SAU 56 Technology - Share, Learn, Grow...

"It is our vision that the skillful application of technology will enhance every aspect of our teaching and learning."

We envision:

  • Integrating current and emerging technologies into our approved curriculum as tools that support teaching and learning;
  • An on-going program of professional development to maintain current staff knowledge in a changing technological landscape, to the advantage of all learners;
  • Our students, staff, administrators, and community using district technology to enable information sharing;
  • Appropriate business and educational records being maintained and secured for reference and analysis in the district's electronic management system;
  • The adoption of appropriate adaptive and emergent technologies to ensure the achievement of our educational goals.

National Education Technology Standards

As we shift from a technology curriculum that emphasizes skills that are now learned and practiced at an earlier age and grade level, we will be moving toward a philosophy that supports the National Education Technology Standards (NETS) for Students that encourages schools to work toward integrating technology throughout the curriculum, while achieving student proficiency in the following areas:

  1. Creativity and Innovation
  2. Communication and Collaboration
  3. Research and Information Fluency
  4. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making,
  5. Digital Citizenship
  6. Technology Operations and Concepts
