Rationale
At Purple Pride, our students' academic success is paramount. All students can and will make academic gains. These gains will be realized through the use of best practices in teaching, technological advancements, collaborative efforts with the community, and securing and maintaining a safe, respectful, learning environment.
The technology goals are designed to support the strategic plan. Teachers will be instructed in both technology skills and integration ideas in order to support the academic learning of all students. They will learn to be more productive and to facilitate communication through technology. Teachers will also learn to create and structure projects that require the use of collaboration. Teachers will use data to inform their instruction. This data will be delivered, organized, and searched through technology.
