Discussion:
Executive Director discussed the Innovative Grants that was released last Friday, September 30, 2016, a proposed project could include a Priority Consideration of Leveraging Technology. Other priority considerations include High Needs Students, Students in "Needs Improvement" Schools, and Focus on AQuESTT Tenets. Within the NDE protocol, leveraging technology refers to the innovative use of technology in the classroom to support student learning... In addition, this consideration provides for an innovative process, product, strategy or intervention that uses data platforms or technological tools to enable the development, integration, visualization and rapid analysis of data to inform instructional practice and improve education outcomes. Based upon this definition or description, the work designed for this project through ESUCC would provide for the continued support and development of the ADVISER and all components that are included within the infrastructure. Key components include security/backup/portal development as well as policy/procedure development. This provides the data platforms and technological tools such as SRS and implementation of Service Planning Software to enable the development, integration, visualization and rapid analysis of data to inform instructional practice. The innovative use of technology in the classroom to support student learning would include the ongoing development and deployment of the BlendED Pilot as well as the scale-up of the NROC/EdReady project. This proposed project (Teaching and Learning: Infrastructure and Instructional Support) would support the ongoing development of the technology infrastructure as well as support for students with high needs (SRS), general classroom support through BlendED, as well as support for college and career readiness through NROC/EdReady.
