School Technology Evaluation Summary
After reviewing the Maturity Model benchmarks for technology, my task was to rate my school on five areas: administrative, curricular, support, connectivity, and innovation. There were four levels for each area: emergent, islands, integrated, and intelligent. Overall, my school ranked in the integrated category. Characteristics of an integrated school are regular technology use by students, use of administrative functions by teachers and staff, and access to Internet and technology training.
By completing this evaluation, I learned a lot about my school and the areas where we are doing well. I was pleased to be able to rank my school as integrated, although I know there are improvements that must be made to move us to the next level. I will be sharing some of this information with support staff at my school to help us improve. I will also make changes in my instruction to move myself into the intelligent level of technology maturity.
