  1. What do You Mean by Technologically Literate Students? – Reporting Student Success for Title II D NCLB Grade 8 Technology Literacy Requirement: What does it mean for me and my district?

  2. NCLB Title II, Part D: EETT Grade 8 Technology Literacy Requirement • Evidence and analysis of data relating to student Information and Technology literacy levels • “To assist every student in crossing the digital divide by ensuring that every student is technologically literate by the time the student finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the student’s race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location or disability.” NCLB: Title II D, Sec 2402 http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/esea2/pg34.htm

  3. NCLB Title II, Part D: EETT Grade 8 Technology Literacy Requirement • NCLB asks your local Information & Technology Plan for two items centered on Student Proficiency • Identification of all students with special needs or underserved populations • Evidence and analysis of data relating to student Information and Technology literacy levels

  4. NCLB Title II, Part D: EETT Grade 8 Technology Literacy Requirement • Identification of all students with special needs or underserved populations • You need to identify special needs /underserved students and tell how they are ensured access to your district’s technology • “Special Needs” is more inclusive than Special Education • Special Needs: EEL, ESL, TAG, Homeless, Migrant, At-risk, Section 504, etc……. • ….includes students with needs who do not have an IEP

  5. Definition of Technology Literacy • State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) Definition of Literacy “ Technology literacy is the ability to responsibility use appropriate technology to communicate; solve problems; and access, manage, integrate, evaluate, and create information to improve learning in all subject areas and to acquire lifelong knowledge and skills in the 21st century.” http://www.setda.org/NLItoolkit/TLA/tla02.htm

  6. Definition of Technology Literacy What the definition means in terms of Wisconsin’s Model Academic Standards for Information and Technology Literacy • The four content standards are: • A. Media and Technology • B. Information and Inquiry • C. Independent Learning • D. The Learning Community

  7. Definition of Technology Literacy • A. Media and Technology - Students in Wisconsin will select and use media and technology to access, organize, create, and communicate information for solving problems and constructing new knowledge, products, and systems.

  8. Definition of Technology Literacy • B. Information and Inquiry - Students in Wisconsin will access, evaluate, and apply information efficiently and effectively from a variety of sources in print, nonprint, and electronic formats to meet personal and academic needs.

  9. Definition of Technology Literacy • C. Independent Learning - Students in Wisconsin will apply technological and information skills to issues of personal and academic interest by actively and independently seeking information; demonstrating critical and discriminating reading, listening, and viewing habits; and, striving for personal excellence in learning and career pursuits.

  10. Definition of Technology Literacy • D. The Learning Community - Students in Wisconsin will demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively in teams or groups, use information and technology in a responsible manner, respect intellectual property rights, and recognize the importance of intellectual freedom and access to information in a democratic society.

  11. Requirement Reporting • Two places for reporting this information First: • In your LEA Information and Technology Plan as part of your needs assessment analysis

  12. Requirement Reporting • Two places for reporting this information Second: • On ESEA Consolidated Application – End of Year Report for 2005 – 2006 • What percent of your Grade 8 students are technologically literate? • How have you determined this?

  13. Meeting the Requirement • The Big Question: How will LEAs meet this requirement? • The Big Answer: LEAs will decide!

  14. Meeting the Requirement • Three ways to meet the requirement • Use already embedded curricular projects/assignments • Stand alone assessments • Combination of both above • Each has advantages and disadvantages depending on a variety of factors unique to each LEA

  15. Meeting the Requirement • Use already Embedded Curricular Projects/Assignments • Local assessments of embedded ITL curriculum within core content areas • Locally developed progress monitoring assessments or assessments of unit projects • Observations logs • Examination of artifacts and/or portfolios

  16. One District’s Example We have each ITLS matched to a specific class. Teachers in that class will teach the ITLS as an "integrated" standard along with their "content area" standards, but the ITLS will be identified in the units they are taught in. So what I laid out was this then: • An ITLS is taught in a specific unit in a specific class. • The unit is assessed • The student earns a "passing" grade on the assessment for the unit. • The student is deemed to have then passed the ITLS. • The unit is a part of a class made up of many units. • The student passes the class because they passed the assessments for each of the units. The student would be then be deemed "proficient" at each of the ITLS identified in that specific class.

  17. Meeting the Requirement • Stand Alone Assessments tied to the ITLS Standards • Standardized tests • Self-assessment surveys • Combination of both Stand Alone Assessments Embedded Curricular Projects/Assignments

  18. Tools to Assist LEAs • Student Proficiency Tools: LEAs will decide! • PETI -- Profiling Educational Technology Integration: Resources for Assessing Readiness and Use (SETDA/Metiri) • http://www. setda-peti.org/ • NCRTEC Scoring Guide for Student Products • http://www.ncrtec.org/tl/sgsp/index.html • NETS Online Assessment (ISTE/CoSN/MicroSoft) • http://www.iste.org/resources/asmt/msiste

  19. For More Information… • USDoE website for Ed Tech http://www.ed.gov/programs/edtech/index.html • It gives generic language on the different sections of the law. • Next is the law itself with the different sections listed as links. • SEC. 2402. PURPOSES AND GOALS http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/esea02/pg34.html#sec2401 • The program guidance, see page two. http://www.ed.gov/programs/edtech/guidance.doc
