Learning.com Assessments A project wide assessment tool, Learning.com, was implemented this year to assess teacher and student technology skills. The three components include: 1. Student Technology Assessment for all students in grade 5, 7, 9

Executive Summary


All students in grade 5, 7, 9 were assessed in the fall of 2015 using the Learning.com 21st Century Skills Assessment, based on the ISTE NETS – S Standards. This allows each entity to evaluate the skills of the students and plan for instruction and practice throughout the school year. The 21st Century Skills Assessment is aligned to all 24 standards in these six strands:

• Creativity and Innovation • Communication and Collaboration • Research and Information Fluency • Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making • Digital Citizenship • Technology Operations and Concepts

Learning.com's 21st Century Skills Assessment provides deeper insight into a students' grasp of critical 21st century skills. It also helps to prepare students for their lives in our technology driven world.

2. Student Technology Curriculum

All students in grade 7 at SLS and BCSC and grade 9 at OA are working through curriculum that is aligned with their assessment data from August 2015 – May 2016. The EasyTech Curriculum, based on the ISTE NETS – S Standards, ensures that all students at SLS, OA, and BCSC will be introduced to the skills necessary to prepare them for the digital rich world in which they live.

3. Teacher Assessment All teachers completed the WayFind Teachers Assessment in May of 2015. This assessment is aligned to all 20 ISTE Standards-T standards in these five strands:

• Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity • Design and develop digital-age learning experiences & assessments • Model digital-age work and learning • Promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility • Engage in professional growth and leadership

The accurate and meaningful data ensures that our teachers grasp 21st century teaching skills. The results guide teachers through individualized, self-paced professional development and compliment other technology professional development planned for each entity. We are able to identify teachers who excel so that they can share their best practices and teaching strategies.

As you walk into the Classroom of Tomorrow you find an environment that embraces the ever-changing technology to open up a world of learning resources at the student’s fingertips. The classroom allows for the new generation of tech-savvy and connected students to prepare for the future no one can predict and for jobs that, in many cases, haven’t been invented yet. This environment cultivates the best learning opportunities to teach skills for success in the future unknown to them. These important 21st century skills include:

• Creativity and Innovation • Communication and Collaboration • Research and information fluency • Critical Thinking and Problem Solving and Decision Making

*ISTE Student Technology Standards The role of technology in education has naturally evolved over the years, from classrooms full of chalkboards, pencil and paper to computers, electronic whiteboards and devices for each student. In the 21st Century Classroom, students leverage technology to expand their learning experiences. This allows them to determine their own learning needs and activities, by using robust and adaptive tools to customize their learning. Students can be found:

• Finding answers to questions • Using video to learn and show knowledge

of concepts • Collaborating with fellow classmates and

experts outside the classroom • Leaving a legacy to change the world • Completing assessments that are online,

embedded, and performance-based • Demonstrating authentic learning • Learning from their failures • Modeling proper digital citizenship skills • Learning through authentic, real-world

problem solving • Participating in extended learning through Makerspaces, PBL, Tech Academy, Genius Hour, STEM /

STEAM, and Robotics • Applying 21st century skills

The students arrive each day with different experiences and expectations. The integration of technology in the classroom allows the students to become more engaged in higher-order cognitive tasks. They collect information in a variety of formats and then organize, visualize, and discover relationships among facts, data, and events. The same technologies can be used to communicate their ideas, argue, critique, persuade and teach others. A deeper level of understanding of their own growing knowledge is the result of the shift in

Classroom of Tomorrow


learning experiences made possible with technology tools at their fingertips. The students of tomorrow can acquire the skills that will enable them to live productive lives in the global, digital, information-based future they all face. The educators in the Classroom of Tomorrow use the technology at the student’s fingertips to create more engaging and diverse lessons, changing the dynamics of the classroom. They are integrating learner centric classrooms, which include active learning pedagogies and technology enhanced educational strategies. Data is used as the building blocks for learning that is personalized, individualized, and differentiated to ensure success. Technology is the tool to deliver the varied instruction through the integration of 21st Century Skills, encouraging creativity, innovation, collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving as identified by the ISTE Teacher Standards.

• Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity • Design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments • Model digital age work and learning • Promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility • Engage in professional growth and leadership

To support this shift, the educators are provided proper training and support for the new approaches to learning and instruction. Professional Development opportunities incorporate a variety of methods, including:

• Group sessions • Individualized consultations • Team teaching and modeling • 24/7 online access to resources • Collaborative space for lesson planning • Badging • Tech Talks

The physical space of the Classroom of the Tomorrow is transformed to support the new teaching and learning experiences as a result of the integration of technology. No longer will you see static room arrangements with a teacher desk at the front of the room and student desks in rows. Instead, you find innovative learning spaces to replicate and embrace new styles of learning. The design and furniture support student mobility, active learning, lecture, collaboration, projects, discussion and test taking activities. Students find success and engagement in an atmosphere that supports their learning needs, including the ability to properly see and hear at all times. The pictures of the Classroom of the Tomorrow support the transformed learning spaces and technology tools.


“Kids walk into schools full of wonder and questions. How you, as an educator, respond to students’ natural curiosity can help further their own exploration and shape the way they learn today and in the future. The traditional system of education requires students to hold their questions and compliantly stick to the scheduled curriculum. But our job as educators is to provide new and better opportunities for our students. It’s time to recognize that compliance doesn’t foster innovation, encourage critical thinking, or inspire creativity–and those are the skills our students need to succeed.” George Couros Challenges The transformation of teaching and learning to integrate the power of the technology resources in the hands of the students includes challenges. Some are identified below:

• Many classrooms have traditional furniture, so budget considerations are necessary to support the classroom transformation. “Budgets are tight, so it’s more important than ever to leverage every square foot of real estate.” – Steelcase Education Publication

• The teachers need to embrace the learning opportunities with technology and be willing to learn and integrate new ideas.

• Professional Development is necessary for the educators to learn about the teaching strategies, focusing on the skills that will equip today's learners for tomorrow's world of work. "We need to teach better what we teach today". – Marc Prensky

Appendix B Future Ready FrameWork A leadership team from BCSC attended the Future Ready Summit in Pittsburgh, PA on June 22-23, 2015 to learn about the framework and tools to be used to access school’s readiness for learning for all students. Technology now enables personalized digital learning for every student. Digital learning is defined as "the strengthening, broadening, and/or deepening of students’ learning through the effective use of technology." Digital learning can serve as a vehicle to individualize and personalize learning, ensuring that all students reach their full potential to succeed in college and a career. The elements that comprise this Gear include:

• Personalized Learning • Student-Centered Learning • Authentic, Deeper Learning • 21st Century Skills • College and Career Readiness • Digital Citizenship • Technology Skills • Anywhere, Anytime Learning

The Framework is designed to set out a roadmap to achieve that success to prepare students for success in college, careers and citizenship. With student learning at the center, the framework seven (7) key categories, or gears, in order to advance toward successful digital learning. The 7 Gears are as follows:

• Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment • Use of Time • Technology, Networks, and Hardware • Data and Privacy • Community Partnerships • Professional Learning • Budget and Resources

The outside rings in the figure emphasize the importance of empowered leadership and the cycle of transformation where districts vision, plan, implement and assess continually. Once a district is strategically staged in each gear, district leaders can be confident that they are ready for a highly successful implementation phase that leads to innovation through digital learning.

http://dashboard.futurereadyschools.org/app/framework Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment In a Future Ready district, curriculum, instruction, and assessment are tightly aligned, redesigned to engage students in 21st Century, personalized, technology-enabled, deeper learning. Curricula and instruction are standards-aligned, research-based, and enriched through authentic, real-world problem solving. Students and teachers have robust and adaptive tools to customize the learning, teaching, and assessment, ensuring that it is student-centered and emphasizing deep understanding of complex issues. Assessments are shifting to be online, embedded, and performance-based. Data and associated analysis serve as building blocks for learning that is personalized, individualized, and differentiated to ensure all learners succeed. The elements that comprise this Gear are as follows:


• 21st Century Skills/Deeper Learning • Personalized Learning • Collaborative, Relevant, and Applied Learning • Leveraging Technology • Assessment—Analytics Inform Instruction A foundation for each of these elements is the increased use of digital content, providing learners a range of high quality media, accessible 24 hours a day, 7-days-a-week. This provides all students many more opportunities to personalize learning, reflect on their own work, think critically, and engage frequently in deeper understanding of complex topics. This necessitates equitable access to devices and high-speed networks and broadband, at school and beyond, into the community and homes. Use of Time Student-centric learning requires changes in the way instructional time is used. Many schools are shifting away from Carnegie units to competency-based learning. This type of system adapts learning to meet the needs, pace, interests, and preferences of the learner. The elements that comprise this Gear are as follows: • Flexible Learning; Anytime, Anywhere • New Pedagogy, Schedules, and Learning Environment for Personalized Learning • Competency-Based Learning • Strategies for Providing Extended Time for Projects and Collaboration This transition is made possible through innovative uses of technology for diagnostic, formative and summative assessments, for managing learning, for engaging students in learning, and for providing anywhere, anytime learning. Such transitions required districts to rethink and more effectively leverage the use of instructional time. Technology, Networks, and Hardware When employed as part of a comprehensive educational strategy, the effective use of technology provides tools, resources, data, and supportive systems that increase teaching opportunities and promote efficiency. The elements that comprise this Gear are as follows: • Adequacy of Devices; Quality and Availability • Robust Network Infrastructure • Adequate and Responsive Support • Formal Cycle for Review and Replacement Such environments enable anytime, anywhere learning based on competency and mastery with empowered caring adults who are guiding the way for each student to succeed. High quality, high-speed technology and infrastructure systems within a school district are essential to the advancing of digital learning. Data and Privacy Data privacy and security are foundational elements of digital learning. The district ensures that sound data governance policies are enacted and enforced to ensure the privacy, safety, and security of confidential data sets. Such policies and procedures ensure that access to authorized persons is secure. Education professionals have a range of resources, trainings, and services available to build their awareness and capacity to implement such policies and procedures with precision.


The elements that comprise this Gear are as follows: • Data and Data Systems • Data Policies, Procedures, and Practices • Data-Informed Decision Making • Data Literate Education Professionals A personalized, learner-centered environment uses technology to collect, analyze, and organize data to provide continuous cycles of feedback to students, teachers and other education professionals, with the intent of increasing the depth, breadth, complexity, and efficiency of learning. Community Partnerships Community partnerships include the formal and informal local and global community connections, collaborative projects, and relationships that advance the school’s learning goals. The elements that comprise this Gear are as follows: • Local Community Engagement and Outreach • Global and Cultural Awareness • Digital Learning Environments as Connectors to Local/Global Communities • Parental Communication and Engagement • District Brand Digital communications, online communities, social media, and digital learning environments often serve as connectors for these partnerships. Professional Learning In Future Ready Schools, technology and digital learning expand access to high-quality, ongoing, job-embedded opportunities for professional learning for teachers, administrators, and other education professionals. Such opportunities ultimately lead to improvements in student success and create broader understanding of the skills that comprise success in a digital age. The elements that comprise this Gear are as follows: • Shared Ownership and Responsibility for Professional Growth • 21st Century Skill Set • Diverse Opportunities for Professional Learning Through Technology • Broad-Based, Participative Evaluation Digital Professional learning communities, peer-to-peer lesson sharing, and better use of data and formative assessment, combined with less emphasis on "sit and get" professional development sessions eliminate the confines of geography and time. These ever-increasing resources offer teachers and administrators vast new opportunities to collaborate, learn, share, and produce best practices with colleagues in school buildings across the country. Digital leaders establish this type of collaborative culture. They model and are transparent with their own learning. In addition, educators must be engaged in more collaborative, goal-oriented approaches to the evaluation of their own teaching to serve as a personal model for the experiences that they might bring to students. Budget and Resources The transition to digital learning will require strategic short-term and long-term budgeting and leveraging of


resources. All budgets at the district and the school should be aligned to the new vision, with consistent funding streams for both recurring and non-recurring costs to ensure sustainability. During the transition, district leaders should strive for cost-savings and efficiencies through effective uses of technology. The elements that comprise this Gear are as follows: • Efficiency and Cost Savings • Alignment to District and School Plans • Consistent Funding Streams • Learning Return on Investment The financial model should include the metrics and processes to ensure not only sustainability, but also accountability for learning returns on investments. Across the Gears: Empowered, Innovative Leadership The Future Ready framework provides a roadmap toward digital learning; success within a district is dependent on innovative leadership at all levels. First and foremost, leaders within a district must be empowered to think and act innovatively, they must believe in the district’s shared, forward-thinking vision for deeper learning through effective uses of digital, 21st Century technologies. The elements that comprise this Gear are as follows: • A Shared, Forward-Thinking Vision for Digital Learning • A Culture of Collaboration, Innovation, Capacity Building, and Empowerment • High Expectations for Evidence-Based Transformations to Digital Learning • Transformative, Coherent Thinking, Planning, Policies, and Implementation Critical to their success will be a culture of innovation that builds the capacity of students, teachers, administrators, parents, and community to work collaboratively toward that preferred future. The policy foundation that results must be coherent with that vision. Unleashed in a culture of vision and empowerment, leaders will have the flexibility and adaptability they require to prepare their students to thrive in the 21st Century. Resources:

2. Consequently, students who are effectively using digital tools to transform their learning experience place a higher value on the importance of technology as part of their personalized education process.

3. Students connect the use of technology tools within learning to the development of college, career, and citizenship skills that will empower their future capabilities.

4. The ability to use technology within school or class environments engages students in active learning and establishes a foundation for the development of a personal ethos of self-‐directed, independent learning.
