EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

District Technology Vision
As members of a global society, citizens living in the Twenty-First Century will have to be proficient
users and consumers of technology. Washington Township School District views technology as a
workplace tool, an educational tool, a communications tool, and an information tool. Due to the critical
role technology plays in contemporary life, all district students will be given equal access to the tools
of technology and provided an opportunity to learn in a technological environment.
Educational Technology will be used to supplement instruction at school and at home. Educational
Technology will provide students an opportunity to access the almost limitless information sources
available on the World Wide Web. Educational Technology will serve as a source of professional
development activities for professional and support staff. Finally, Educational Technology will provide
a variety of communication links between parents and the School District, and the community and the
School District.

BARRIERS
Budget issues continue to be a constant concern. Technology changes rapidly and every new
device/software package can not be purchased simply because it is new. Technology purchases
are approached from the standpoint of necessity. The district thoroughly evaluates each new
proposed purchase to ensure that it meets a need and not just fills a desire. The district expects
budget issues to continue to be a concern, but by employing sound management and procurement
policies we will continue to meet or exceed the needs of our students and staff.

Prioritize the identified needs.
Hardware and software needs are prioritized by necessity and budget availability. Staff training
needs are prioritized by skill level. Basic courses are provided for those users who need a basic
level of understanding. Advanced courses are provided to those users who have successfully
completed the basic courses and are ready for a more in-depth approach to the subject matter.
Educators and staff are continually engaged in the needs assessment process. Identifying needs is
constant. Once the need is fully defined, an investigation of possible solutions is undertaken.
Alternatives are discussed and tested until the best and most cost effective solution is identified.
A plan for implementation is developed and training, if required, is initiated. After
implementation, a review is conducted to ensure that the hardware/software or process selected
to meet the need is effective and produces the expected results. The staff is constantly looking
for ways to accomplish our goals and achieve our vision by meeting or exceeding the needs of
our students while keeping our budgetary responsibilities in mind.

VII.B.2.
How ongoing, sustained professional development for all
educators will be provided that furthers the effective use of
technology, models 21st century skills and demonstrates global
outreach and collaboration in the classroom or library media
center.
Staff members will continue to participate in professional development activities relating to the
development of new curricula for educational technology which includes a review of the State
standards, identification of technology-based learning activities/projects, and selection of
materials designed to differentiate instruction and to meet the new standards.
The district will continue to provide ongoing professional development to ensure the continued
success of the student management system.
Training has been provided on web-based applications which provide teachers and students with
resources for web activities. This approach represents a fuller utilization of technology as a
learning tool for students, aligned with each student’s individual instructional needs and learning
styles, rather than the use of technology as merely a teaching tool.
The district will continue to provide training in the use of wireless, mobile computer labs.
The Washington Township Summer 2010 Washington Township Professional Development and
Computer Institute will include a wide array of both computer/technology workshops as well as
professional development opportunities in instructional methodologies, content enrichment, and
effective student assessment strategies, with a particular focus in the areas of language arts
literacy, mathematics, differentiating instruction, and strategies for meeting the needs of
academically and behaviorally-challenged and classified students.
The Summer Professional Development & Computer Institute includes multiple workshop
offerings. The program presenters are made up of in-house presenters as well as several locally
and nationally recognized specialists. The program featured a range of topics, including
technology-related workshops. Workshops were provided both during day and evening sessions.
Participation in the 2010 Summer Professional Development & Computer Institute is extended to
district employees and to staff members in private schools which serve the educational needs of
Washington Township resident students, as well as to staff members throughout Gloucester
County.
Page 131 of 181
VII.B.2.
As part of the District’s professional development plan and as an outgrowth of training related to
brain-based learning, staff members thoroughly studied the research supporting the use of Fast
ForWord programming as a literacy tool to develop students’ auditory discrimination,
processing, memory, sequencing, and attention capacities. As a result, the district purchased Fast
ForWord licenses for each of the elementary schools. This program will be expanded and
additional training will be provided.
The District provides ongoing training and technical assistance to staff and parents to ensure the
successful use of the student information management system.
Technology infusion training continues to enable staff members to utilize the resources available
to them to implement software and web-based programs.
Staff members receive training in the development of individual teacher web pages using the
district’s webpage authoring software program. This technology is instrumental in increasing the
frequency and quality of parent communication.
The District continues to offer technology training to staff members that will enable them to
communicate more effectively between home and school using advanced features of the student
management system.
Staff members at specific levels and/or in specific departments will be provided opportunities to
develop and share lessons which effectively and meaningfully incorporate technology. The plan
will also provide opportunities for staff training and investigation of accessible and emerging
technologies.
The District is expanding student access to technology by acquiring wireless mobile computer
labs for the high school, and all elementary and secondary schools. New software applications to
support students’ acquisition of technological literacy (grades K-8) have been purchased as part
of the district’s curriculum adoption cycle. Existing instructional software programs may be
acquired through the Comprehensive School Reform Grant and/or local funds. Necessary staff
training will be provided.
Page 132 of 181
VII.B.2.
The District will continue to provide professional development opportunities for staff members

of instruction of technology/computer education.
The District will provide ongoing training to include the following: student management
software, assistive learning software, Smart Boards, Mimeo Boards, using the Internet in lesson
design, application software, video conferencing/electronic/virtual field trips, parent access to the
student management system, authoring software for the creation of teacher web pages,
Inspiration software, cyber safety, Microsoft Office Suite, as well as other technology training
offered through the Summer Computer Institute.
The District will promote familiarity with state-of-the-art technology through formal training and
grade level meetings to share information, best practices and make recommendations.

Each School within the district has a technology coordinator whose responsibilities include
providing leadership and support for teachers in integrating assistive technology into the
curriculum. Working as a team, the teachers, technology coordinators, and IT staff ensure that
assistive technology is integrated into the network infrastructure. Text and graphic enhancement
software is used for students with vision impairment. Amplification devices are used in
classrooms for students with hearing impairments.
Homebound students can receive real-time, in-class instruction by means of video conferencing
/distance learning equipment. Specialized software is used in small group settings to promote
overall literacy skills. Wireless student response systems are used to allow participants to
respond by using a response card keypad. Specialized software is also utilized for special needs
students on an individual basis, as determined by each student's Individualized Education
Program (IEP).
Staff members regularly attend conferences/training sessions that deal with recognizing the need
for assistive technology and the process required to integrate assistive technology into the
classroom environment.
Staff members maintain memberships in ISTE, NETS, and ASCD.

Project professional development activities that will continue to
support identified needs through 2013, including all partners.
The District’s professional development plan, through the process of planning, implementation,
and evaluation, reflects a continuum of analyzing the needs of staff, programs, and students
followed by the delivery of professional development opportunities designed to target those
needs. The delivery of professional development opportunities is, in turn, followed by reassessment of the efficacy of the professional development. This process leads to continual
improvement and refinement. Furthermore, the district’s delivery of professional development is
generally a multi-year, process-oriented model in which research is conducted in the initial phase
to identify the best models and best provider(s) of a particular professional development topic.
A pilot group is then initially trained.
Subsequently, the first-year’s training is assessed and refined in the following year to include
additional cohorts of trainees as well as the use of study groups among the initial cohort of
trainees to refine and ensure the carryover of the training into practice. This process promotes a
―training of the trainer‖ model with subsequent on-going training for novice teachers, refresher
training for veteran staff, and evening workshops, as appropriate, for parents.
This model has been successfully used to implement Peer Coaching, Balanced Literacy, Guided
Reading, Kid Writing, Word Study, DIBEL’s, Fundations, Scoring Student Work Using Rubrics,
Let-Me-Learn, Differentiated Instruction, Learning Styles, Cooperative Learning, and training
related to various applications of technology software. By continuing to provide meaningful
professional development, the district has enabled its teaching staff to maintain a studentcentered, goal-driven program that both addresses our district needs and enriches the quality of
education in Washington Township.
Additionally, our local professional development committee’s commitment to reflective practice
allows us to assess the successes encountered in the implementation of the previous and current
years’ professional development plans, while simultaneously identifying the challenges and
deficiencies in those plans. For example, determinations can be made relative to a possible need
to change a consultant, or a need to provide additional follow-up/reinforcement training, or a
need for a change in focus relative to state testing results, or a need arising from new
state/federal mandates. Consequently, this process of reflection compels us to identify what
went well and what is still needed, thereby forming the foundation of the upcoming year’s plan
and the underpinning of a continuous improvement model of professional development, which
ensures ongoing, sustained, and classroom-focused professional learning.
