Vision, Mission, and Goals of Envisioned County Public
Schools
Mission
The mission of Envisioned County Public
Schools is to provide an educational program and staff to help 21st century citizens
achieve full development of their potential. Envisioned County Public Schools
believes that students and teachers can use technology to create a dynamic
learning environment which offers greater opportunities to achieve at higher
levels. ECPS will provide meaningful learning experiences to students so that
they will have the opportunity to develop the lifelong learning skills
necessary to be productive citizens in our connected learning community.
Vision
Envisioned County Public Schools
envisions a connected learning community in which technological tools are used
to improve the quality of education for all students and the quality of life
for all citizens. ECPS believes this connected learning community will produce
an improved educational system with high learning standards, parents who
frequently participate in the education of their children, and a business
community that works in partnership with the schools to create opportunities
for economic growth.
Goals & Strategies
I. Improve academic
achievement for ALL students while closing achievement gaps.
II. Establish and
maintain school climates and facilities that are safe, orderly, and supportive
of effective teaching and learning.
III. Develop and
implement procedures and programs that will infuse technology to assist in
improving the physical and fiscal management, efficiency, effectiveness and
accountability of the school division.
IV. Reduce the
over-representation of minority and other at-risk students in Special Education.
V. Develop programs to
promote the recruitment and retention of highly qualified teachers and other
staff.
VI. Promote and
encourage positive home, school, business and community relations that
encourage student achievement.
Needs
Assessment
Strengths
· Envisioned
County Public Schools is located in a rural part of Virginia. The total student
population for the division is 1,972 students. There is a diverse group of
faculty and staff ranging from doctoral educators to highly qualified
educators. This diversity also includes
ranges in age, ethnicity, background and skills. The faculty and staff from
across the division are engaged in the idea of providing meaningful educational
experiences. ECPS provides several workshops, professional development, and
conference opportunity for faculty growth.
Weaknesses
·The students here at Envisioned
County Public Schools come from various socioeconomic backgrounds. Four out of
five of the schools in ECPS currently qualify as Title 1 schools due to the low
socio-economic status of the students. This presents a weakness in that the
students have not been exposed to a variety of technology
Opportunities
·Envisioned County Public Schools is
building upon the current technology used within the county to provide students
with more opportunities to utilize these resources during their everyday
learning experiences. The division has decided to update computer labs in all
secondary schools to aid in online testing and technology based resources
needed for student learning. At the elementary level, all classrooms (Pre-K, K,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and Exceptional Education) will receive SMARTBoards (Pre-K – 3)
Promethean Boards (4-5) and HATCH Boards (Exceptional Education). These
technology devices will be purchased through grant funding and E-Rate as
applicable for both the Elementary and Secondary schools.
Threats
·Budgeting restrictions can also
provide a problem depending on the allocation of funding per the School Board.
Also, waiting for grant approval can be an issue along with (if approved) the
waiting on whether the grants have been accepted, the funds can take several
weeks to process. It is a possibility that there may be a delay in the purchase
of some equipment while waiting on the arrival of those funds.

Engagement
An
apparent goal of the ECPS Technology Plan is to have students to be actively
engaged in the usage of technology for content based learning. There is a
higher availability of SMART and Promethean Boards in the K-5 classes than
6-12. However there is a higher availability of Computers in grades 6-12 rather
than grades K-5. ECPS recognizes the importance of exposing our younger
students to technology advances and we are doing so by allowing them to use the
interactive resources available within their school In addition to the
students’ engagement, teachers must also be on board and engaged in the
implementation process. By surveying the teachers and taking their input into
account during the implementation we hope to have an engaged faculty and staff
as well.
Application
Tools
In addition to the already available
technology within the division, Envisioned County Public Schools would like to
include the following technology tools/resources:
- iPods
(100) for each of the five(5) schools within the division
- iPads
(150) for each of the(5) schools within the division
- Subscription
to www.unitedstreaming.com and www.ixl.com
Results
Our belief at Envisioned
County Public Schools is that through the assistance of our technology
integration staff, teacher participation and student engagement; our technology
plan will allow for positive results. ECPS hopes that our divisional faculty
and staff will embrace the implementation plan and work together to meet the
goals of the technology implementation plan. We want to see proficient
technology usage with student made presentations and web quests. The inclusion
of video conferencing with other schools within the division would provide
continued support for various grade levels.

(a) You will have a copy of the London Company's Instructions to
help guide you. Also, you can ask your fellow colonists (classmates and online
colonists) and the Native Americans for advice.
(2) Scoring: After you make all your decisions, you will receive
a report on the state of your colony based on these factors:
(a) Food: How well can you provide it for your colonists?
(b) Health: Can you keep your colonists from dying due to
disease, starvation, and attacks?
(c) Wealth: Can you make yourself and your sponsors at the London
Company rich from the discovery of gold and silver?
(3) Morale: Can you keep yourself in power by keeping everyone
happy\independent Practice:
(a) You will get to compare your colony to the historical
Jamestown at the end. By examining the "Now we know..." section, you
can learn from the mistakes of history.

Educational Technology Plan for Virginia
|
Envisioned County Public Schools’ Strategic Plan
|
Learning
|
Engaging and empowering learning experiences for
all learners (U.S. Department of
Education, 2010).
|
Create a learning environment that supports
21st century learning and that opens limitless possibilities for
students (Virginia
Department of Education, 2010).
|
Provide student with a meaningful learning
environment with technology integration practices.
|
Assessment
|
Level the
power of technology to measure what matters and use assessment data for
continuous improvement (U.S. Department of
Education, 2010).
|
In the assessment-centered environment teachers employ ongoing
formative assessments to monitor and demonstrate student progress, enable
students to revise and improve their thinking, and help them identify
problems that need to be addressed (Virginia Department of Education, 2010).
|
Teachers will create assessments to determine the
necessary actions need to enhance student achieve. Utilizing technology based
lesson must be used during this process.
|
Teaching
|
Professional
educators will be supported individually and in teams by technology that
connects them to data, content, resources, expertise, and learning
experiences that can empower and inspire them to provide more effective teaching
for all learners (U.S. Department of
Education, 2010).
|
Teachers will become familiar with software programs
for technology integration (Virginia Department of Education, 2010).
|
In collaboration with the Instructional
Technology Resources Teachers, division educators will receive assistance
with their 21st century teaching and learning practices while
including technology based learning to daily lessons and instructional
practices.
|
Infrastructure
|
All
students and educators will have access to a comprehensive infrastructure for
learning when and where they need it (U.S.
Department of Education, 2010)..
|
Technology support personnel added to ensure the
effective operation and maintenance of the technology with Virginia Public
Schools (Virginia
Department of Education, 2010).
|
Technical support provided with web-based
applications, tools, and new technologies that are present with the division.
|
Productivity
|
Redesign
processes and structures to take advantage of the power of technology to
improve learning outcomes while making more efficient use of time, money, and
staff (U.S.
Department of Education, 2010).
|
Continue exploring and implementing innovative
ways to improve teaching, learning, and productivity in schools. The
Educational Technology Plan for Virginia: 2010-15 articulates our vision and
provides a framework to support this work(Virginia Department of Education,
2010).
|
At all levels ECPS will redesign processes and
structures to improve learning outcomes while making more efficient use of
time, money, and staff. Additional technologies will be provided to ECPS as
additional funding is received.
