The scope of change required to meet the goals of the LRPT is daunting. In effect, the LRPT includes actions points and requirements for nearly every aspect of teaching and learning. The key here will be actively assessing your campus’s current status with regards to the LRPT. One will then be able to begin to gradually and systematically introduce new practices and technology to the school. It’s fair to assume that most districts need to increase their funding for more technology applications, and they need to fund more professional development time so the staff can make the best use the resources they have been given. Because of this, campus administrators must begin the financial needs of their campuses now in anticipation of the SBEC’s rigorous standards set forth in the LRPT.
What can my campus do about this right now? We have a two rolling wireless laptop stations that could be used to show students how to collaborate with each other. Classes could access a forum devoted the material being taught that week and enter their ideas and concerns to be shared with the other classes and teachers. I’ve chosen this particular idea as it is what we are already set up to do with regards to our technology budget and classroom resources.
