IV. Action Plan – Goal 1

  1. Goal #1:  Transition toward a balanced classroom environment where technology is used intentionally as a tool rather than a primary delivery system. This goal will better embed digital fluency by selecting digital tools only when they uniquely amplify learning or problem-solving. In doing so, students will develop computational thinking as a routine mindset while maintaining a healthy, balanced relationship with technology.

              V. NYSED Initiatives Alignment

              1. How will the district’s use of instructional technology support a comprehensive and sustained effort to improve student performance and academic standards, while also addressing the need to provide equitable learning opportunities “everywhere, all the time” (National Technology Plan)?
                1. Our approach to instructional technology is guided by the following belief: technology should serve teaching and learning, not define them. Our goal is to reduce screen time and instead engage students and staff in active learning: generating, evaluating, and sharing thinking together. To that end, we select tools, both low-tech and digital, based on the objectives of each lesson, not on the technology itself. We identify the specific points in the instructional process where a tool best supports the goal, whether that means helping students access content independently, collaborate around concepts and skills, or transfer their learning to solve problems, engage in inquiry, and share what they know. This intentional approach ensures that technology expands equitable access to high-quality learning rather than substituting for it. We have the tools and resources in place to support this work.
              2. At the start of the 2026-27 school year, will the district offer full-time virtual instruction to any students? (Select all that apply)
                1. None of our students will participate in a full-time virtual instruction program. Other.
              3. If the district files or has filed a Smart Schools Investment Plan (SSIP) to apply for Smart Schools Bond Act funds, all responses in this survey align with the district’s response to any related question(s) in the SSIP.
