write your school’s mission statement that incorporates technology and comment on it. How does their statement align with your personal practice? Does it meet the goals for your capstone?
Travis Unified School District's technology mission statement is to support progressive 21st century learning, improve student achievement, facilitate data-driven decision making, increase employee productivity, and enhance district and school communications through providing strategic technology support services and tools to our constituents. This mission statement aligns with my practice in the way that it supports 21st century learning. Everything I have been studying in this Masters program supports being an innovative teacher and how to implement those skills in my classroom. I like how my district cleary states it and supports teachers. My goals in my capstone and my future practice are to become more proficient at implementing technology and the TPACK model in my classroom. I would also like to continue to focus on literacy and how reading scores can be improved by using technology reading software that automatically differentiates instruction and has a high visual component. I think it is important to learn how technology programs and tools will impact all learners. I especially hope it proves to have a positive impact on those students who are at risk and with special needs. I also would like to see literacy improvement cross curricular in the primary grades. I feel my school's mission statement supports my goals in my capstone very well. With such a supportive school and district I believe it will be much easier for me to be a more innovative teacher and implement the strategies I learn in the this Master's program into my classroom.
