successful application of knowledge, tools, and skills to solve problems using a variety of media
to extend academic and occupational capabilities.

Mission Statement:
Teachers at Trinity High School, working with families and the community, will educate and empower
every student to succeed as responsible participants in a diverse, 21st century society.

Executive Summary:
Technology will play an essential role in the Trinity High School mission in the next decade.
The plan was developed with three purposes in mind:

To increase academic achievement by personalizing learning through technology;

To establish Trinity High School as high tech, with next generation ecology of learning and
teaching; and

To conduct the business of education through a vibrant, datainformed, streamlined system

of systems, aligned to the vision and mission of the organization.

The following plan lays out

The goals and a realistic strategy for incorporating technology devices in the classroom.

A professional development strategy that ensures staff know how to use the technologies
to improve education.

A cost analysis for the incorporation of the technology.

The recommendations included in this plan focus on the strategies, professional development,
resource investment, and policy changes that will advance these purposes.
Through a plan created from the vision and mission statements, technology will be used to
advance the following goals for continuous improvement:

Goal 1: All students, teachers, and staff will use appropriate technologies and communication
networks identified through needs assessments, research, and/or demonstrated effectiveness to
support increased student achievement.
Goal 2: Technology will be used to provide opportunities for high quality professional
development via multiple modes of online and traditional instruction for all CCSD employees.
Goal 3: The use of technology will be expanded to enhance communication AND improve
business processes for CCSD employees, stakeholders, and the community.

Needs Assessment
The enclosed needs assessment (Appendix A) describes the current status of devices, programs,
and applications used, along with recommendations to improve/enhance the learning experience.

Equitable Access
Our school has provided one computer to each staff member. We have eight computer labs that teachers
can sign up for. We have also incorporated a Bring Your Own Device policy which allows each student to
use his own electronic device for use in the classroom. In addition, we have purchased an iPad cart with
30 iPads for classroom use along with ten additional iPads for students who are not able to purchase their
own device. These iPads can be checked out by teachers.
NETWORKS

WIRELESS: Currently 100% of the school has access to wireless Internet.

WAN: Data transmission has been running smoothly among buildings. No improvements are
needed.

All students have access to an online cloud-based One Drive utilizing Microsoft 360 to store and
share files. They can access their drive from any computer that has internet access, including
from home.

Teachers also have access to the One Drive to store & share files, lesson plans & assessments.
They also have their own personal dive on a teacher network that is a separate server from school
and wireless network. Teachers can access this network from home as well.

Goal:
Relevant, interactive learning and teaching is personalized, facilitated, and supported through the
informed use of technology.
