Enabling Technology

All members of the school use technology in ways that provide real-time, responsible access to learning and assessments, and facilitate collaboration and communication around learners’ short- and long-term goals.

a. Technology is easily accessible and incorporated into learning (e.g., sufficient wall outlets, device storage, single sign on into multiple content providers if appropriate).

b. All learners, educators, and families have equitable access to a computer and internet at school and at home.

c. High-speed internet access throughout the school supports all learners and faculty working simultaneously.

d. A learning platform and/or suite of digital content providers allow learners to advance through scaffolded curriculum pathways and clearly indicate learners’ progress through material (e.g., percentage of content mastered).

e. Comprehensive data systems pull from learning management, assessment, and learner information systems and allow supporting educators (e.g., at minimum grade-level teams, a mentor/advisor, or an adult connection to learners’ families) to provide informed and aligned support for learners.

f. Key curricular data and reporting tools are interoperable (e.g. data is easily accessible and centralized).

g. Learners and educators act as digital citizens with integrity and own the responsibility of reporting or identifying cases of misconduct (e.g., cyber-bullying, misuse of citations, illegal downloading of materials, falsifying identify, misuse of digital tools).
