District Priority 4.0: Use cutting edge technology to enhance
instruction and promote innovation

- Survey completed by 523 teachers Majority of teachers taught
elementary school grades Over 60% of the teachers have taught in
Nash-Rocky Mount Schools for less than 15 years
- Slide 30
- During the 2011-2012 AY, the majority of Nash-Rocky Mount
teachers received some technology-related PD District Priority 4.0:
Use cutting edge technology to enhance instruction and promote
innovation
- Slide 31
- Teachers reported that they were primarily skilled at using
technology and media in ways that are associated with adaptation
and other lower levels of the technology integration continuum.
This means they are skilled at identifying digital resources and
media to embed into lesson plans and assignments, using multimedia
presentations, using digital resources to develop assessments, and
using technology and digital media to allow students to clarify
their conceptual understanding of topics related the state
standards-based curriculum. However, teachers do not feel they have
the ability to engage in activities using technology that are known
to inspire higher order thinking, mastery of technology and
exploration of real world problems or issues among their students.
District Priority 4.0: Use cutting edge technology to enhance
instruction and promote innovation
- Slide 32
- In the three months prior to the survey, Nash-Rocky Mount
teachers used technology in the classroom at least once per week to
present subject-related concepts, develop curricula or assignments,
adapt instructional activities to individual student needs, to
assess student performance, and to collaborate and share lessons
with other teachers within the school district. District Priority

- Excellent Public Schools Act North Carolina Senate Bill 795
requires all public schools to be assigned, annually, a letter
grade A,B,C,D or F. Currently, the indicators include performance
only (EOG for Elementary and Middle and EOC, ACT, WorkKeys,
Graduation Rate and FRC Math participation for High) but a growth
component will likely be included to more closely relate to the NC
Ready Accountability Model. Scores will be based on receiving a
point for every percent of students that meet the expectation of
each indicator and the grades will reflect as follows A:90-100
