Measurement of Progress Against Goals
The assessment and evaluation of the plan must be capable of generating
information for making any needed adjustment to the action steps. This will
ensure the quality and viability of the plan. The district will make a concerted
effort to ensure that both quality and viability are addressed during the assessment
and evaluation process. The district will use the data generated to
improve the educational enterprise in Wheelersburg, Ohio.
This district plan for educational technology is a dynamic blueprint for systemic
change. Therefore, we must review, refine, revise, and rewrite it as necessary to
keep it viable. This requires that we examine it periodically to determine its
continued effectiveness. The plan includes action steps that will indicate whether
each of the goals is being met in the specified manner. Provisions
for making necessary adjustments to the plan will ensure that the technology is
available and effectively used to enhance the teaching/learning process through
instruction, professional development, and community involvement.
Considering the rate at which new technologies (fiber optics, virtual reality,
artificial intelligence, etc.) are being developed, assessment and evaluation
needs to address a host of issues relative to technology development and
cost. The development of new knowledge about the learning process suggests
that we examine the goals and objectives of the plan in a manner designed to
include these new understandings. It is imperative, therefore, that we consider
how we learn, what structures promote learning, and what technologies are available
to enhance the learning process. We can then perform a comprehensive assessment of
the technology plan.
