Stakeholders
were asked to brainstorm, develop, write, and/or approve a comprehensive
district technology plan that would prepare our students to become technology
literate and be able to use technology in career goals. The stakeholders were charged with setting
district-wide goals and coming up with a plan aligned with state and national
academic and technology standards that would be both attainable and
visionary.
Rhea
County Schools Technology Planning Team Include:
Our
Rhea County students will be among the top in the state and the nation in
academic achievement and technical skill development. To accomplish this, our
schools and community will unite as partners in the education process. Our
schools will be responsible for providing all students with:
v Challenging
learning opportunities through an integrated curriculum
v Hands-on
experiences necessary for today’s technically advanced society
v Resources
necessary to set realistic career goals
Since education
extends far beyond the four walls of the classroom, we see the community’s role
as:
v All
parents and guardians becoming actively involved in the development of their
children’s intellectual growth, citizenship skills, and physical and emotional
well-being
v Business
industry and government joining together in the teaching and learning process.
v Local
government assuring the availability of critical resources to provide our
students with a top-quality learning environment.
In this vision,
Rhea County will enhance its “Community of Learning” where the focus of
education is extended to all community members.
