity; a

needs assessment of IT infrastructure at educational sites; a use analysis of current

administrative and academic information technology applications; and findings,

conclusions and recommendations.

The scope of the study includes:

• Comprehensive data from all educational sites in the Tobacco Commission area

• 39 school districts (See Attachment [1] for complete listing.)

• 5 superintendent regions

• 230 elementary schools

• 43 middle schools

• 75 high schools

• 24 others (alternative, private)

• 159,073 students

• 91 institutions of higher education, including two and four year institutions (See Attachment [4] for complete listing.)

• 47 related organizations (museums, libraries, consortia) (See Attachment [5] for complete listing.)

• Comparative data from all educational sites in the state

• 132 school districts

• 8 superintendent regions

• 1,164 elementary schools

Data Collection

Sources

In addition to acquiring information directly from the educational sites, as enumerated in

the methodology section below, this study performs a meta-analysis of eight

comprehensive reports and surveys conducted by the Virginia Department of Education

(VDOE). These reports listed below were submitted to the VDOE by all 132 school

districts in the Commonwealth. Generally reports are available the year after submission;

i.e., 2001 report is available in 2002. Not every report or survey is conducted annually;

i.e., the Internet Connectivity Survey. The information supplied in these documents is

used by the VDOE to inform acquisition and distribution of equipment, eligibility for

participation in certain programs and funding allocations.

• VDOE 2001 Annual Reports

• Fall Membership by School

• Regional Alternative Education Program Final Report

• Division Media Representative Report to Teleproduction Services

• Annual Local School Division Technology Plan

• VDOE Office of Information Technology

• 2000-2001 Technology Capacity in Support of Instruction

• 2001 Total Cost of Ownership Study

• 2000 High School Capacity Survey

• 1999 Internet Connectivity Survey

• Standards of Learning (SOL) data are used from the VDOE as a means of

providing possible correlations between technology capacity of a district and the

level of achievement students demonstrate in mastering the SOLs.

• The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is the source for additional

information providing data for comparing the technological status of Commission

area schools with national averages.


6

• The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) is the source for

national standards that define best practices in administrative and academic

applications of technology.

Methodology

Data collection for this study is conducted in a variety of ways, including site visits, on-

site interviews, telephone interviews, surveys and reports. Emphasis is placed on

analysis of the data collected to determine the technology capacity of each school and

school district in the Commission area. The definition for technology capacity used in

this study includes the following parameters:

• Internet Connectivity

• Statewide (See Figure 1.)

• Tobacco Commission Area by Counties and Cities (See Figure 2.)

• Student-to-Computer Ratio

• Statewide by Superintendents Regions (See Figure 3.)

• Tobacco Commission Area by Counties and Cities (See Figure 4.)

• Student-to-Computer Ratio for Instruction

• State/Nation Comparison by School Type (See Figure 5.)

• Tobacco Commission Area by School Type (See Figure 6.)

• State/Nation Comparison by Percentage on Free and Reduced Lunch (See Figure 7.)

• Distribution of Internet Connected Computers in Classrooms, Labs and Media

Centers in the Tobacco Commission Area (See Figure 2.)

• Speed of Connectivity to Internet

• Statewide by Superintendents Regions (See Figure 8.)

• Tobacco Commission Area by School Type (See Figure 9.)

• High School Electrical Capacity Statewide (See Figure 10.)


7

Capacity comparisons are made to schools and districts throughout the Commonwealth

as well as to national averages.

Use analysis of administrative and academic applications is conducted to determine

types of applications, compliance with best practices and with state and national

standards, and limitations imposed because of available technology infrastructure.

Reporting Protocols

Data related to technology capacity will be compiled and summarized in graphs, charts

and tables under three categories in this report:

• Demographics of the Education Community

• Existing IT Infrastructure at Educational Sites

• Current IT Applications at Educational Sites

Raw data will be included in the Appendices under the following categories:

• K-12 Schools

• Higher Education

• Related Organizations

The needs assessment drawn from all of the data will be analyzed in the Conclusions

and Recommendations sections of the report. Recommendations concerning the

technology infrastructure to support administrative and academic tasks for the Tobacco

Commission area schools will be made in terms of superintendents regions. [Note:

Reporting protocols in the state of Virginia rely heavily on the designation of eight

superintendents regions. The Virginia Department of Education has grouped

approximately 12 to 15 school divisions in each region with the intent of streamlining

reporting between the VDOE and the divisions. As a result, much of the professional

development and basic planning related to the VDOE occurs at the regional level.


8

Sustainability of projects undertaken at the regional level will be discussed in more detail

later in this report.]

Status of Existing Technology Capacity in Education in the Tobacco Commission Area

Since the early text-only days of the Internet (Virginia’s PEN) to the networks of the

future (National Light Rail), Virginia has been and is in the forefront of the technology

revolution. Initiatives such as online testing keep pushing the envelope for the

Commonwealth’s K-12 schools. The federally funded eRate program has brought

considerable technology into the schools across Virginia and in particular to the Tobacco

Region. But while the schools in the Tobacco Region have moved forward with

technology purchases, they still lag behind other areas in the state and country.

The Tobacco Region currently does not have the technology base (among other things)

to attract information and high tech industries to the area. They should not look at

catching up in the area of technology, but should attempt to leap frog over emerging

technology and develop cutting-edge instructional technology applications for their

schools. It could be argued that students in the Tobacco Region do not have

opportunities comparable to students in northern Virginia and the “Golden Crescent”

area for developing the necessary skills to compete successfully in a global marketplace.

The Commonwealth of Virginia has traditionally allowed local school boards to determine

the best route to follow in charting a student’s achievement from kindergarten through

grade 12. While local school boards do set policy for their own schools, there are

numerous state and federal laws and mandates that the local boards must follow.

Currently on the horizon is the “No Child Left Behind” Act (NCLB), which will have

implications for school funding as well as for assuring that all students are prepared for

tomorrow’s world of work.

Certainly information technology is the growth engine of the emerging global knowledge

economy. The Tobacco Region of Virginia must re-invent itself in order to survive in the

new global economy. The starting point for this will be in the K–12 environment —

affecting the entire community.

Demographics of the Education Community

While people complain that much about the organization of schools has not changed

over the last 100 years, we find that today’s student has changed drastically. Changing

demographics represent complexities of changing family structure, changing work force

requirements, changing ways students access information outside of school, and an

aging teacher and teacher trainer population. Indeed as the adage goes: “change is

mandatory; growth is optional.” Schools respond to what business identifies as needed

in the workforce; what parents want from schools; and what students need to succeed

as well-developed citizens and human beings.

While this total report provides a more complete socio-economic picture of the

demographics in the Tobacco Region, the educational community may be profiled by

considering the following measurable categories and reports:

• Adult Literacy

• SOL School Accreditation Ratings

• School Census

• Report of Dropouts

• Free and Reduced Lunch Count (See Figure 7.)

• Report on Discipline, Crime and Violence

Adult Literacy

According to the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL), there is a correlation between

improvement in educational level of adults and the success of their children in school.

Parental participation in adult literacy programs correlates with their children’s

improvement in grades, test scores, reading skills, and retention in school. Helping low-

literate adults improve their basic skills has a direct and measurable impact on both the

education and quality of life of their children.


11

Nationally, current data indicates that more than 20 percent of adults read at or below a

fifth-grade level. Over 40,000,000 Americans age 16 and older have significant literacy

needs. Forty-three (43) percent of those with the lowest literacy skills live in poverty; 17

percent receive food stamps; 70 percent have no job or a part-time job.

In Virginia, the National Adult Literacy Survey finds that more than 1,000,000 adults

have not completed high school; and another 1,000,000 have finished high school but

are deficient in one or more basic skill areas.

The Office of Adult Education and Literacy at the VDOE provides local and regional

information about programs and area collaborations that serve the Tobacco Region.

Specific data from literacy reports may be obtained through the website

http://www.pen.k12.va.us/VDOE/Instruction/Adult/.

SOL School Accreditation Ratings:

School accreditation ratings for 2002-03 are based on student achievement on

Standards of Learning (SOL) tests in English, mathematics, history/social science, and

science administered during 2001-02, or an average of achievement during the three

most recent years. Schools receive one of the following ratings:

• Fully Accredited: A school is fully accredited if students achieve pass rates of

70 percent or above in all four content areas.

• Provisionally Accredited/Meets State Standards: A school receives this rating

if students achieve a pass rate of less than 70 percent in one or more subject

areas but meet or exceed all of the following benchmarks:

• English: 66 percent

• Mathematics: 65 percent

• History/Social Science: 50 percent

• Science (Elementary and Middle): 66 percent

• Science (High School): 65 percent Schools that meet or exceed the above benchmark pass rates are counted as meeting the Commonwealth's achievement objectives for the year.


12

• Provisionally Accredited/Needs Improvement: A school receives this rating if

pass rates in one or more subject areas are below the benchmarks listed above

unless the school is Accredited with Warning.

• Accredited with Warning: A school receives this rating if pass rates are 20 or

more points below the benchmarks listed above in one or more area.

Existing IT Infrastructure at Educational Sites

To see how Instructional Technology was progressing, we took a closer look at three

divisions within the Tobacco Region to get a snap shot of where that division is with

technology integration.

Case Studies

Tazewell County Public Schools

Tazewell County Public Schools has been developing an advanced telecommunications

infrastructure for a decade. Some activities predate the passage of the

Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the benefits of eRate.

Architecture and Technical Specifications

The school division maintains 2,500 workstations all attached to local area networks

running Novell NOS across 51 file servers. Each of the 17 schools is connected via a

wide area network (WAN) with IP protocol. Internet connectivity to the division is by a

DS-3 from Network.Virginia with connections to individual schools at the T-1 level or

higher. Direct fiber connections, wireless, HDSL and frame relay circuits are used to

connect schools. All instructional and administrative spaces in the division are Internet

connected using a 10 meg switched network. Distance education is facilitated with five

fiber-optic classrooms providing real-time, interactive two-way audio and video. Seven

H.323 classrooms are available in the county for conferencing and other instructional

uses.

Security

The entire wide area network sits behind a PIX firewall protected by a series of filters,

intrusion detection appliances and anti-viral software.

Use Analysis

Backup of critical administrative and instructional information is done across the WAN

using a series of decentralized SNAP servers as repositories for the data. During regular

school hours, Internet traffic spikes to 8 mbps as monitored by the division. In the spring


14

of 2002, the division participated in Virginia’s SOL on-line assessment program with

excellent success.

A full schedule of distance education classes is offered ranging from Latin to Advanced

Placement Government and Advanced Placement Computer Science. Research

materials are on-line and are preferred by students and librarians alike. Efforts have

begun to do outreach to the local business community to show the benefits of

videoconferencing and Internet in the business world.

Prince Edward County Public Schools


All buildings on the school campus, including maintenance and transportation, have

been connected to form two local area networks, one for administration and one for

scholastic. All classrooms, computer labs, and administrative offices have access to the

Internet. Norton Anti-virus is added to all machines. Live updates are being downloaded

daily from the Internet. The mail server is in place for all professional and classified

staff. At the present time, there are 850 Pentium computers on the network. The

distance learning classroom is using H.323 video equipment. Internet is provided by way

of a wireless 20mb Radar System with 10mb Bandwidth sustained.

Security

The entire wide area network sits behind a PIX firewall protected by various filters and

anti-viral software.


15

Use Analysis

Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher are available in every

building. Age-appropriate software for instructional use in each subject area continues

to be a goal for each classroom, while the annual renewal of licenses for all software

continues to be a large expense.

Martinsville City Public Schools

Martinsville City Schools began investing heavily in technology during the mid-1990s,

replacing outdated computers and upgrading wiring enabling each classroom in the city

access to the World Wide Web.


The division network includes a T-1 line from a service provider to the middle school with

full T-1 lines from the middle school out to each of the other five schools. Each school

has a fiber backbone with Cat5 cable to the desktop. Cisco switches are used in all

schools. Plans are underway to increase bandwidth into the schools in 2003.

There are at least four servers in each school. These servers are used to house the

administrative software, library software, Internet filtering software, and instructional

software and data. Five of the division’s labs have servers specific to the type of

program being run in the classroom.

Each of three elementary schools is equipped with a 30-station computer lab. Every

classroom has at least one Internet-ready computer for student use — most have more

than one.


16

At the intermediate school, each of three grade levels has a 30-station computer lab.

Each teacher has an instructional computer with presentation capabilities. Each room

has three to five computers for student use. All rooms are equipped with large-screen

televisions. The media center houses a media-retrieval system that runs all video

materials and a school bulletin board.

The middle school partners with NASA to provide an Aeronautics and Space Lab. The

media center is equipped with high-speed Internet computers and houses a media-

retrieval system that runs all video materials and a school bulletin board. Each grade

level uses a 27-station lab. The school has a portable, wireless 30-laptop computer cart

for teachers to use in classroom instruction.

The high school media center has a 30-station computer lab available to students during

the school day and also offers a portable, wireless, 24-station laptop cart for teachers to

use in the classroom. All classrooms have large screen televisions with presentation

capabilities and there are at least two high-speed computers in each classroom with

Internet access.

The student to computer ratio in each of the six schools is approximately 3:1.

Security

The entire wide area network sits behind a PIX firewall protected by a series of filters

and anti-viral software.

Use Analysis

All kindergarten students participate in the Waterford Early Learning Program, a

computer-based program that helps students with early reading and math skills.

Elementary and middle school students participate in the Accelerated Reader Program,

a server-based program that encourages students to read for comprehension; The

Reading Academy, a self-paced reading lab, designed to raise reading levels; and a

Careers Lab that introduces students to various types of technical work. High school

students are now taking end-of-course tests online for the Virginia Department of

Education.

Current IT Applications at Educational Sites

Conditions under which computers are used are always changing and hence the

applications continuously change. To understand how this change has been reflected in

educational applications, it is useful to review the shifting emphases on the types of

applications seen as important in schools since computers first appeared in the

classroom in the ‘80s. In 1981, the focus was on teaching students the programming

language of BASIC. In 1983, the emphasis was still on programming but LOGO was the

language. By 1985, integrated learning systems provided a “coherent” set of electronic

lessons and the shift was to using self-paced content software. In 1987 spreadsheets

were the focus for teachers. In 1989, software “tools” for students were preparing the

way for the emphasis of the ‘90s on surfing the Web.

Shifts in perspective will always occur. Currently the emphasis is on ever-expanding

means of extending inquiry, understanding the information acquired, and manipulating

that information for production, dissemination, storage and retrieval. With this context in

mind, the report will examine the current use of applications for administrative and

academic tasks.

Administrative Applications

The State of Virginia requires school divisions to submit various reports via an electronic

format. The state also provides much data back to the schools in an electronic format.

This requirement has forced school divisions to select administrative software programs

to assist in the electronic collection of data.


18

Approximately 70% of the divisions in the state use an administrative software package

called SASIxp™ Student Administrative Software. The remaining 30% use Starbase,

Pentamation or a variety of other packages. Some regional partnerships have

developed around these software packages in the form of User Groups.

Unfortunately, since no one system is used by all of the school divisions, training

personnel in the use of these software packages is a local burden. The lack of a

standard administrative software package makes training personnel on a regional basis

difficult. Without virtually continuous feedback on the program updates, data may be

provided to the schools, but there is no guarantee that school personnel with access to

that data understand how to use it as a basis for decision making.

Academic Applications

In a similar vein, instructional software packages vary from division to division and even

from school to school. While no one is advocating that all schools use the same

software for every student, certain grade level/content level needs are consistent across

the region, state, and nation.

One example of collaboration in the purchasing of academic applications for schools in

the Tobacco Region involves video clips that teachers can incorporate into various

lessons. Divisions are able to access a large library of video clips available online from

United Streaming at a reduced price. In addition teachers often locate and/or make

sample lessons available on websites that can be used in a range of content areas,

levels of difficulty and interest.

Currently the most emphasized type of online application in schools across the

Commonwealth is online testing. Some divisions in the Tobacco Region have

participated in the first pilot phase of this project. At this writing final compliance with all

students in grades 4, 6, 8 and 9-12 taking online end-of-course tests has been pushed

back to 2005. Many companies are providing online Standards of Learning practice

tests.


19

Use Analysis

While data would indicate that schools in the Tobacco Region are using applications

both administratively and academically on a par with the rest of the state, the question is

how to prepare successfully for future growth that is sure to come in quantum leaps in

technology. How do they leap frog ahead to the appropriate use of high bandwidth

applications? There are many curriculum topics that would be enhanced through access

to technology allowing video conferencing on the desktop where students can

collaborate in real time over great distances. This type of educational application is

already available at a number of colleges and universities. For students who often do not

travel beyond the boundaries of their county, this type of exposure to other students in

other cultures is significant.

The fact that over 50 percent of college students need some remedial help indicates that

the local schools need to step up their instruction so that students from the Tobacco

Region entering college are not part of that statistic. Advanced technology applications

available to students at an early age may assist in this process.

Students need to leave school passionate about some content. This passion for

learning in some area is essential in motivating life-long learning. Stimulating technology

applications are feeding these interests now; unfortunately many of the most stimulating

applications are not in the schools. Advanced technology applications available in the

Tobacco Region can contribute to promoting the area as a place where students will

want to stay and work once they have completed formal education training.

Needs Assessment

The educational community will need to make a change in how they use technology

applications to prepare students for the ever-changing world of work, and more

importantly, will need to change the way they prepare teachers to teach with those

applications.

Needed: Active Learning/Adventurous Teaching

Teachers need to give up the view that


20

• teaching is telling;

• learning is absorbing; and

• knowledge is static.

To buy time in the day for more in-depth treatment of application programs, educators need to compact the curriculum.

Administrators need to reduce the rigidity of organizational features of school such as

• length of class period,

• student grouping parameters,

• where information is located.

Students need to be actively engaged in

• knowledge-making explorations;

• complex, non-routine tasks;

• collaborative situations;

• reflection on learning.

Academic rigor does not equate with highly focused, prescriptive learning activities.

Rigorous learning occurs when students encounter open-ended questions and problems

that relate to the students’ world of interest, experience, and needs.

A component of appropriate challenge is the provision and application of instructional

materials and technologies which enhance opportunities for more individualized learning

experiences, allow for more interactive group experiences, and more closely match the

student with his/her own learning style. When technologies are used in a

developmentally appropriate way, they can provide a powerful assist to student inquiry

and ultimately to an increased sense of responsibility and ownership in the learning

process. As high speed Internet connections continue to make school more of a concept

than a place, the teacher’s role is redefined as facilitator, coordinator, guide, mentor, and

role-model rather than one who lectures or otherwise dispenses knowledge.

Opportunities are created to encourage guessing, comparing, evaluating, examining,

and criticizing ideas. The “right answer” is seen less as a single, undebateable response

than as one that has been carefully considered from among other possible

interpretations.


21

Conclusions Technology needs to be ubiquitous in schools. Businesses never talk about technology

because they have the tools. Technology is always under discussion in schools

because they do not have it. Suppose a teacher had to access textbooks the way they

access computers, only during the school day and only when students were there.

Barriers to Full Integration of Technology in Schools

In the education environment there are many barriers imposed against the full

integration of technology, including:

• Frequent turn-over of top leadership, particularly at superintendent level

• Widespread enthusiasm for the flavor-of-the-month approach to educational

reform efforts

• Day-to-day focus with little commitment to working a long-term plan although one

may be on paper

• Too many in-house managers involved in decision making but not

knowledgeable about the topic or situation under consideration

• Sequential tasks often done simultaneously

• Unintended side effects from many adopted plans generally unanalyzed and

often even unacknowledged

• Not at commitment stage in supporting integration of technology into teaching &

learning process

• Little demonstration of applied knowledge about the change process and

systems thinking


22

• Little effort to manage “unwritten rules” of organizational culture that emphasize

“making the boss happy, protecting turf and avoiding association with failure.”

• Often misidentify main purpose for integrating technology into the educational

process

Collaborative Partnerships

Despite these barriers, many school divisions within the Tobacco Region are working

collaboratively on various fronts, such as sharing a teacher for an interactive classroom

or meeting with other technology coordinators in a regional technology consortium.

Many other cross-regional partnerships were discovered in the course of preparing this

report. Unfortunately, there is no data available regionally or at the state level to identify

the various collaborations that a school division is currently involved in.

There are a number of inhibitors to the collaboration between schools and universities.

Most center around cultural differences. The following table delineates the difference in

perspective between K-12 schools and the higher education community around certain

topics: Topic K–12 Schools Universities Research emphasis Solution-oriented Theoretically-based Control base Locality State Policy making Autonomous Consensus Responsiveness to community

Sensitive Relatively immune

Institutional commitment High Moderate to low Relative status Hierarchical Diffused

Institutional differences can be overcome if

• mutual needs and benefits can be identified;

• clear expectations are stated for collaboration;

• administrative structures and support can be established in both agencies;

• communication among participants inspires trust.


23

Summary of Conclusions

While a significant number of barriers make integrating technology into the teaching and

learning experiences of teachers and students difficult, schools in the Tobacco Region

are making notable headway. Case studies from three school divisions profile examples

of the architecture and technical specifications of WANs and LANs; security; and use of

technology in the area. While some divisions in the area may lag behind the rest of the

state in high speed connectivity and access, it is important that the Tobacco Commission

not encourage these divisions to engage in “catch-up” planning. Rather, emphasis

should be placed on “leap-frogging” over existing standards to prepare in a cost-

effective, efficient manner for the future.

High speed fiber connections and access to cutting-edge technology, however, will only

be worthwhile so long as students are learning the skills and strategies necessary to use

this technology meaningfully. Professional development for teachers and administrators

will be a key component in designing the teaching and learning environments that best

support improving student achievement through developmentally appropriate use of

technologies

While technology is not the answer to school reform, it can be an important part of the

solution to the problem that many divisions face in preparing today’s student for

tomorrow’s career. Systemic planning for sustainable goals is desperately needed.

Sustainability and high levels of integration of technology within the communities may

best be achieved through regional cooperation.


24

Recommendations No matter how much pressure, no matter what the rewards, individuals

working in the system are helpless to change things beyond their control.

When the system is the major cause of problems, as happens most often,

only action on the system can make real improvements. Deming

How tasks are designed and managed, and how decisions are made influence

productivity more than ability and talent. With that in mind, school divisions in the

Tobacco Region should establish linkages:

• Identify consortia and partnership programs in the schools, colleges and

universities involving technologies (may already be working within and across

regions).

• Identify multi-division professional development programs involving technology

training

• Support enabling leadership from a consulting firm or education group

• Guide, inform and measure the planning process.

• Determine other organizational structures that are dynamic, interdependent, enabling and fluid for involving the broader community in education through technology.

• Identify a collaborative team with comprehensive vision (representatives from

each region to include school divisions, higher education institutions, local

business and political leaders) Note: The term identify instead of form is used

deliberately. School personnel are already overwhelmed with “opportunities” to

participate in new programs. Work will proceed faster if existing groups can be

used initially and expanded or evolved as members commit to the process.

• Identify regional team(s) (See note above.)

• Identify school division contact persons (a curriculum specialist and a technology

specialist)


25

• Move away from episodic, isolated, dispersed, hierarchical, one-way service-

provider/client relationships

• Invite development of regional, cluster group, and/or consortia action plans

emanating from this framework

• Move beyond identifying needs and goals to focus on means of sharing roles in governance and resources among members of the collaborative teams.

• Invite focus groups to determine themes for partnership.

It has often been said that insanity is doing again what you have done before but

expecting different results. Schools must analyze what needs to change in terms of

expectations, meeting needs of students, social process of learning, pedagogical beliefs

and attitudes. The traditional fault lines of geography, political jurisdiction, and race must

yield to a shared sense of regional destiny. By working together on regional efforts,

such as the development of high bandwidth infrastructure, the education community can

contribute significantly to sustainable growth in the Tobacco Region.


26

Proposed Ways to Involve the Education Community in Planning, Development and Use of a New Broadband Infrastructure

Many different kinds of activities fall under the heading of “community connections with

schools.” One researcher may define a school-community connection as a formal

partnership between the school and another local organization. Another may highlight

learning opportunities for students that take them out of the classroom and into the

community for real-life experiences such as job internships and community research

projects. Community connections might involve individual community members as

educational partners, as well as community organizations such as businesses,

nonprofits, and government agencies. Still other researchers may look at the role of the

school in the larger community—as a community center or a community institution that

can play a role in community development efforts. There is even variation in the very

way the term “community” is defined. Cahill (1996) suggests that community can be

defined using geographical, philosophical, political, sociological, or economic terms.

The following are some of the types of community connections with schools that were

discussed in the literature reviewed:

1) Connections that integrate or locate health and human services at school sites and use school facilities and resources for the benefit of the entire community. These kinds of connections are generally called “full service” or “community” schools (Abrams & Gibbs, 2000; Dryfoos, 1998a, 1998b, 2000; Lawson, 1999; Shaul, 2000).

2) School-to-Work initiatives that link career training and real-life experiences with academic content (Hughes et al., 2001; Reynolds, Walberg & Weissberg, 1999).

3) After-school programs that provide remedial or enrichment learning activities for students while maximizing the use of school resources and fulfilling parents’ need for childcare (Miller, 2001).

4) Community-driven school reform efforts that simultaneously seek to improve local schools, build the social networks that exist in the community, build the capacity of local community members to take action and solve problems at the local level, and create “new standards and expectations for life in the community” (Rockefeller Foundation, 1997, as cited in Jehl, Blank, & McCloud, 2001, p. 4).


27

5) School-business partnerships in which businesses provide schools with resources, business expertise, and volunteers (Otterbourg, 1998; Sanders, 2000; Shirley, 1997).

6) Connections with community organizations, such as local health and human services providers and community-based youth development organizations, to provide services or enrichment opportunities for students at or near the schools (Center for Mental Health in Schools, 1999b; McMahon, Ward, Pruett, Davidson, & Griffith, 2000).

7) School-university partnerships where universities, usually colleges of education, provide expertise, resources, and professional development to schools while schools participate in research studies or other professional collaboration projects (Restine, 1996; Zetlin & MacLeod, 1995).

8) Direct support from individual community members (church members, neighbors, and other adults) to students, to provide learning opportunities, expectations for educational achievement, and support for overall student well-being (Cordiero & Kolek, 1996; Honig, Kahne, & McLaughlin, 2001; Yancey & Saporito, 1997).

9) Connections with educational organizations, such as museums, libraries, and cultural groups, to provide out-of-school opportunities for informal teaching and learning (Faucette, 2000).

10) Community service or service learning programs that link academic content with activities that allow students to contribute to the well-being of the community (Schine, 1996; Wang, Oates, & Weishew, 1995).

11) Tutoring and academic support in specific school subjects by community-based volunteers (Invernizzi et al., 1997).

12) Deliberative dialogue programs that bring together community members to explore issues affecting schools. These dialogue sessions provide a mechanism for two-way information sharing between the school and community (McDonnell & Weatherford, 2000).

13) Community participation in school decision-making through formal mechanisms such as school governance councils (Lewis & Henderson, 1997; Mapp, 1999; Sarason & Lorentz, 1998).

Several authors have recently attempted to categorize the different kinds of school and

community connections. In one article, Cahill (1996) categorized the different types of

connections by their primary purpose: a) service provision to meet youth needs, b)

school-community educational partnerships, c) school-community partnerships in youth

development, d) school-community economic development collaborations, and e)

community redefined schools.


28

A General Accounting Office (GAO) report to Congress (Shaul, 2000) identified a set of

common elements found in school-community connections, including:

• Services and activities tailored to community needs and resources, with the

flexibility to change as community needs change.

• A value for and encouragement of parent participation and individual attention

from caring adults.

• An understanding that support for the family is integral to improving outcomes for

children and youth.

• Active roles for parents, students, community residents, and organizations in

guiding policy and practices through such entities as advisory committees.

• A continuing emphasis on the importance of collaboration and communication

among school and community partners.

Quick Reference to Frequently Asked Questions

1) Why is it difficult for an established telecommunications company to make this investment? (Volume 1, Volume 5)

2) There is already too much fiber in the ground. Why not use what’s there? (Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 6)

3) The principal design criterion driving the development of this infrastructure is that every user has the potential to be a “producer” in the network economy. Is this the same as “broadband”, as it is currently hyped in the industry? (Volume 1)

4) Can we quantify the potential jobs that will be created if a region invests in building advanced telecommunications infrastructure? (Volume 1)

5) What should be the Tobacco Commission’s role in the deployment of first mile technologies? (Volume 1, Volume 3, Volume 5, Volume 7, Volume 8)

6) How can localities ensure that they get early access to the network? (Volume 1, Volume 5, Volume 8)

7) What kind of success have other regions had with the development of network infrastructure for economic development? (Volume 1)

8) What regulatory factors should be considered when investing in wireless technologies? (Volume 1, Volume 7)

9) Why do we need to connect to network points outside of the tobacco regions? (Volume 2)

10) Once the network is in place, what do we do with it? (Volume 2, Volume 8)

11) Since the business model for inter-regional and inter-county infrastructure did not include the use of conduit facilitating blown fiber strands, what are the circumstances in which this technology is appropriate and financially feasible? (Volume 3, Volume 7)

12) How do existing community networks fit into the overall design? (Volume 3, Volume 5, Volume 6)

13) What are some examples for deployment in the first/last mile? (Volume 3, Volume 7)

14) What type of fiber is recommended? (Volume 3)

15) What would a network design for my county look like? (Volume 3)


35

16) How much would all this cost? (Volume 3, Volume 5)

17) What is the appropriate organization model for managing and sustaining the Tobacco Commission’s investment in critical technology infrastructure? (Volume 5)

18) Tobacco region communities are underserved because the private sector does not see a profitable business case. What makes this feasible from a business perspective? (Volume 5)

19) If the traditional investment model for developing critical technology infrastructure has failed, what is the alternative? (Volume 5)

20) How much would it cost for consumers in the region to use the network? (Volume 5)

21) What technologies enable use of the fiber? (Volume 6)

22) How does the choice of technology to light the fiber impact the cost? (Volume 6)
