Purpose & Use

The Long-Range Plan for Technology (LRPT), and its accompanying web-based Resource Center, are intended to support a wide range of campus-based and district-wide professionals.

Administrators

The LRPT and web-based Resource Center is intended to be used by LEA Administrators as a toolkit to help ensure that each district has the guidance and informational resources it needs to develop long range technology plans that meet their unique needs.

Teachers

The LRPT provides teachers and educators with guidance and training tools on how to support the ever-changing role that technology can play in the classroom and in learning.

Technology Leaders

It is up to the LEA Technology Leaders to be at the forefront, often leading the district’s work on managing data, reliable and safe infrastructure, and cybersecurity.

Curriculum & Instructional Technology Leaders

Curriculum and Instructional Technology Leaders are the guides within the LEA that teachers, students, and staff look to for daily implementation support, interpretation of program data, and leadership in digital citizenship.

Technology can be used inside and outside the classroom to improve education and help meet the strategic goals of education statewide.

Strategic Technology Goals

The LRPT Advisory Committee has developed six strategic goals and 18 focus areas that they believe represent the technology trends and priorities in education. Each LEA should carefully consider how the six strategic goals outlined in this plan align with their own objectives and should strive to achieve positive progress in each focus area.
