 * II.E.3 || Report for Director

|| The Director of Special Education needed to have a way to filter out the IEP students within the student management system based on a given criteria. I met with her and her secretary to hear what they wanted. I then talked with support from MMS, the company that provides the school district with its student management system, to hear their suggestion as to the most effective way to obtain the data. After listening to the needs of the Director and her secretary and the recommendations of the customer support at MMS, I then created special filters that could be used by the Director's secretary to pull the data each year. || The secretary found that the filters worked exactly as she needed them to and she has used them a number of times. || || The district etech plan was due for revision || The plan was revised and was approved by PDE. The plan was a one-year update. || || The district was due to write its strategic plan. I headed the committee for technology. Using the information discussed within the strategic planning meetings, I compiled the technology strategic plan for the district. || The technology plan was submitted along with the rest of the strategic plan and was accepted by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. || Policy

Students

Employees || The district has added a number of new tools for students and staff with regard to technology. Due to the number of changes of technology use within the district and society, an updated Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) needed to be created. I spent the summer of 08 collecting information, researching various policies from other schools and reviewing school law. The outcome was a revised district policy that was able to also be broken down for both the students and teachers. This new policy went into effect beginning the 09-10 school year. || The policy went before the Superintendent and school board and was approved. The policy took effect as of the 09-10 school year. All new students enrolled during the summer before the 09-10 school year, and their parents, will read and sign that they understand the policy guidelines and expectations and accountability. ||
 * II.E.3 || MMS User Guide

|| As the district technology integrator I maintain communication between the secretaries with regard to the student management system guidelines. There is a booklet that I maintain and put out to the secretaries each time it is revised. In addition, all new secretaries receive copies. || With ugrades to the system annually and continued requests for additional data by PDE, it has been very helpful for us to have and to maintain these guidelines. They help the secretaries anytime there is a question about how to put in a particular piece of information. ||

Building Project Presentation || This is a link to the group project created as part of the program course work. || The group presented the project to the class. It was a good learning experience in that we had to plan the project from beginning to end. We wer able to divide the work up between us using our individual strengths to successfully complete each task required in the project. || return to Performance
