Introduction

New technologies are being developed continuously which show great promise for enhancing student performance. This plan outlines how technologies could be applied in the Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District. The plan is intended for use by students, staff, parents, community members and administration for technology integration into existing programs. The District Technology Committee, in conjunction with administration and building staff, will strive to seamlessly integrate technology into the day-to-day activities of the district as the Strategic Plan for the district is implemented. Research suggests that the effective and meaningful integration of technology increases student achievement, positive attitude, attendance, and motivation as well as decreases student discipline problems. The KGBSD Technology Plan addresses the effective use of technology in the education of our students.

The Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District has developed this three-year educational technology plan based on the recommendations of the District Technology Committee and the District Administrative Team. Both entities also solicited and represent suggestions from district-wide staff members. This plan not only meets Alaska Department of Educational and Early Development (EED) requirements for a district technology plan, but also provides the blueprint for effective continual implementation of technology in an equitable manner throughout the district.

Philosophy Statement

Instructional technology is a critical component of educating our students with 21st Century skills. We believe that instructional technology provides enormous benefits for students and teachers alike. Instructional technology, as an integral part of classroom curriculum, helps students become successful learners and prepares students to be productive members in our technological/information-based society. It is imperative that the Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District gives a high priority to providing staff development, adequate funding, equitable distribution of instructional technology and access to the learning environment.

Vision

Students, faculty and staff will receive meaningful engaging instruction to utilize a variety of technological tools and problem solving strategies to foster higher order thinking skills. Instructional technology will be used across the curriculum as a tool for teaching, researching, organizing, learning, remediating, assessing and presenting information. As a result, KGBSD students will be able to apply their knowledge and skills in their post K-12 studies, professions and daily lives.

Goal VII: Cost effectively integrates appropriate new and emerging technologies into the classroom environment that is accessible to all students, faculty, parents and administration.

Background:Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District’s average level of free and reduced lunch accounts is 53% (2011-12 data analysis). Poverty levels are addressed in the following manner: Schools with poverty level above 35% receive additional assistance for struggling students or those not meeting proficiency level. The School Board goal is to have 80% of students reading at grade level by the end of third grade. The district is using numerous computer-assisted instructional programs, especially for Tier II and Tier III eligible students as well as numerous computer-assisted assessment programs, at each site meeting poverty levels. Additional computer assisted instructional program have been added as a part of the review of the student performance objectives that occurs annually following the six year cycle for curriculum review. As Computer Assisted Instruction is added extensive staff training has been and will be provided in stages.

As examples, the Ketchikan High School Science Department is in a partnership with the Globe worldwide weather project of Texas A & M and has the equipment to continue participation. The district uses the University of Alaska Southeast distance-learning technologies to allow Ketchikan High School Debate Team to compete with other debate teams in states across the Lower 48, as opportunities are available.

The Ketchikan Indian Corporation provides an adult literacy program in lieu of an Adult Education program once operated by SERRC. The district provides contact information for adult literacy, but KIC does an excellent job of disseminating brochures, pamphlets and information through print media, radio announcements and direct contacts with our high school counselors. Currently KIC and Community Connections provide their own programs. UAS-Ketchikan offers literacy assistance and assessment programs for beginning students and tutorial assistance as needed.

Internet access is available in all classrooms.
