PLAN DURATION Technology Master Plan Page 5 Executive Summary The mission of the Jurupa Unified School District is to educate each student to the highest levels of academic achievement and prepare students to succeed in life. In 2010, California adopted a new set of academic standards for all students: the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). These new standards have been adopted by 45 states across the nation. In 2011-2012, Jurupa Unified began a plan to implement the state’s newly adopted Common Core State Standards. These new standards will assist teachers and schools in successfully preparing students for college and career options as they graduate from high school. The CCSS present an opportunity to design the next-generation learning models with technology being a key vehicle to increasing student achievement. Assembly Bill 484, signed into law on October 2, 2013, establishes the California Measurement of Academic Performance and Progress (CalMAPP) assessment system. The CalMAPP system replaces the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program. This new assessment system will require students to test online. On January 31, 2014 the new online assessment system was renamed the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) is developing and piloting the next-generation assessments that will align with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Beginning in 2014-2014, the summative computer adaptive assessments and performance tasks will be administered online in the last 12 weeks of the school year in grades 3-8 and 11 for English language arts (ELA)/literacy and mathematics. The online alternate assessment counterpart for students with significant cognitive disabilities is the National Center for State Collaborative (NCSC) assessment operational in spring 2015. The CCSS and the CAASPP assessment system will require technology to be used as a learning tool rather than a set of isolated standards. This will raise the expectations of our students to meet minimum digital literacy and technology proficiency skills. While all teachers can learn to use technology, they generally require extensive training, schoolwide support, and scheduled time for independent learning in order to feel confident and competent enough to use new technology effectively and frequently (Marzano and Magana, 2014). The purpose of this Technology Master Plan for July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2017 is to articulate a long range strategy for the uses of technology within the district – to identify the instructional and management needs within the district for which technology can provide tools to complete academic and administrative tasks. The plan was written in alignment with district mission statements and goals, Blue Print for Learning, the Local Education Agency Plan (LEAP), the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the District’s Transition to the Common Core. In support Technology Master Plan Page 6 of teaching and learning, this plan evaluates (1) the district’s infrastructure and support needs, (2) the financial requirements and fiscal impact of technology, and (3) the processes for monitoring the implementation of this plan. Reaching critical goals depends on improving professional development support, infrastructure, and expanding funding. Significant changes planned for 2014-17 include the following: Curriculum and Instruction – targeted implementation: One time Common Core funding, the third distribution of the state’s Education Technology K-12 Voucher Program, and the Local Control Funding Formula provide the opportunity to implement this technology plan to support better teaching, learning and collaboration. The district and school site representatives will meet annually to review the progress toward meeting the district’s technology goals and to design purchasing priorities. Professional Development: All staff will become proficient with technology tools for essential communication, administrative, and curriculum functions. Support for Aequitas’s Gradebook product, use of Aequitas’s Q student information system and Parent and Student Connect will continue. Follet training on Destiny for library staff will also continue. Management and clerical staff will be provided with multiple opportunities to increase technology proficiency. Instructional staff—administrators, coaches, teachers, and library staff will be provided with on-going opportunities to increase personal technology skills, access student data, use instructional technology, and effectively integrate technology into the adopted curriculum. Teachers will increase technology proficiency through various trainings on the use of laptops, projectors, iPads, N-computing and Multipoint systems, VDI devices, responders, document cameras and other technologies. Training will not only focus on functionality of these devices, but also on how to enhance student learning with technology through discovery and creation applications. Network Services and Infrastructure Objectives: Securing more bandwidth and upgrading the site switching and routing infrastructure to carry voice, video and data effectively, including interactive video conference connections during the coming threeyear cycle and providing network access through wireless hot-spots on campuses where portable notebook, mobile wireless devices or tablet PCs can be effectively used. Creation of online report cards, online high school course directory aligned with Q/CALPADS, improving information systems to use single database structure, improved graduate requirements and grade point average reporting, enhanced reporting with report builder and writer, SQL report server, enhanced data views and queries and business rules. Technology Master Plan Page 7 Budget Expansion: Allocation of budget to support technology replacement cycle and ensuring teachers have technology that is working and supported. Creation of grants funding calendar and infrastructure to pursue resources. Creation of partnerships, alliances, and coalitions with outside public and private agencies to secure additional resources. In the time period of July 2011-June 2014 covered by the previous JUSD Technology Master Plan, the following was accomplished: Developed a web portal for internal and external access to district information and communications resources. Every school site and department now has an external website. Every teacher has access to create a class website. Replaced aging unreliable Phonemaster phone notification system with the Blackboard parent notification system. This system allows teachers to easily communicate with parents through a series of pre-developed choices. Office staff can also create messages to go home to parents via voice message, text, or email. Developed and funded a computer replacement cycle to enable students and staff to meet the demands of the 21st century and to have success with the Common Core State Standards. Applied and received funding for E-Rate Year 15 project. This project will upgrade the Local Area Network (LAN) at 11 of our sixteen elementary schools. Increased resources to support the JUSD digital classroom. Examples include an increased use of digital projectors, increased use of document cameras, and initial deployment of iPads. Implemented the use of Aequitas’s Gradebook product for all teachers in the 13-14 school year. With the implementation of Gradebook as the default grading system used by all teachers, parents now have access to monitor their students’ progress and be partners in the educational progress. We believe this step will allow greater monitoring of students’ progress by both parents and students themselves. Expanded the usage of the Aequitas’s Q product in the 2013-2014 school year. Examples include the enhancement of behavior module and visit maintenance module to support the Positive Behavior Support initiative, and enhancement to Q’s transfer module. In the 2013-2014 school year, the Adult Education program began using Q. This allowed us to replace the old archaic ASAP software and save district funds. Technology Master Plan Page 8 Summer School and After School Tracks are now included in our live database. These changes were made in order to make more student information available to end users and will allow for tracking and reporting. Established Q user group meetings, technology coordinator meetings and library user group meetings. Adopted International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and National Education Technology Standards (NETS) for teachers. In 2013-14, Rivercrest Prepatory Online School opened. Rivercrest provides access to a rigorous, standard-based, college preparatory online learning curriculum for grades 9-12. Online Learning is provided with 24/7 access. Flexible schedules are supported that provide access to experiential school activities such as fine and performing arts programs, and school-based athletics. During the next three years the district plans to: Improve network connectivity between the District and the Riverside County Office of Education to Sunesys fiber optic network at 10 Gigabit speeds. Further develop digital resources to support the curriculum needs of the Common Core State Standards to have students produce, publish and collaborate using digital media. Continue computer replacement cycle started in the 13-14 school year for student and teacher computers. Provide support and training for Q module and Q Gradebook updates. Expand student computers, tablets, projectors and other digital devices in the classrooms. Further develop professional development to meet the needs of the District’s transition to the CCSS. Develop a Learning Management System to enable teachers to have total classroom and education management at their fingertips, including: course-creation and development tools, assignment dropboxes, discussion boards, closed-circuit message center, and access to drag-and-drop content management. Increase storage capacity in the data center. Increase server VM host capacity. Increase the WAN connection between the school sites and the district office’s data center to 10gbps, starting with the middle and high schools. As part of this project, our core switch will need to be upgraded. Technology Master Plan Page 9 Increase the density of our wireless access points to handle multiple simultaneous classrooms using laptops and tablets. Purchase a mobile device management (MDM) platform to support tablets. Build capacity in technology proficiency through professional development. Expand the use of technology in the core curriculum through professional development. Continue to improve support for California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS).

Technology Master Plan Page 17 The high school libraries maintain two librarian stations and a minimum of six library catalog search stations. Each high school library also has between 12-36 computers to be used for student research and class instruction. The library is open to students before and after school. b. Description of the district’s current use of hardware and software to support teaching and learning. There are four types of technology use in the Jurupa Unified School District; the use of technology to learn technology skills, the use of technology to enhance student learning, t h e use of technology for instruction, and the use of technology for information management and recordkeeping. Technology Use to Learn Technology Skills Students at the middle and high school level have the opportunity to participate in many technology electives that focus on learning a technology skill. Courses include basic and advanced computer proficiencies, video/broadcast production, animation, and web design. A selection of courses is offered each semester. Technology Use to Enhance Student Learning Students at elementary, middle and high school levels use technology software such as, word processing, publishing, presentation, spreadsheets, graphic organizers, graphing, and Internet research. Additionally they use these technology tools; scanners, digital cameras, and student response systems, to enhance and expand learning for all areas of the core curriculum. Students in intervention classes use computers to access curriculum in the R180 and Language! programs. Students also conduct research using Destiny and Title Peek software. Technology Use for Instruction All teachers use technology on a daily basis for attendance and student record keeping. In addition, teachers and administrators use technology to monitor and analyze student assessment data. Teachers’ use of technology for instruction varies from school to school and is based on access to the technology (see Curriculum Section A) and the level of technology integration experience and professional development opportunities. Technology Master Plan Page 18 Technology for Information Management and Recordkeeping All student performance assessment data requires a data management tool to create, administer, analyze, and report standards-based learning evidence at a local level. Educator’s Assessment Data Management System (EADMS) is our district’s data management system. EADMS provides staff with the ability to create and administer standards-based local assessments, provide teachers with individualized and classroom student reporting, as well as online or scanning testing support in order to see the performance lapses preventing students from achieving standards mastery. With the work of the curriculum Units of Study (UOS) assessments will be housed in EADMS so that teachers can analyze and use standards-based data reports to adjust instruction and identify students for intervention. In preparation for CCSS SBAC computer adaptive items and performance tasks, a CCSS-like assessment item bank, Measured Progress, will provide UOS members and Assessment Review Committee (ARC) teachers items that are SBAC aligned for unit integration. We are also moving to more online access for students’ progress reporting through Student, Parent, and Teacher Connect for accessibility by all shareholders. c. Summary of the district’s curricular goals and academic content standards in various district and site comprehensive planning documents. Based on the District’s status of Program Improvement Year 3+, the Jurupa Unified School District Education Technology Plan is closely aligned to the District’s Local Education Agency Program Improvement Plan (LEAP) which outlines the District Assessment Team’s recommendations for addressing the teaching and learning needs of the district and specifically problems of low achieving students. Note at the time this plan was being written the Local Control Accountability Plan had not been finalized.

List of clear goals, measurable objectives, annual benchmarks, and an implementation plan detailing how and when students will acquire technology and information literacy skills needed to succeed in the classroom and the workplace. Many students come to us with prior experience and use of technology; however, quite often there are gaps in students’ technology knowledge and specifically in their information literacy skills. While the goal of instructional technology is to use the technology in the context of extending, supporting, and enhancing the curriculum; it may be necessary to provide students with direct instruction in the use of technology resources and information literacy skills. Technology Master Plan Page 28 Often student exposure to technology is limited to the teacher who is using the technology resources to support instruction. Digital technology tools, such as laptops and academic software, have been shown to help low-income students develop proficiency and confidence in literacy, cultivate strong independent work habits, decrease disciplinary issues in class, and build skills and selfefficacy related to technology. Our goal is to support teachers’ instructional use of technology, while systematically moving toward the use of technology to extend student learning, increase collaboration, communication, engagement, critical thinking, level of discourse, and develop students’ ability to locate, use, and evaluate information (Palloff and Pratt, 2008). Technology and information literacy skills will be addressed directly and indirectly throughout the technology-based, curriculum-embedded activities. Standards for student technology skills are based on the International Society for Technology in Education (ITSE). Research and information fluency are addressed in the ITSE for students; however, the process for teaching the standards will be accomplished using the Big6 approach to information literacy. Big6 is a widely used method for teaching information search and technology skills in a systematic process. The Big6 process is research based and widely used throughout K-12 schools. In the 2013-2014 school year technology coordinators from each school site and core curriculum teachers developed a progression of technology skills necessary for K-6 students to be successful in the Common Core State Standards and the SBAC online exam. The progression of skills identified for K-6 students is as follows: CCSS-Guiding Standard ISTE Standard 3 Spreadsheet Skills I-Introducing, D-Developing, A-Applying 4th 5th 6th Understand spreadsheet terms i.e. cell, row, column I P P Use sum and averages I P P Copy/paste cells I P P Insert a column I P P Insert a row I P P Set print area I P P Apply color to rows, cells, columns I P P Insert graphics I P P Fill down a column I P P Find & select I P P Sort & filter I P P Format a table I P P Adjust alignment I P P Create charts I P P K Standards for Mathematical Practice 5.

List of goals and an implementation plan that describe how the district will address the appropriate and ethical use of information technology in the classroom so that students can distinguish lawful from unlawful uses of copyrighted works, including the following topics: the concept and purpose of both copyright and fair use; distinguishing the lawful from unlawful downloading and peer-to-peer file sharing; and avoiding plagiarism. Using the JUSD Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) as the guideline for the appropriate and ethical use of information technology, the AUP will be reviewed annually with teachers and students. The AUP review will be conducted through the JUSD libraries, during classroom library visits and student library orientations. A K-12 district developed copyright/fair use curriculum will provide information on the ethical use of information technology, avoiding plagiarism, significance of copyright and fair use laws, and the implications for illegal file downloading and peer-to-peer file sharing. The curriculum will be presented to students through the JUSD libraries, in conjunction with classroom teachers. The design of the curriculum will consider the developmental age of the student, in addition to the student, teacher, and library staff’s access to the technology. When appropriate to the core ELA curriculum, teachers will use the district copyright/fair use curriculum to reinforce ethical and appropriate use of information technology. Library staff and site technology coordinators will have provided an overview of the scope and sequence of the K-12 copyright/fair use curriculum. Ethical and appropriate use of information technology will be reinforced during JUSD technology training and professional development sessions. Technology Master Plan Page 41 Goal: All teachers and students will participate in activities that support appropriate and ethical use of information technology and demonstrate learning through information literacy assignments. (Align with LEAP Goals: 1, 2, & 3) Objective: All K-12 teachers and students will attend one or more presentations on the appropriate and ethical use of information technology and demonstrate learning through information literacy assignments. Year 1: 100% of all K-12 teachers and students will attend one or more presentations on the appropriate and ethical use of information technology and demonstrate learning through information literacy assignments. Year 2: 100% of all K-12 teachers and students will attend one or more presentations on the appropriate and ethical use of information technology and demonstrate learning through information literacy assignments.

List of goals and an implementation plan that describe how the district will address Internet safety, including how to protect online privacy and avoid online predators. Components of the JUSD Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) that are specific to Internet safety will be reviewed annually with teachers and students. The AUP review will be conducted through the JUSD libraries, during classroom library visits and student library orientations. A K-12 district Internet safety program, based on the i-SAFE curriculum, has been implemented at each school. The district has selected the curriculum modules and developed a scope and sequence for the delivery. The primary delivery of i-SAFE at the elementary sites will be through the school libraries during classroom visits and library orientations. At secondary schools the primary delivery of i-SAFE will be facilitated through advisory classes. Teachers will reinforce the learned i-SAFE concepts when appropriate to developing student information literacy skills through the core curriculum. The i- SAFE curriculum focuses on cyber community citizenship in the primary grades; citizenship and safety, and cyber predator identification in the upper elementary grades; cyber bullying, negative networking, and predator identification, in the middle grades; and cyber harassment, cyber relationships, security – malicious codes, and social-networking risks at the high school level. By delivering the program through the library with the support of the technology coordinators, every student and teacher will have the opportunity to participate in the i-SAFE curriculum. The California K12 High Speed Network (K12HSN) provides free education for parents, students, and schools about online student safety (http://www.h12hsn.org/resources/cybersafety). Learning how to exercise caution and avoid the possible dangers on the Internet is a vital skill that children must learn to support their learning and everyday life. In December 2009, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), U.S. Department of Education and Federal Communications Commission released a free cyber safety booklet Net Cetera: Chatting with Kids About Being Online for parents and children. This free booklet was released by the Federal Trade Commission and other government agencies to parents and teachers to steer kids safely through the online and mobile phone worlds. The Net Cetera booklet can be found at: http://www.onguardonline.gov/topics/net-cetera.aspx. This quality education resource helps minors be educated about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms and cyber bullying awareness and response. Technology Master Plan Page 44 To help educate parents and students about cyber safety, information and links to Net Cetera have been included in the district’s Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for Grades K-3 and Grades 4-12 policy for students. Information can also be found in the annual Parent Guide from Administrative Services and through the JUSD district website in the Parents webpage under Online Safety. Information about California Education Code 48900 and the inclusion of cyber bullying as a suspendable offense is also provided on the district website. Cyber bullying was ruled a suspendable offense as of January 1, 2009. To provide further education regarding cyber safety, the Net Cetera booklet and accompanying PowerPoint have been shared at Parent GATE meetings conducted by Education Services, English Language Advisory Council Parent meetings, school Technology Coordinator meetings, and district Safety Committee meetings. We have made copies of Net Cetera available at the local Rubidoux Library and Glen Avon Library in an effort to reach more parents and students. The district Internet Safety Policy (BP 6163.4) has been updated to reflect updated Federal requirements for minors to be educated about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms and cyber bullying awareness and response. Technology Master Plan Page 45 Goal: All students and teachers will be presented with the information for using the Internet safely, protecting privacy, and avoiding online predators. Objective: All K-12 teachers and students will participate in a presentation on Internet safety, protecting privacy, and avoiding online predators.

Description of our goals about the district policy or practices that ensure equitable technology access for all students. All students are expected to meet State and district curricular goals. Technology is viewed as an integral component of the curriculum and is seen as a key element in preparing students to succeed academically and in life. A close connection exists between reading and writing on the Internet which requires that students possess a unique set of skills that is more varied and multidimensional than the skills required for traditional print based reading and writing activities (Marzano and Magna, 2014). District practice includes identifying research based technology strategies that impact student achievement and directly support instruction and learning. Thus, fiscal and human resources will focus on providing the access and support to replicate the identified technologies. Technology Master Plan Page 46 To ensure access to technology for all students, the district has set a goal for each learning environment to be equipped with the appropriate instructional technology: K-3 classroom – Digital projector, document imaging camera, network printer, teacher laptop with DVD, electronic whiteboards and wireless slate, audio amplification system, and six student computers. 4-6 classroom – Digital projector, document imaging camera, network printer, teacher laptop with DVD, electronic whiteboards and wireless slate, audio amplification system, and six student computers. 7-8 core classrooms – Digital projector, document imaging camera, network printer, teacher laptop with DVD, electronic whiteboards and wireless slate, audio amplification system, tablets and six student computers 9-12 core classrooms - Digital projector, document imaging camera, network printer, teacher laptop with DVD, electronic whiteboards and wireless slate, audio amplification system, tablets and six student computers SDC and RSP classrooms - equipped as described above based on the grade levels served. Students needing assistive technologies as indicated through IEP’s and 504 plans will be provided with the appropriate assistive technologies and resources. Pilot programs for specific learning tools, such as, tablets, interactive whiteboards, and student response systems, will be installed in select classrooms. Implementation will be closely monitored and the impact on instruction and student learning will be assessed. Additional shared resources to be located at each school are digital cameras, digital camcorders, flat-bed scanners, assessment scanners, video resources, and a video conferencing system. The goal for each library is to provide access to a digital projector, document imaging camera, and a wireless laptop. In addition, a six seat student look-up station would be provided for in-library student use and made available before and after school. Audio books/selections will be available for student checkout. Technology Master Plan Page 47 Goal: Students and teachers will have classroom access to district adopted technologies to support technology integration in the curriculum. Objective: All K-12 teachers and students will have access to district adopted technologies to support technology integration. Year 1: 100% of all K-12 teachers and students will have access to district adopted technologies to support technology integration. Year 2: 100% of all K-12 teachers and students will have access to district adopted technologies to support technology integration.

List of clear goals, measurable objectives, annual benchmarks, and an implementation plan to use technology to make student record keeping and assessment more efficient and supportive of teachers’ efforts to meet individual student academic needs. All teachers have access to student demographic and assessment records. Demographic records are maintained through Q, the Jurupa Unified School District student information system. Assessment records are managed through, EADMS, a web-based assessment system which houses District and State assessment data. All administrators and teachers have access to Q and EADMS. Special Education teachers have access to Special Education Information System (SEIS), to maintain the appropriate records for students being served through special education. Technology Master Plan Page 48 Using the Q Student Information System (SIS), teachers take daily attendance from their classroom computer and maintain an online student Gradebook in Q. In addition, Q supports communication between school and home through ParentConnect, a web-based view of a student’s academic progress. EADMS provides longitudinal data on State and District benchmark assessments. This enables administrators and teachers to use the data to inform curricular and instructional decisions. Goal: Expanded use of teacher and parent resources through the student information system Q (Aligned with LEAP Goals 4 and 5) Objective 1: 100% of all K-12 teachers will use Q gradebook and teacher connect.

List of clear goals, measurable objectives, annual benchmarks, and an implementation plan to use technology to improve two-way communication between home and school. Technology provides a wealth of resources to increase the ability and effectiveness of home-to-school and school-to-home communications. Increasing JUSD’s web presence through the development or use of a hosted service for a user friendly and accessible web portal is of the highest priority to the district’s communication plan. The portal will provide teachers, parents, and students with a single location for teacher and school contact information (e-mail, telephone numbers), student assignments, and parent resources. In addition, a district-wide automated phone calling system provides an effective method for the district and schools’ to quickly communicate upcoming events or important announcements. All schools are now using Blackboard to make announcements, reminders, meeting notices, minimum days, no school reminders, and special event reminders. Teachers are using Blackboard to report student attendance, behavior and academics. Technology Master Plan Page 51 Goal: Increase opportunities for communication between home and school (Aligns with LEAP Goal 5) Objective 1: 100% of our schools will promote parent access to student, school, and district information through the Web portal, automated phone calling system and parent meetings.

Describe the process that will be used to monitor the Curricular Component (Section 3d-3j) goals, objectives, benchmarks and planned implementation activities including roles and responsibilities. The Education Services and Education Technology Departments will work hand-in-hand to administer the data collection instruments, referenced in the above tables, and to monitor and evaluate all curriculum components of the plan. Based on the specified surveys, agendas, portal records, training and staff development records, library schedules, and information literacy reports the Education Technology and Education Services departments will meet semi-annually to modify and adjust the plan according to district and school technology needs. Technology Master Plan Page 53 4. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Technology Master Plan Page 54 Research on successful professional development programs reveal that all members of an institution must share a common understanding of the goals and a knowledge base before an institution will improve. The CCSS and SBAC present an opportunity to design the next-generation learning models with technology being a key vehicle to increasing student achievement. While all teachers can learn use technology, they generally require extensive training, schoolwide support, and scheduled time for independent learning in order to feel confident and competent enough to use new technology effectively and frequently. Educators who only know how to operate new technologies are insufficiently prepared to use these powerful tools to improve classroom instruction. Teachers must also understand and apply effective pedagogical principals in order to wield technology tools with maximum impact. Technology must be used as a learning tool rather than a set of isolated standards and raise the expectations of our students to meet minimum digital literacy and technology proficiency skills (Marzano and Magana, 2014). John Hattie conducted an extensive analysis of 52,637 studies to pinpoint the elements that have significant correlations with student achievement. His meta-analysis method of statistical research aimed to quantify the general effectiveness of a certain strategy or topic by combining the results from numerous individual studies. The strategy’s level of effectiveness is frequently conveyed using a number know as an effect size. Specifically, Hattie found professional development to have a .51 effect size on student achievement. He also determined that when used as a supplement to the teacher’s instruction, computer-assisted instruction had an effect size of 0.45, but when used as a replacement for the teacher’s instruction, it had an effect size of 0.30. This plan addresses the professional development needs of all members of the Jurupa Unified School District (JUSD) community. This includes teachers, administrators, counselors, librarians, other educational professionals, as well as support staff. a. Summary of the teachers’ and administrators’ current technology proficiency and integration skills and needs for professional development. Prior to the design of any professional development plan it is necessary to determine the current skill level and identify the needs of those who will be participating. JUSD has used several methods to identify the needs of teachers, administrators, librarians/library personnel, and other educational professionals. Technology Master Plan Page 55 The Education Technology and Education Services Departments have surveyed teachers and administrators in regards to their technology goals; how they use technology to improve teaching and learning; level of technology proficiency; degree of technology integration; hardware, software, and technical support needs; and how they monitor and evaluate technology’s impact on student achievement. Additionally, surveys have included questions directly related to support personnel and their technology use, needs, and experience. Survey responses indicate teachers and administrators would prefer to attend professional development opportunities during school hours in 2-3 hour or ½ day block. Frequency of technology use varies from school to school. Based on JUSD’s Share Point Survey, 49% of teachers rated their own overall technology skill as Proficient. Teachers indicated 61% of their students’ overall technology skill was at a beginning level. Integration of technology into instruction happens every day in 46% of teachers’ classrooms. Of teachers surveyed, 45% indicated they use the internet to seek out resources for instructional use. Although 72% of teachers are aware of the technology requirements of the new Common Core standards, 50% do not require students to use digital resources to locate, evaluate, or communicate information regarding their assignments. A contributing factor to this imbalance of technology integration and Common Core requirements may be the availability of classroom technology resources for students. Additional survey results are as follows: Most JUSD teachers, administrators, and staff considered themselves proficient of overall technology skills. 46% of teachers integrate technology into instruction daily. 45% of teachers use the internet to seek out resources for instructional use. Only 44% of teachers surveyed felt comfortable integrating technology in the classroom. From the survey results, JUSD was able to design and implement an on-going professional development program that encourages the growth of technology skills among district support personnel and teaching staff. Education Technology and Education Services provide regularly scheduled user support/training groups for the following groups of individuals: Student Information System (SIS) Users Academic Accelerator (School Based Planning) Meetings EADMS Meetings Follett Library System Users Technology Master Plan Page 56 Food Management Services System Users Technology Coordinators The site based Technology Coordinator stipend position was added in the 1999-2000 school year. Technology Coordinators are the school’s first line of support for instructional technology needs in the classroom. To support the Technology Coordinators efforts, in September 2001, the ETD implemented a professional development program directed toward teachers using technology for classroom management and to enhance and reinforce the curriculum. Technology Coordinators will play an integral role in the development and delivery of the copyright/fair use and Internet safety programs. The Education Technology Professional Development program provides professional development options that range from basic productivity applications to the integration of hardware and software to support the delivery and enhancement of the curriculum. In 2014-15, the technology department will provide E-Learning professional development to all teachers in the use of online research, multimedia presentations, web publishing, Web 2.0 tools, screen casting, digital citizenship, and device integration. b. List of clear goals, measurable objectives, annual benchmarks, and an implementation plan for providing professional development opportunities based on district needs assessment data (4a) and the Curriculum Component objectives (sections 3d through 3j) of the plan. While considerable attention must be paid to the acquisition of the technology, an equally integral component of a successful technology plan is professional development. The need to train teachers and staff to effectively use technology to support instruction and district goals is a key component to JUSD’s Education Technology Plan. Additionally, CALPADS accuracy has become increasingly more important. The need for effective training of end users is critical. Research based strategies for using technology effectively and aligning technology use with instructional program goals will be implemented through the professional development activities. Using technology to develop personal technology proficiency for district and site administration and support staff is a significant component of JUSD’s plan. Adult learning theories will be used when designing the professional development program for all participants. Technology Master Plan Page 57 Table: Professional Development Component Goal 1: To provide professional development for teachers, focusing on integrating technology and state standards. (Aligns with LEAP Goal 3) Objective: 100% of all K-12 teachers will attend a minimum of two professional development opportunities focused on integrating technology in the classroom.

All new hardware and software are purchased with a designated plan in place for how the information will be distributed to the schools and how site personnel will be trained to use the new resources. With the number of technology based programs that have been implemented and continue to be implemented in the district, the need for an additional professional development staff member is on the horizon. This teacher would have a strong background in staff development, technology software/hardware applications in the classroom, and curriculum planning. The Teacher on Special Assignment (TSA) for technology would provide classroom and district-level support and training in technology systems that assist teachers in integrating technology in the classroom. c. Describe the process that will be used to monitor the professional development (Section 4b) goals, objectives, benchmarks and planned implementation activities including roles and responsibilities. The Education Services and Education Technology Departments will work hand-in-hand to implement the activities and evaluate effectiveness through the data collection instruments referenced in the professional development tables. All aspects of the professional development plan will be monitored and evaluated. Based on the surveys, help-desk records, portal records, staff development and workshop records and participant evaluations collected, the Education Technology and Education Services departments will meet semi-annually to modify and adjust the plan according to district and school needs.

While several upper elementary and secondary JUSD classrooms are currently equipped with presentation tools (Digital projectors, TV displays, document imaging cameras, and/or DVD/VCR) and various computer peripherals (scanners, digital cameras, and/or digital camcorders), which are used to support teaching and learning and professional development, JUSD continues to work with schools, using site and grant funding, to increase access to these digital learning tools. As affordability and performance improve, large flat panel screens may substitute for digital projectors. All schools in the district have a minimum data network connectivity service using Ethernet 10/100 Base-T topology. Every school office and classrooms are (100%) wired. Each of these schools has a minimum of 2 data drops per classroom, with additional drops located in the libraries and computer labs. Future school network upgrades will design 3 drops for the teacher station (1 Power Over Ethernet or POE port for future Voice Over IP telephony), 6 drops for student computers, 1 drop for a future wireless access point (should the budget allow). Jurupa USD has one wireless access point for roughly every three classrooms. This provides enough coverage for the majority of campus but isn’t capable of supporting full BYOD or 1:1 deployments. Each access point is capable of at minimum 802.11N. There are over 550 access points installed district wide. District Technology Standards and Purchasing California Public Contract Code Section 20118.2 states that due to the highly specialized and unique nature of technology, telecommunications, related equipment, software, and services, because products and materials of that nature are undergoing rapid technological changes, and in order to allow for the introduction of new technological changes into the operations of the school district, it is in the public's best interest to allow a school district to consider, in addition to price, factors such as vendor financing, performance reliability, standardization, life-cycle costs, delivery timetables, support logistics, the broadest possible range of competing products and materials available, fitness of purchase, manufacturer's warranties, and similar factors in the award of contracts for technology, telecommunications, related equipment, software, and services. The request for proposals shall identify all significant evaluation factors, including price, and their relative importance. The school district shall provide reasonable procedures for the technical evaluation of the proposals received, the identification of qualified sources, and the selection for the award of the contract. Award shall be made to the qualified bidder whose proposal meets the evaluation standards and will be most advantageous to the school district with price and all other factors considered. If award is not made to the bidder whose proposal contains the lowest Technology Master Plan Page 66 price, the school district shall make a finding setting forth the basis for the award. The school district, at its discretion, may reject all proposals and request new proposals. E-rate rules and regulations for purchases will be adhered to. Data and Telecommunication Telecommunication upgrades and telephone access in the classroom are ongoing projects in the district. Every school is targeted for adequate telecommunication, networking, and electrical capability to sustain growth for the next five years. The district will take advantage of opportunities to support improved data services to schools, such as the California Education Broadband Initiative (CEBI). CEBI is a coalition of educational leaders seeking to leverage State/Federal resources and form partnerships to create affordable broadband access for families and students across the country. Software Of the 3,500 JUSD computers, over 98% use Microsoft Windows Operating Systems (OS), (Windows XP or Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 3), and 2% use the Macintosh operating systems. In support of these computers, the district provides centralized services from the data center that include, an Internet server, Web filtering, email, Library, SQL database, DNS, and a Student Information System server. The goal is to maintain, support and upgrade these systems, data storage, storage area network (SAN), and infrastructure to meet the growth of the district and technological advancements. Electronic Learning Resources Each school maintains a variety of educational software; however, every classroom computer is equipped with the MS Office Suite productivity software programs. In addition, the district maintains over 500 licenses for the graphic organization program, Inspiration and approximately 50 Kidspiration licenses. Other online electronic resources, such as, EBSCO Publishing, World Book Online Encyclopedia, and Destiny Standards Search are available for every JUSD teacher and student via an Internet browser. Wireless slates that allow teachers to move about the classroom and improve student engagement can be found in some schools. Other electronic academic resources include Read 180, probe-ware, digital microscopes, student response systems, and collaborative tools, such as podcasting equipment are also increasingly available and acquired by schools. Electronic administrative resources include the Q student information system and related module such as Gradebook and Parent Connect and the web based Special Education Information System (SEIS) system. Technology Master Plan Page 67 Fifteen JUSD schools have purchased the Accelerated Reader program and 6 have purchased the Accelerated Math. Each Accelerated Reader program is housed on a school site server for shared access throughout the campus; whereas, Accelerated Math is installed within designated classrooms. Technical Support for Curriculum and Professional Development Technology staff development and training has been made available to teachers, administrators, and staff. Since 1998, the Information Technology and Education Services Departments have offered hands-on-training, for certificated, classified, and administrative personnel. The Information Technology and Education Services Departments have consistently provided hands-on training for all new hardware and software purchased or introduced into the district. Online and video based self-service trainings and videoconferences are offered on a growing basis. Director of Education and Information Technology The Director of Education and Information Technology supervises fourteen employees and has primary responsibility for maintaining the JUSD Student Information System (SIS), which includes the Wide Area Network (WAN), Local Area Network (LAN), administrative office computers, Horizon Food Service System, Follett Destiny Library system, EETT hardware/software, and E-rate. Leading the district’s technology vision, standards, policy and planning, the IT Director and resources within the IT Department should assist the proposer and sponsor with technical research, review the proposal to ensure that it is consistent with existing standards, and to co-advocate for the project as it progresses through review processes.

INFRASTRUCTURE Network Security All users of district equipment and resources must agree to the Board approved Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) (Board Policy 6163.4). Accounts are assigned individually and may not be shared. Each user is encouraged to follow safe computing practices and is responsible for any action that occurs under their account. The district logs account logins, website access, and access to other systems to maintain a stable, secure and responsive system. In order to maintain security and integrity of our data, the least amount of access needed for staff and students to effectively work is given. The district uses a Cisco ASA firewall and Lightspeed Rocket appliance to secure access to district systems which monitors traffic, blocks websites identified as a security risk, and blocks spam e-mail. Antivirus software is installed on all district managed computers. Operating system and software updates are also regularly pushed out to all district managed computers. The district wireless system is segmented into two parts; one network for district owned and managed devices and one network for guest devices. Guest devices aren’t able to directly access other district resources; instead they are limited to just web traffic. District Equipment Policy The Jurupa Unified School District acquires technology through new purchases and/or through donations. Buying new equipment to increase computer inventory at school sites are funded by district, grants, or categorical monies. Donated equipment on the other hand is guided by district policy. The policy defines the protocol for donated computers/equipment, which includes hardware, software, training, maintenance, networking, electrical, transportation, storage, eligible specification, and environmental considerations (Guidelines for accepting donations or gifts for school organization, JUSD Business Handbook, § D6). Technology Master Plan Page 71 The district has implemented a four year hardware replacement cycle. The district intends to increase the number of computer stations from approximately 3,500 in 2013 to 5,000 by the end of the 2016-2017 school year. SERVICES Technology Coordinators Each school has a stipend technology coordinator. The coordinator serves a dual role as the Information Technology and Education Technology contact. The district provides user group workshops for these coordinators to augment their skills and technical knowledge as well as technology curriculum development. These coordinators provide an important role as the first point of contact at the school site to provide regular training and support to faculty. For instance, the coordinators may train teachers on how to connect to a computer or docking camera to a projector or how to replace toner. Technology coordinators also help staff integrate technology into their curriculum. Lastly, technology coordinators communicate any district wide technology upgrades or changes to their staff and are the site representative to give the district feedback regarding technology initiatives. Technology Support (Helpdesk) The technology department provides remote helpdesk assistance from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each weekday. Issues that aren’t able to be addressed remotely are escalated to a computer technician to troubleshoot on-site. All computer issues are tracked through a work order system, Spiceworks. Any staff member can place a work order by calling or e-mailing the helpdesk, or submitting a work order through the Spiceworks web portal. District staff submit on average of 1,000 work orders per month. Communications, Social Media and Web 2.0 Services The technology department will explore the use of Web 2.0 and Social Media to improve district communications, knowledge and information sharing. These services include, but are not limited to, examples such as wikis, blogs, discussion boards, Facebook, Twitter, and other similar services. Technology Master Plan Page 72 Equipment Standards The district standardizes as many systems and components as possible to provide a consistent user experience, minimize training and support costs, and provide a more stable and reliable infrastructure. Specifically, with the exception of some Career Technical Education (CTE) programs, all district computers run Microsoft Windows on either Dell desktops or HP laptops. New network infrastructure consists of HP Procurve switches. Wireless infrastructure is from Aruba Networks. All technology equipment has been thoroughly tested for compatibility with existing infrastructure. Various equipment has been standardized district wide to create a consistent user experience and minimize support requirements. As of the 2013-14 school year, the following equipment is standard: Desktop – Dell Optiplex 7010. Intel i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD, 22” monitor. Laptop – HP Probook 6570. Intel i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD, 20” monitor. Printers – Network, laser printers, from HP: Low Volume B&W: HP LaserJet 401N High Volume B&W: HP LaserJet P602N Low Volume Color: HP LaserJet M451N High Volume Color: HP LaserJet M551N Projector – Hitachi CPX2530WN Document Camera - Avermedia F15 Wireless Interactive Board – eInstruction Interwrite Mobi Six Seat “MultiSeat” Systems – Consist of one upgraded Dell Optiplex 7010 with 16GB of RAM and six stations powered off of it, running Windows MultiPoint Server. CPS pulse system Software Standards As of July 2012, JUSD has signed an agreement with CASMA that gives the district access to the Microsoft EES licensing platform. This has allowed the district to upgrade computers to Windows 7 and Office 2010 at a drastically reduced cost. This licensing also entitles the district to upgrade any and all systems to the latest version of Windows and Windows Server, SQL Server, Technology Master Plan Page 73 SharePoint, Office and many other products. As such, all software purchases must be Windows compatible. As of the 2013-14 school year, the district has standardized on the following software: Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Office Productive Suite: Microsoft Office 2010 Internet Plugins: Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, Oracle Java Multimedia Design: Adobe CS6 Suite Student Information System: Aequitas Q Student Data System: Adrylan EADMS Library and Textbook System: Follett Destiny Purchasing System: RCOE Galaxy IEPs: SEIS Credit Recovery: Odysseyware Online Curriculum Resources: Voyger Learning VPort Voyager Learning VocabJourney HMH Think Central HMH Holt McDougal HMH PH School Online Encyclopedia: World Book Online Journal Database: EBSCO Publishing Exam View Inspiration and Kidspiration Technology Master Plan Page 74 Department Needs The technological needs of JUSD are constantly being re-evaluated as both technology and learning strategies change. For instance, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and tablets, often with streaming video or interactive content are being used in the classroom. The Education-Information Technology Department needs to maintain a fast and reliable infrastructure to meet the business and educational needs of the district. As such, we project that we will need the following upgrades during the life of this Technology Plan: Upgrade existing computer networks at five elementary schools, Nueva Vista Continuation High School, STEPS Community Day School, and Patriot High School. Double SAN capacity every 18-24 months. This is based off of historic growth rates. We estimate that we will need to upgrade our SAN in Spring of 2014 and then again in the 2016-17 school year. Increase server VM host capacity. We expect to need to double the capacity of hosts sometime in the 2014-15 school year. Increase the WAN connection between the school sites and the district office’s data center to 10gbps, starting with the middle and high schools in the 2015-16 school year. As part of this project, our core switch will need to be upgraded. Increase the density of our wireless access points to handle multiple simultaneous classrooms using laptops, tablets, etc. Purchase a mobile device management (MDM) platform to support tablets. New opportunities, such as Voice Over IP (VOIP), Video on Demand, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), BYOD, and class sets of laptops or tablets will further necessitate the improvement of equipment. Staff will need to be adjusted to support the increase in services that the Education-Information Department provides. Specifically, a Network Engineer would provide high level support of systems. Additional Computer Support Technicians will be required to support the projected growth in devices. Specifically, we request an additional Computer Support Technician for every 800 devices added to the district network. An additional Teacher on Special Assignment is needed to help staff better implement technology into the classroom curriculum. Lastly, an additional Technology Facilitator is required to meet increasing data collection requirements and CALPADS updates requirements. Technology Master Plan Page 75 Thin Clients, Client & Server Virtualization, Online Education and Cloud Based Services to Improve Access A variety of technologies are emerging that can improve school access to technology. These options are alternatives used alongside traditional networked personal computer solutions. Thin clients solutions, such as the Ncomputing, HP mobile thin client or HP t5740, provide cost effective and durable long life hardware options for schools. Client and Server virtualization options, such as that of VMware or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) technology, provide cost effective reliable centralized services to the users. Cloud based services, such as Stoneware, Microsoft Live@EDU, and Google Apps, also open a world of low cost or free services to users. All classrooms will include standard technology. Students and teachers need access to minimum levels of technology in order to meet goals for technology skills attainment, to engage student learning through the use of technology, and to use technology to help students attain grade level standards. The district will explore the expansion of existing and/or the addition of new online electronic resources, classroom peripherals, and standards based software programs that directly support the curriculum, project based learning, online learning and common core standards. Special Education and Assistive Technology The district and this technology plan support access to assistive technology needed by students receiving special education services. Assistive Technology devices include but are not limited to: academic and learning aids, aids to daily living, assisted living devices and environmental aids, augmentative communication, computer access and instruction, environmental control, mobility aids, pre-vocational and vocational aids, recreation and leisure, seating and positioning, and visual aids. The district technology department will work with the special education department to coordinate efforts to support the needs of special education students. References to support this effort include the Georgia Project for Assistive Technology, Assistive Technology Academic and Learning Aids Core Classroom Inventory, and High Incidence AT 101 for Administrators (Susan Simmons, Ph.D, Education & Assistive Technology Specialist, Diagnostic Center, Southern California).

Equipment: Acquisition and Replacement Cycle The following is intended to give a broadly itemized overview of the best case scenario for funding the above technology plan, taking into account the aging of computers and acquisition of equipment to meet target ratios. This “best case” will need to be tempered by district and site budgeting constraints. A computer life cycle of 4 years is assumed; however, the need for replacements is exacerbated by the computers which will not be able to make the migration to Microsoft Vista when Windows XP reaches end of life support in 2014 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/default.mspx). Districts in Riverside County have standardized on either the HP, Dell or Apple brand computers. District standards will be based on a combination of price, performance, brand reputation, company history in schools, support, reliability and features. RAM upgrades can be installed on older equipment to extend service life. Equipment should be retired when it is unable to meet minimum software requirements or unable to support or deliver services.

The program is intended to ensure that schools and libraries have access to affordable telecommunications and information services. The district applies for discounts on all eligible telecommunications services. When district matching funds are available, the district has applied and will apply for network infrastructure, equipment and service upgrades and support. California School Management (CSM) provides consulting services to the district for the E-rate program. Technology Master Plan Page 81 c. Annual Benchmarks for Obtaining Hardware, Infrastructure, Learning Resources, and Technical Support Project based management will be used to implement the elements of this technology plan that are not part of daily support operations (such as help desk phone calls, repairs, reporting, etc.). Examples of recent projects include: E-Rate Year 15 elementary schools (11) local area network upgrades (2013-2014), storage area network (SAN) upgrades (2014). The benefits of projects are the distinct goals, beginning, process for completion and ending. Project based management also enables the regulation of workload and resources to prevent overload. This makes accountability relatively straightforward. The sequence of projects to allow annual benchmarking will follow the priority of: 1) network infrastructure (district, schools), 2) services that are transported on the networks (e-mail, file access, video, backup, etc.), and 3) network devices (e.g. replacement of obsolete equipment, acquisition of new equipment such as student responders, desktop and notebook computers, networked laser printers, etc.). Projects for the foreseeable future, pending available funding, include: Increase the density of our wireless access points to handle multiple simultaneous classrooms using laptops and tablets. Upgrade existing computer networks at five elementary schools, Nueva Vista Continuation High School, STEPS Community Day School, and Patriot High School. Increase the WAN connection between the school sites and the district office’s data center to 10gbps, starting with the middle and high schools in the 2015-16 school year. As part of this project, our core switch will need to be upgraded.’ Implementation Timeline The following is an estimate of the major projects and activities towards implementing the district technology plan for 20142017. All implementation plans and projects are contingent upon available funding. As funding improves, the district will be in a position to implementing this plan more rapidly.

All August 2015 Ineligible E-rate items include electrical and soft costs, such as project management and design. These types of ineligible e-rate items will be budgeted and accounted for in evaluating the feasibility of E-rate projects. d. Process to Monitor Annual Benchmarks Including Roles and Responsibilities The Facility and Technology Advisory Committee is responsible for overseeing the benchmarks in this plan. The committee is comprised of 5-10 people representing a cross section of representation from schools, stakeholders and departments. The committee will meet to regularly review the district technology master plan and ensure that it is consistently aligned to the district academic and administrative goals to support better teaching, learning, and collaboration. The technology director will facilitate committee meetings and provides appropriate technical information to the committee. Six month reviews of progress and project completion will be done by the technology department. Information on progress and project status will be shared with Principals, Administrative Council, Education Services and Business Services through scheduled meetings and e-mail or newsletter updates. The new Spiceworks work order system reports technology work orders completed by district, site, and individual. Such data will allow us to conduct a resource allocation analysis to understand trends in technology support resource use and where the greatest demands are to support end users. Technology Master Plan Page 84 6. FUNDING AND BUDGET Technology Master Plan Page 85 A strong educational technology program requires a commitment to support the plan and implementation process through both human and financial resources. JUSD is committed to providing a long-term financial plan that provides students, teachers, staff, and administrators with appropriate technology to support their needs, and at the same time, considers the community’s investment. Responding to the financial challenges includes deliberation of the initial purchase of equipment and software, additional infrastructure to support the equipment, and the professional development for the purchase and instructional strategies for the integration of the technology. In addition, the district has a plan in place for meeting the challenges of software and hardware obsolescence, upgrades, and growth. a. Established and Potential Funding Sources E-Rate funding has provided the district with an opportunity to increase and improve the network infrastructure at our schools. Sixteen of our schools have received infrastructure upgrades as a result of E-Rate funding. Eight other schools are in need of infrastructure upgrade but currently do not qualify under E-Rate guidelines. On March 4, 2014 the Microsoft-California Settlement Claims Administrator notified the District that they would receive an additional release of funds in connection with the California Education Technology K-12 Voucher Program, in the amount of $707,324.92. These vouchers can only be used for specific preapproved hardware and software purchases. These funds will be used to bring the Common Core to life in the classroom and prepare for the new online Smarter Balanced assessments. Other funding sources that are site-based and have been used for some technology purchases in the past include school improvement funds and Title I funds. Last summer, the California Legislature dramatically altered how public education is funded for the first time in over 35 years with the passage of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). LCFF is designed to provide school districts with a more equitable and flexible funding source by eliminating multiple categorical funds and placing the dollars into three grants – base grant, supplemental grant, and concentration grant. It is expected that Local Control Funding Formula funds will leveraged for additional technology purchases. The district technology standards, policies, price list and consulting with the Education Technology department will help ensure that site funded purchases support the overall direction of the technology plan to support better teaching, learning, and Technology Master Plan Page 86 collaboration. Working with Business Services, special attention will be given to those schools that are not recipients of E-Rate or grant funding. The computer replacement cycle for staff will continue to be funded by special reserve for capital outlay funds. The Information Technology department will continue to seek funding through federal, state, and local grant opportunities. b. Annual Implementation Costs for Term of the Technology Plan This section provides the cost estimation for the implementation of new products and services in the coming three year period. The hardware and software totals in Table 6B include the full costs of items that the District expects will be discounted to some degree by E-Rate funding during the three year period. The non-E-Rate portion of the cost is anticipated to be funded by a combination of grants, bond proceeds, and general fund contributions. Estimated Implementation Costs FY 14/15 Estimate 757,265 FY 15/16 Estimate 795,128 FY 16/17 Estimate 834,884 Education Technology Staff Hardware Teacher Computers Student Computers Software (includes licensing & renewals) 937,000 1197 @ $1000 each 937,000 1092 @ $1000 each 937,000 1262 @ $1000 each 300,000 300,000 300,000 Professional Development (includes trainings, trainer costs, substitute teachers, and conferences) 500,000 500,000 500,000 Materials and Supplies 73,000 75,000 77,000 Potential Funding Source Description Budget for central IT department to maintain and support programs in the district such as telecommunication and network infrastructure, administration, and support desk.

Replacement Policy for Obsolete Equipment “Obsolete” equipment will be defined as equipment that no longer serves a useful academic or administrative purpose in the school or office. If the costs of repairing a computer exceeds the value of the computer, that computer will be designated as obsolete. Education research indicates that teachers are the most important element in the classroom when it comes to student learning; as such, each teacher will have their own networked district standard computer with district standard software installed (e.g. Microsoft Office, Microsoft Windows 7, Adobe Reader, Microsoft Explorer, CA ETrust anti-virus). Replacement computers may be new equipment from the district standards price list that meet district standards. The Microsoft Windows Life Cycle map indicates how long the district standards Windows 7 operating system will be supported. In accordance with California Education Code (EDC), the District has an established process and policy for surplus property. Education Code Section 17545 states that the governing board of any school district may sell for cash, any personal property belonging to the district if the property is not required for school purposes, or if it should be disposed of for the purpose of replacement, or if it is unsatisfactory or not suitable for school use. The board shall sell the property to the highest responsive bidder. Education Code Section 17546(a) allows that items, whether one or more, which do not exceed a value of $2,500 may be sold at private sale without advertising. Section 17546(b) allows that any items having previously been offered for sale pursuant to Section 17545, for which no qualified bid was received, may be sold at private sale without advertising; and Section 17546(c) allows that property of insufficient value to defray the cost of arranging for a sale may be either donated to a charitable organization or disposed of in the local public dump. The District has a process in which when surplus property is recognized staff submits a list of surplus items to the asset control technician, the list is then signed by the site administrator and a representative of Technology. The items are then reviewed and prepared by the Warehouse for surplus. Items are presented to the Board for approval of surplus. Once the Board approves, arrangements are made with our contracted vendor and the items are picked up and sold at auction. The District receives the proceeds minus the administrative fees for the auction services. Technology Master Plan Page 89 d. Process for Monitoring Education Technology Funding, Implementation Costs and New Funding Opportunities The district has a keen interest in pursuing technology funding opportunities through partnerships, coalitions, and alliances with entities in the public and private sector. The first step in this process is to ensure that the goals of the district and Education Services are understood. These goals embodied in such documents at the district mission statements, goals statements and Local Education Agency plan. In 2013-2014, the Facility and Technology Committee visited every school site to determine each site’s needs for the upcoming years. Education Technology will actively work on building relationships and partnerships in the community to create opportunities for mutually beneficial relationships that support the use of education technology. Budgets may be adjusted as necessary due to budget constraints and competing district and school priorities. The Education Technology and Education Services departments will meet semi-annually to identify needed modifications of funding resources in order to implement the plan. Implementation timelines may also be lengthened or shortened depending on the funding streams available. Technology Master Plan Page 90 7. MONITORING AND EVALUATION Technology Master Plan Page 91 a. Evaluation Process for Technology Plan Progress and Impact on Teaching and Learning The evaluation process will follow the W. Edwards Deming cycle of continuous improvement of Plan-Do-Study-Act. This technology plan embodies the “Plan” element of the Deming cycle, which includes explicit outcomes, benefits and expectations to be measured qualitatively and quantitatively. Execution of the elements of the plan will constitute the “Do”. Depending on the complexity, this will involve project management guided by the questions of: 1) what needs to be accomplished, 2) what will success look like, and 3) what it will take to create that success. To ensure that the technology plan will keep its focus on supporting better teaching and learning, technology staff will work closely with Education Services staff, including the regular participation in Education Services meetings. The curriculum component of the plan uses multiple methods of data gathering and assessment such as: student, teacher and administrator surveys, observations/walk-throughs, library schedules, professional development records, portal records, reports from information literacy resources, blog/wiki records, Q reports, SEIS reports, and interview for direct feedback. Teacher observations of student use of technology will occur on a weekly basis and will be reflected on progress reports and report cards. Students’ work/electronic portfolios will include student generated writing samples, digital presentations, and spreadsheets. Additionally, close attention will be paid to JUSD’s Units of Study Performance Assessments and the Common Core assessments to monitor student performance. A substantial and consistent professional development program is integral to the success of the curriculum plan; thereby, the JUSD Education Technology Plan recognizes the importance of providing for methods of assessing the “needs and wants” of the people who are working daily to carry out JUSD’s goals and objectives. The professional development component of the plan will use online surveys, participant evaluations, and needs surveys to revise existing professional development opportunities and plan for future JUSD offerings. Evaluation forms will be completed at the end of each professional development activity. Evaluations will be analyzed, by the Information Technology and Education Services Departments quarterly to determine if program adjustments are needed to meet the needs of the participants. Technology Master Plan Page 92 b. Schedule for Evaluating the Effect of Plan Implementation What gets watched is what gets done. The evaluation model for plan implementation will follow a corporate model of periodic reports followed by an annual summary report-year in review. This report will be limited to a single page. There is no pleasure in reams of reporting. In the end, a plan either is or is not successful. The periodic report will occur every six months, which will result from a combined semi-annual Education Technology and Education Services Department meeting. An annual report will be th completed by each June 30 of each year. Summary performance data and project status (planning, in progress, completed) will be shared via electronic mail, website, and meetings. Principals’ meetings will be used as a forum for introducing new hardware and software purchases, professional development opportunities, and infrastructure plans. c. Process and Frequency of Communicating Evaluation Results to Technology Plan Stakeholders The value of communication is summarized by the following: 1) Communication leads to Understanding, 2) Understanding leads to Involvement, 3) Involvement leads to Commitment. To ensure widespread enthusiastic commitment for the role of technology in supporting better teaching, learning, and collaboration, district technology staff and stakeholders responsible for carrying out this technology plan will meet every semester. These meetings will usually be a technology department staff meeting. Summary notes from these meeting will be shared with Administrative Council, Education Services, and Business Services for feedback. School Site Council meetings, District Advisory Council meetings, and School Based/Schoolwide Coordinated Program meetings will also be venues for communicating with stakeholders. Technology Master Plan Page 93 8. COLLABORATION WITH ADULT LITERACY Technology Master Plan Page 94 a. Adult Literacy Providers As noted in section #2 of this technology plan on stakeholders, the Jurupa District community is rural and diverse. Similarly, 31.7% of the parents have no more than a high school education, 38.0% have some post-secondary education, and 30.5% have not completed high school. The Jurupa Unified School District and The Rubidoux Library have formed the Jurupa Family Literacy Program to address the over growing numbers of non-reading adults in the community. The district has an interest in supporting or assisting in the creation of computer labs at local libraries to support literacy and learning. The District’s Adult Education program works with other organizations to promote adult literacy through technology use. The Adult Education ESL computer lab closely coordinates lab and classroom instruction for day and evening ESL classes. Specific activities are designed that support the lessons taught in the regular classroom. The ESL teachers also create computer activities or locate new materials on the Internet. In addition to improving their English literacy skills, students also learn basic computer skills. Similarly, the library is currently offering literacy programs on a limited basis in our community. The current program provides one-to-one tutorial. We currently provide out-reach through Community Based English Tutoring (CBET) program. The program utilizes technology to provide instructional information and assistance to parents, which would allow school sites to implement assignments with very small groups of parents on demand. ROP students also receive literacy skills in order to succeed in the area in which they are receiving training. At both of our high school facilities, classrooms and labs are used during the traditional school day to provide ROP courses to students. The District Learning Center is a hub for adult learning activities operating from 7:00 AM to10:00 PM. Students receive hands-on computer training to improve their skills and learn at their own pace. Our goal at Jurupa Unified School District is to meet the one stop delivery system specified by the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (re-authorized in 1998 as part of the Workforce Investment Act) making families aware of the District’s adult literacy services and other agencies. The community is aware that there are three services provided under the federally supported adult education programs such as Adult Basic Education for learners with skills below the eighth-grade level, Adult Secondary Educational Development (GED) certificate, and English as a Second Language (ESL) services Funding sources are the Adult Education, Community-Based English Tutoring, AB 231 Literacy Grants, WIA, which provides additional vocational training and support services to adults up to the age of 21, and the District Technology department which provides equipment and additional technical support to run a full-time ESL/Literacy lab at the District Learning Center. Technology Master Plan Page 95 9. EFFECTIVE RESEARCH-BASED METHODS AND STRATEGIES Technology Master Plan Page 96 a. Relevant Research to Support Technology Plan Curricular and Professional Development Goals Professional Development The National Staff Development Council (NSDC) publications on standards for staff development in education and staff development standards of practice regarding innovation configurations detail specifically how technology can support curricular and professional development goals. To quote from the NSDC Standards for Staff Development: “Electronic forms of learning may prove particularly helpful in providing alternatives that respond to differences in learning styles and availability due to life stage issues. Staff development content may be accessed via the Internet or other forms of distance technology that will enable learning throughout the day in various settings using media that appeals to different learning preferences”. Hall and Hord’s Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM) is a framework for professional and personal change. This framework has its role in integrating the use of technology into improving the delivery of instruction, facilitating learning, and improving collaboration. Learning Communities described by role in the NSDC Innovations Configurations publication detail the levels of technology use and desired outcomes. The Central Office staff is to support learning use of technology (Desired Outcome 4.1) by providing access to technologies such as web conferencing, online surveys, decision making tools, e-mail, discussion forums online, and bulletin boards. The school Principal role is to encourage and provide technology to support collegial interactions (Desired Outcome 9.7) by seeking resources to provide technology and encouraging staff to participate in subject area networks, action research studies, and share lessons with other educators. John Hattie analyzed 52,637 studies to determine the effect size of how different influences would have on student achievement. The overall average effect from all meta-analyses was d = 0.40. In Visible Learning, Hattie states professional development had a 0.51 effect size on student achievement. Curriculum The National Education Technology Plan 2010 reflects its research and focus with the title “Learning Powered By Technology”. Research form the Mid-continent Education and Research Laboratory (McRel) highlights the impact of technology in education. This research is summarized on the book Using Technology With Classroom Instruction That Works by Howard Pitler, Elizabeth Hubbell, Matt Kuhn, and Kim Malenoski. This book links instructional strategies that work (i.e., produce improved student achievement) based on the work of Robert Marzano, with practical uses of available technology. This research illustrates how Technology Master Plan Page 97 technology supports and enhances sound instructional practices. This update of our technology master plan addresses new research in the area of online education and social networking tools. These elements in our technology plan are based upon research in this area by Clayton Christensen in his book Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns and related work from the National School Boards Association with regard to Web. 2.0 social networking tools and 21st Century Skills. b. Use of Technology to Extend or Supplement District Curriculum with Rigorous Academic Courses, Including Distance Learning The Jurupa Unified School District actively seeks resources from online and distance learning opportunities to increase the variety of course offerings that are available to students. Currently none are available. Online Advanced Placement courses may be made available based on student needs and skills, particularly in situations where there may be an insufficient number of students interested or eligible for a course at a given site. With the arrival of the network capable of transmitting video, the district technology staff is researching video distribution technology, such as the VBrick. This type of technology can allow the capture and distribution of lessons or live lessons over the network. Online education opportunities in grade K-12 have been expanding. JUSD will continue to develop Rivercrest Prepatory Academy and develop it’s Microsoft IT Academy to its fullest extent. References Marzano, R., Pickering, D. and Pollock, J. (2001).

E-Rate Supplement The Jurupa Unified School District’s Education Technology Plan for 2014-2017 was planned and developed to fulfill the requirements of federal, state, and local governments. In particular, this plan addresses the E-rate technology plan criteria. Goals and Strategies 1. Clear goals and realistic strategy for using telecommunications and information technology. The 2014-2017 Education Technology Plan incorporates the specific goals and strategies of the district in regard to education/information technology. The following section addresses the goal and strategy for using telecommunications: Technology Master Plan Page 99 Goal: Provide telecommunications and information technology in every classroom to enable teachers and students to have immediate voice communication with parents and information delivery to stakeholders Strategies: Install a single line telephone with handset in every classroom. Parent/teacher communications (relates to emergencies, homework validations, and office contact) Ability for public announcements (student safety, lockdowns, and events/motivational broadcasts) Ability to communicate with site and district administrators Goal: Improve the district’s telecommunications system Strategies: Utilize Internet Protocol (IP) telephony to improve and lower costs for telecommunications Support automated voice mail, caller ID, and E-911 Converge IP voice/data architecture Deploy a complete telephony voice solution Goal: Improve district’s infrastructure Strategies: Purchase and upgrade wireless and network equipment Wide Area Network (fiber-optic service, routers, catalyst, servers, and ancillaries) Fixed wireless and wireless access points Network security agents to prevent Internet-based attacks Deploy Virtual Private Network (VPN) to enable secure access Software licenses and upgrades for system efficiencies Electrical installation and upgrade Video Transmission Equipment Goal: To expand telecommunications to Enabled Enterprise Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) Strategies: Enhance district’s business and education efficiencies IP/PBX, and phones and point-to-point video phones for district personnel IP video surveillance for safety and security IP mobile solution for district needs Technology Master Plan Page 100 Goal: To improve Internet access to staff and students with managed fiber optic network service Strategies: Use of the Internet to explore educational sites and learning possibilities Use of the Internet for expansive research Use of the Internet for collaborative learning Professional Development 2. Professional development strategies to ensure that staff knows how to use the new technologies. The following section addresses the goals and strategies for providing professional development on telecommunications infrastructure: Goal 4C: To provide professional development for administrators and teachers to use technology as a diagnostic and assessment tool. Goal 4D: To provide professional development for administrators and teachers to use technology as a classroom management tool and for promoting communication between home, school, and the community. Assessment and Evaluation 3. Assessment of services (hardware, software, and other to improve library and education services). Both informal and formal assessment measures will be used to determine the degree to which each member of the JUSD community is benefiting from current and future technology-based endeavors. Each component of the plan contains a comprehensive list of activities that will be implemented to enable JUSD to meet the defined goals and objectives, including the year they would be accomplished, those responsible for the activity, and those who would evaluate and monitor the process. Infrastructure, hardware, technical support, and software should be purchased with the end in mind. It is the responsibility of the technology department and the Administrative Council to establish guidelines that direct current and future human and monetary resources toward the most efficient and effective method of reaching the planned goals and objectives. The technology department will monitor hardware acquisition and installation on a daily basis. Regularly scheduled meetings of the Administrative Council, and Principals’ Meetings, will act as the progress check toward goals, objectives, and benchmarks. Also, the technology department will report annually the progress of the Education Technology Plan to the Board of Education in June Technology Master Plan Page 101 of each year. The technology department will use the Principals’ meetings, held once a month, 10 months out of each year, as a forum for introducing new hardware and software purchases, professional development opportunities, and infrastructure plans. Budget 4. Table 8, 3-year E-Rate Budget, outlines budgeted funds by the district for 2014- 2017. These figures include the E-Rate funding contributions expected throughout the course of the 3 year projection. The non-E Rate portion of the expenditures will be funded through a combination of sources including Common Core Restricted and general fund contributions.
