Our vision for technology is to improve on the great foundation we presently have. To achieve this we aim to improve communication between divisions making the program more streamlined and cohesive in purpose. Uniform reasonable benchmarks or outcome goals for classroom teachers in the area of technology integration need to be developed, and a process to evaluate progress on these goals needs to be enacted. Requiring technology goals necessitates greater integration support and technology training for teachers. New methods including peer mentoring and increased support personnel are needed to provide greater support and training to classroom teachers. We envision a standards based college preparatory curriculum, which consistently requires and promotes twenty first century technology skills.
