Adapted from the 2016-2019 NSEA Collective Bargaining Agreement

Changes in technology, the introduction of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), and the variety of devices available at all schools require that this Committee facilitate the implementation of these digital resources by engaging in an ongoing process to develop, implement, and communicate technology-infused strategic plans aligned with a shared vision.

Instructional technology includes the technological resources and professional development to meet and exceed student-learning goals, to support effective instructional practice, and maximize performance of school employees and district learners.  Instructional technology enables staff to effectively use their time; access information and curricula; enter and utilize student data; communicate with other staff, students, and parents.

Major Duties

The Committee is tasked with the following major duties:

Communication

Develop two-way communication and reporting mechanisms for current and future instructional technology initiatives.  This communication is intended to generate ideas, input, feedback, and opinions of staff.

Vision

Identify, define, prioritize, and select instructional technology integration projects to address the needs described above that are supportive of district goals, performance measures, and instructional priorities.  Technology may include, but not be limited to, software and hardware such as computing devices, instructional presentation technologies, phones, productivity software, online grading and report card system(s), web pages for staff, schools and departments, online IEP systems, student learning technology, and other forms that have not yet been developed or identified that address these needs.  Technology that is unrelated to instruction, such as District administrative software, shall not be part of the committee’s jurisdiction.

Innogrants

Assist in the review of project proposals to ensure they meet needs described above and align with and are supportive of district goals, performance measures, and instructional priorities.

Implementation

Serve as clearinghouse and forum for the discussions and challenges and issues related to instructional technology initiatives, including implementation.

Subcommittees

Act as an oversight committee for projects and/or work that may be planning and carried out in subcommittees.

Research

Remain informed of emerging instructional technology issues, capabilities, and tools and incorporate those, as appropriate into a dynamic instructional technology vision.
