Francis Howell Shool District Technology Committee FRANCIS HOWELL SHOOL DISTRICT TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE 2017-2022 STRATEGIC PLAN - AREAS OF FOCUS FOR CONSIDERATION 2016 Presented by: Ray Eernisse, Chief Information Officer 2017-2022 Strategic Plan - Areas of Focus for Consideration The District Technology Committee (DTC) meets regularly for the purpose of reviewing, researching and discussing technology for the Francis Howell School District. The membership is comprised of parents, administrators, Board of Education members and staff. As the District is preparing to develop the next five year strategic plan, the technology committee focused its’ work this year developing key initiatives to be considered by the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC). The discussions and ideas were categorized in the following four areas: Student Learning, Funding, Resources, and Professional Development. The remainder of this report will briefly outline specific items, relating to education technology, that should be given due consideration in their impact on the mission and vision of the Francis Howell School District for the years 2017-2022. The bolded items reflect the discussions and recommendations from the DTC. 5/3/2016 Student Learning | Early Learning (PK-5) and STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) were 2 priority areas identified as needing more focus during the next strategic plan. Currently, the District has no defined technology curriculum for grades PK-5. These skills are important to develop at this age to ensure students are comfortable and knowledgeable with technology. Many of the district and state assessment tests are moving to online and the district’s core curriculum has technology embedded. In order NOLOGY COMMITTEE NOLOGY for students to gain the most from instruction and instructional staff to learn the most from student’s assessments, they must spend more time on the content versus learning the technology. The committee felt the District should place more focus on STEM initiatives. The addition of the PLTW(Project Lead the Way) program at the high schools and the EBD (Engineering by Design) at the middle schools are a good start; however, the group felt additional opportunities in the area of Robotics and Coding (computer programming) would be beneficial to teach students creativity and critical thinking. The topic of a device for every student (1:1) was discussed. Some felt this belonged under the Resources category while a majority thought it needed to be FRANCIS HOWELL SHOOL DISTRICT TECH DISTRICT SHOOL HOWELL FRANCIS identified as part of the Student Learning ideas. 1 All agreed to the importance of the District coming to terms in the next 5 years to meet this critical need. The final areas of focus for this category dealt with Online and Personalized Learning. More opportunities for student to access classes via online as well as developing the skills to learn online need to be considered. Students going to post-secondary schools or even in the workplace are being required to take part in furthering their learning via online and self-paced content. Personalizing the learning allows each student to apply their own learning style and strengths in the instructional process. It also allows teachers to teach to the specific student in a way to connect with him/her. This is a shift in pedagogy that will take both time and professional development for staff. Funding For the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 the technology budget has been greatly reduced from prior years. It is no surprise this category was brought forward as needing attention in the next strategic plan. The ideas ranged from dedicated resources to alternative funding sources. The group discussed 2 ideas to be explored by the SPC: 1) Dedicated Tax Levy – declare a certain amount of the approved tax levy to be used for technology, similar to 5/3/2016 | capital levy. Although there may be restrictions based on legal or accounting laws, it should be further studied to determine how it might be possible. This type of allocation would ensure in years of financial uncertainty, funding for such a core element to instruction is not impacted, 2) Per student allocation – this idea was brought forward as a way to provide equity to each student regardless of parent teacher organizations donations and contributions or building budget priorities. Alternative funding sources such as Advertising, Technology Fees and Grant Writing for technology were 3 ideas the group felt should be explored. In the past, advertising has been discussed with the Finance committee and the district has adopted policies to support this idea. Allowing advertising on our website, developing a mobile app that includes advertisements and designing desktop home screens with advertisements are all possible means of generating revenue for technology. The possibility of assessing a technology fee to students is something that should be studied to determine the feasibility in meeting the 1:1 objective. FRANCIS HOWELL SHOOL DISTRICT TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE TECHNOLOGY DISTRICT SHOOL HOWELL FRANCIS 2 As there are other “pay to play” fees in public schools for sports, band, parking, a fee for technology may not be so far out of the realm of possibility. Lastly, grant writing is an area that FHSD has had limited success due to the relatively low free and reduced lunch percentage of the District. There are competitive grant opportunities; however, these typically are very involved and can be specific in nature. It may be possible to hire a grant writer on a salary base plus commission basis to ensure the position pays for itself. Resources Technology in the classroom requires resources to make certain it is accessible, reliable and seamless for students and staff. To that end, much conversation was had by the committee in terms of the network, student access, digital resources and technology support. The current network design has been in place for 10+ years and has grown in terms of internet bandwidth over 20 times greater than when originally implemented. The infrastructure has reached its limitations and is in need of increased bandwidth to meet the new demands. During the last 3 years of online state assessment, various services 5/3/2016 have had to be blocked to provide the necessary bandwidth for students taking the | tests. The 2015-2016 school year proved especially difficult to meet the needs in the classroom and the District was forced to suspend its Bring Your Own Device program. Student Access continues to be a point of conversation. Certainly, the first thing that comes to mind is a device for every student, an idea previously mentioned. However, other areas of access needing to be addressed should NOLOGY COMMITTEE NOLOGY also be considered. Access to the Learning Commons before and after school so students may use the technology has been identified as a need. In the absence of a 1:1 program, the District should expand the current student device loan program, laptops and hotspots. Buildings report this is meeting the needs of some students without access to technology at home but more is needed. Lastly, SSO (single sign-on) technologies should be implemented in the classroom to protect the instructional minutes for staff and students. Teachers report one of the struggles with using technology in the classroom is the time wasted getting students logged in to the resources they need access. SSO provides a single log-in for user access to websites and applications. FRANCIS HOWELL SHOOL DISTRICT TECH DISTRICT SHOOL HOWELL FRANCIS 3 Involving the business community in the educational process is something most districts strive to meet. The District is engaging in a partnership with other districts and St. Charles Community College to engage businesses via internships and job shadowing, among other ways. However, when talking about resources it becomes difficult for businesses to help out. The committee discussed exploring community-based Wi-Fi access as a way to involve the local businesses in supporting students. This program helps identify student-friendly businesses that are willing to allow students to connect to their Wi-Fi to complete school work. Shifting from print to digital resources is more of a marathon than a sprint. It takes time to make the necessary curriculum changes, retrain staff and provide the technologies to support digital resources. The District has as part of the curriculum revision and adoption cycle a process to determine the materials needed to support the curriculum. As part of this process, the technology committee feels more conversations and adoption of digital products vs. printed should continue to have focus. Along those lines, it is strongly recommended the District push forward and implement a district-wide learning management system (LMS). Most teachers are using some form of a free LMS, (e.g., Schoology, Moodle) at this time. An LMS should include assessment, 5/3/2016 | recommendation engines for interventions, curriculum management and communication as part of its feature set. This type of system would streamline curriculum change management and create efficiencies with prescribing interventions for struggling learners. Technology support falls into 2 categories; 1) technical and 2) instructional. The need for additional technical support for technology is always on the list of needs. Due to budgetary cuts, some building supports for technology have been eliminated. The reduction of the 21st Century Learning and Library paraprofessionals have left little building instructional technology supports. The structure of the Instructional Technology Specialist position does not provide enough time in supporting teachers using technology and should be reconfigured. A student technology help desk program is something the District has on a limited basis at this time. Scaling this type of program district-wide could prove to be beneficial to meeting some of the simple technical requests, thus allowing the building technicians to focus on more complex issues. Instructional support involves certified teachers (instructional technology coaches) being the go-to person for teachers when integrating technology into everyday classroom instruction.

  • The 'Item Number' in Indian Cinema: Deconstructing the Paradox
    Journal of Culture, Society and Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8400 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.39, 2018 The ‘Item Number’ in Indian Cinema: Deconstructing the Paradox Isha Jain (Corresponding author) National Law School of India University, Bangalore, India Abstract The “item number” is a hyper-sexualised song-and-dance performance that is characteristic to mainstream Bollywood cinema. When viewed in the context of a general tendency towards the censorship of public depictions of sexualized women in other spheres of the Indian polity, the ubiquity and popularity of item numbers reflects a confounding cultural paradox. The aim of this article is to deconstruct this paradox, by identifying the narrative structures and plot devices employed by film-makers to market these performances without suffering the disapproval of either the Indian State apparatus or the purportedly prudish Indian cinema- goer. Introduction The Indian State, through both its formal and informal centres of power, continues to burden the Indian woman with the charge of guarding national pride, culture, and morality.1 The defiling of the Indian woman, synonymous with her sexualisation, is the defiling of India. This parallel is evident in the title of “Mother India”, a 1957 film centred around a de-sexualised, self-sacrificial female protagonist intended to be emblematic of both the ideal Indian woman and of India herself.2 Yet, the Indian film industry has succeeded at carving out a niche for the commodification and sale of female sexuality within a broader milieu characterised by the disapprobation of that very sexuality. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the “item number”,3 a hyper-sexualised cinematic performance that is both paradoxically and quintessentially Bollywood.

  • DISTRICCT SHOOL #5 – CARTER ROAD As Early As 1813, When
    DISTRICCT SHOOL #5 – CARTER ROAD As early as 1813, when Perinton was established as a town, classes were being held in a one-room frame building at the corner of Carter and Whitney Roads. District School #5 served 42 children for 6 months at a cost of $10.85 in 1819. By 1821 the number had increased to 79 and the money to $18.34. The number of students remained more or less in the 70 to 80 range through 1845. School district boundaries were modified several times during that same period, usually by shifting land to an adjoining district in order to accommodate the growing population. Reflecting the development in the village of Fairport between the 1850’s and 1900, the school population in District #5 declined from earlier highs to an average of about 50 students per year with an average yearly cost of about $70. By 1905 and 1906, the student population had declined to 28 and 30 respectively. The little schoolhouse itself was in good repair with the exception of what seems to have been a common problem, the need for a new and better “closet.” Ella Kennedy, the teacher in 1905, was rated as “good” in all respects and earned a salary of $32 per month. Clark Furman, the teacher in 1906, was only rated as “fair,” and as “not strong in discipline,” but his salary was $36 per month. In 1905, Bessie Newton’s report card shows that she studied spelling, reading, writing, grammar, arithmetic, geography, history, and physiology and that she was a well-behaved high 90’s student.
