    CURRICULUM. WHAT ARE STUDENTS LEARNING?

    In the vision for my school, students would be learning a

    robust curriculum that would be integrated andsupportedthrough the use of technology. The technology would not be

    the end all but it would be the tool for collaboration,

    communication and discovery. What the students learn willbe shared knowledge and they would be given the

    opportunity solve problems together with that knowledge.

    My school would have curriculum that is meaningful to real

    world systems and to the marketplace of today.

    TEACHERS: WHO, WHAT, HOW?

    In my school teachers would be valued as the experts andthe life force of the building. With that honor they have the

    responsibility to make all decisions, teaching practices and

    planning with the success for all students in mind.

    The teachers in my school are highly qualified, but they arenot the only educators. All staff right up to the custodial

    would have a role in being an active part in the students

    learning.

    STUDENTS: WHERE, WHEN . WHAT?

    The students in my school are young. They can be found inthe school environment, but not confined to a desk. In fact,

    in my school there would be no individual desks, but there

    would be tables of various heights and shapes..

    They would have access to a variety of current technologyand their teachers would be well trained in that technology.

    My school would have traditional hours for elementary but

    not traditional time structured days. Learning would be in

    blocks and may be taught and guided by different teachers.

    Students would always be the focus of all school decisions

    and choices.

    ASSESMENT

    In my school we would follow the Common Core, of course,

    and use the Smarter Balanced Assessment along with

    various formative assessments along the way.

    As for the grades K-2, The assessments would be formative

    and developed by the teacher. Summative assessments atthis stage of the game would be researched and designed

    by the grade level team teachers and should align in

    structure to the Smarter Balanced test.

    TECHNOLOGY

    In my school technology would be applied in the ways I just read aboutin an article by the University of Pittsburgh. It would be:

    Alignedwith classroom objectives, student needs and the skills of theteachers.

    Accessibleto prepared students and teachers.

    Assessment, whether it be blogging, group work on google docs,tweeting, test taking or creating.

    Reinforcement Technology would be used to supplement and expandupon teaching and learning not to replace or repeat learning.
