Star chart summary
1. Teaching and Learning 13 Developing tech
2. Educator Preparation and Development 12 Developing tech
3. Leadership, Admin., Instructional Support 12 Developing tech
4. Infrastructure for Technology 13 Developing tech
SWOT
Strengths-Administration support, Strong tech team, good support, iPads availability
Weaknesses- infrastructure, more devices, fixed mindsets, bandwidth
Opportunities- training, collaboration, eBooks, students allowed to bring own device
Threats- Lack of funds, cyber bullying, sexting, social networking
Strategic Challenges
1. If we don’t address technology infrastructure, we can’t be the school we aspire to be. If we could only lay the groundwork for technology infrastructure, we could become a school characterized by academic excellence and widespread integration of technology resources.
2. If we don’t address a lack of funds, we can’t be the school we aspire to be. If we could only increase funding, we would become a school that can provide 21st century learning experiences to every student.
3. If we don’t address fixed mindsets, we can’t be the school we aspire to be. If we could only move towards a growth mindset, we could become a school that is utilizing every available resource and forging ahead in the use of technology in the classroom.
Strategic Advantages
1. We can expand our administration support to overcome our fixed mindset. We can leverage our administration support given our relationship with our tech team.
2. We can expand our training to overcome our fixed mindset. We can leverage our training given our relationship with our tech team.
3. We can expand our collaboration to overcome our lack of funds. We can leverage our tech team given our relationship with administration support.
I tried hard to follow the outline but i'm not real happy with how it ended up. the sentences seem "clunky" and strange. I cant imagine actually saying them in real life. i don't know maybe i am misunderstanding the assignment, maybe it would be easier if i worked there and knew the day to day activities represented by the SWOT. like for strategic advantages i could do something like "we can use our support from the administration to push teacher with a fixed mindset to move towards a growth mindset." or "We can collaborate to overcome a lack of funding by using our tech team to do more with less." maybe this is just me complaining again. (i tend to do that and i am working on it)
