LMCS Technology Skill Outcomes
(Who is your audience? What is your purpose? How will you
critically and creatively address your audience/purpose?)
LMCS students will demonstrate proficiency in these technological skills
as tools for reaching our outcomes of Lifelong Learning, Effective Communication,
Responsible Citizenship, Critical/Creative Thinking, and Healthy Contribution.
The technology will be used in “real-world” integrative ways to improve
student achievement in basic skills and content/performance standards.
Achievement of specific outcomes will be measured by teachers in appropriate
classes; at times, these instructors will need the assistance of keyboarding
instructors and the technology coordinator.
In addition, students will discuss their technology-skill progress with
a faculty mentor, then self-assess personal achievement and place this
analysis in their individual Talent Development Portfolios. These
portfolios will be used in developing the 12th grade exit presentation
for parents/ administrators/teachers/ community members.
Procedure for Reevaluating Technology Skill Outcomes
The one constant in the Information Age is change! Because of
this factor, a representative group of educators will reevaluate these
Technology Skill Outcomes and update them at the end of every school year.
This group will be made up of one teacher representative from each grade
level, administrative representatives, the curriculum coordinator, and
the technology coordinator.
Student and parent input will be gathered as action research to augment
the faculty input in making decisions regarding the age-appropriateness
of these technology skills.
Examining and implementing latest research on the best practices in
integrating technology as a tool for teaching and learning will also be
a part of the reevaluation procedure.
Overall, our work surrounding technology as a tool for teaching and
learning will stay focused on our LMCS learner-centered principles:
LMCS Mission - “Through our collective efforts, we are committed
to eaching and learning for all.”
