4. How does the district’s Instructional Technology Plan build upon, continue the work of, and improve upon the previous three-year plan?
The Technology Plan 2022-2025 planning process was more involved, detailed oriented, included an increase in the number of informational sessions and consisted of additional stakeholders as compared to previous years. The NYS mandated stay at home orders along with the overnight shift to remote learning that occurred within the past few years significantly propelled the immediate use of technology in instruction and quickly uncovered instructional gaps and challenges along with celebrations.

The district’s Technology Committee began planning sessions during the 2019 school year in anticipation of what the district’s Technology Department predicted for district needs. In the past three years, this committee identified technology strengths and areas for improvement. Similar to the submitted and approved 2018-2021 NYSED Technology Plan, the Florida Union Free School District had four lofty goals which included the following broad areas of infrastructure, physical security, professional learning and the seamless integration of technology into classroom instruction, anytime, anywhere both on and off campus. While it is important to make certain that technology integration is the cornerstone of technology, that would not be the case without a detailed focus on the backbone of technology infrastructure.

During the past school year (2021-2022), the district reviewed the role of technology during multiple stakeholder meetings as identified above. During this review period, it became evident that the district has three broad goals for the life of this plan that include the areas of infrastructure, security and instruction in order to meet the safety, cybersecurity and instructional needs of both the district’s young and adult learners.

While the 2018-2021 technology plan focused on the early implementation of physical security, the plan for 2022-2025 is to focus on and build upon aspects of physical security and also incorporate additional elements of cybersecurity and data protection. The previous plan also included a professional learning/seamless integration of instructional technology goal of which the district exceeded expectations and builds upon that goal today, tomorrow and beyond. Finally, the 2018-2021 technology plan included technology infrastructure improvements. Those goals were met during the life of the previous plan. Since infrastructure is a critical component to overall technology goals, it continues to have a significant place in the 2022-2025 plan and all future plans.

In summary, the 2022-2025 NYSED Technology Plan pays particular attention to three major areas, infrastructure, security and instruction. The district’s future goals are based on these three areas.

5. How does the district Instructional Technology Plan reflect experiences during the COVID pandemic?
The district technology plan enhances the efforts that were put forth in order for this district to perform completely in a 1:1 mobile device environment. While in a global pandemic, it was necessary to pivot to online learning literally overnight. In doing so, the district quickly made arrangements for students in grades PK-5 to obtain their district-assigned device from the school building to use at home while students in grades 6-12 already brought their devices home. Simultaneously, and as part of the district’s technology equity initiative, the Technology Department, working in conjunction with school building staff, identifies students and families experiencing connectivity challenges. Each identified family is provided with a district-issued hotspot.

Professional learning based on instructional shifts/remote learning provided to staff, students and families markedly increased in the Florida Union Free School District since early 2020. Staff, students, parents and community members are given technical assistance needs and ideas for enhancements via conversations, surveys, phone calls, emails and even “socially”-distanced and physical home visits. During our time in quarantine, the district provided professional learning sessions 3-4 days per week for one hour sessions held twice per day with embedded learning based on staff, student, parent and community input and identified needs. The district also provided learning opportunities for parents through the district’s “Parent University” offerings held three times per week at different times during each day and daily office hours for students in need of one on one assistance. Professional learning sessions, “Parent University,” access to connectivity via hot spots and Technology Office hours are proven successes in the district and their implementation continues.

We continue to have instructional technology available to staff, students and parents at all times. We plan to enhance the quality of our infrastructure and hardware throughout the years to meet the needs of our students and the ever-changing learning environments.

6. Is your district currently fully 1:1?
Yes

7. Please describe the professional development plan for building the capacity of educators and administrators in the attainment of the instructional technology vision as stated in response to question 2.
The Florida Union Free School District acknowledges the importance of ongoing, consistent and sustainable professional learning for staff, teachers and administrators. Professional development includes opportunities for district employees to support technology to enhance teaching and learning and increase their technology skills in order to keep up with vast shifts in technology. The district supports technology based on feedback provided through meetings, conversations and effective observations. Per the District’s Professional Development Plan, this method of technology placement for instruction coincides directly with all District goals to meet the needs of each student, goals of improving student achievement and building a community of lifelong learners.

This district is dedicated to providing high-quality instruction that aligns with the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards and ISTE’s National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for students, teachers and administrators. In order to meet the above standards and certify all staff and students are technologically proficient, the appropriate use of technology seamlessly integrated into instructional practices is necessary. Infusing technology into instruction increases student engagement and provides tools to assist students to access, analyze and synthesize information. Whenever possible, the use of technology will be used to provide professional learning opportunities including the following platforms but not limited to: screencasts, webinars, and online courses. Most opportunities are and will continue to be provided in a layered fashion to include: media specialists, after-school workshops sponsored by experts from multiple areas and backgrounds, online courses and workshops offered by Orange Ulster BOCES and NYSCATE, web training, informative videos, conference days, vendors, and other professional organizations. The following list outlines the wide variety of professional learning opportunities that assist with the attainment of the district’s instructional technology vision:

1. Superintendent Conference Days- minimum of 2 days per year- These conferences focus on aligning curriculum and instruction with the NYS Learning Standards by immersing staff in the following topics to include but not limited to:
• Seamlessly integrating technology into the learning process
• Meeting all student needs by conducting assessments and prescribing an appropriate and aligned learning pathway
• Provide staff with the opportunity to meet with peers both within and outside the district to share, discuss and reflect upon strategies to implement researched-based best practices
• Embed literacy in all content areas
• Use of project-based learning and learning through inquiry
• Opportunities for sharing innovative instructional practices
• Learn and share co-teaching methods, learning styles, meeting the needs of all students/take note of strengths and highlight those areas, IEP awareness, RTI & CSE formats and general education teacher roles
• Look at social and emotional needs
• Implement diversity, equity and inclusive practices

2. FUFSD Technology Offerings- In order to achieve the district’s missions and goals, it is imperative to provide professional learning options for all staff that encompasses technology rich experiences. With appropriate modeling and learning opportunities, the district’s staff has the capacity to understand, learn and increase knowledge of how to apply and integrate technology solutions into lessons. In order to enhance the use of technology in the district, the Technology Committee offers the following professional learning focus:
• Comprise after-school learning sessions every two weeks that follows a 4 session sequence:
• Understand the use and components of a software/hardware solution
• Use time to design lesson/learner usage for the software/hardware solution
• Take a deep dive into the solution’s analytics
• Share and present to colleagues usage of the software/hardware solution within their grade level or content area
• Offer weekly 30-minute technology-based sessions held after school. Sessions will be recorded and archived for future viewing • Provide Ed Law 2D/cybersecurity monthly training
• Provide transformational learning environments that include project-based learning, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) and other technologies embedded within the NYS Computer Science and Digital Learning Standards
• During collaboration, department meetings and after-school sessions:
• Build awareness and unpack the NYS CS&DL Standards
• Discuss available materials
• Embed concepts and skills into district curriculum maps
• Encourage attendance at appropriate and aligned BOCES offerings

3. BOCES and NYSCATE Workshops– Annually, the district budgets funds to provide staff with opportunities to attend various workshops. Priority for attending workshops will be given to those that increase staff capacity to address student success with all NYS Next Generation Learning Standards, English as a New Language and NYS assessments.

4. Additional Professional Conferences– The district targets appropriate grant money as well as budgeted funds to provide opportunities for staff to attend local, state, national and international professional conferences throughout the school year and during summer months. Staff may request
funding for these opportunities within their annual budget allotment.

5. In-service Workshops; Seminars; Online Sessions; Curriculum Writing; and/or Assignments, in preparation for Superintendent Conference Days The district provides the opportunity for staff to partake in any of the professional pedagogical activities mentioned above. An emphasis is placed on relating instructional planning and practice to meet individual instructional needs of students, embed literacy, including NYS Next Generation Learning Standards, as well as updating and expanding teaching strategies and improving students’ learning outcomes. Teachers receive remuneration or in-service credit for participation. In-service workshops must have prior approval for such credit. All tenured teachers must acquire 15 hours of in service credit over a three-year period as for the collective bargaining agreement. The district also provides the instructional employees with collaborative opportunities for staff at all grade levels, PK-12 and also meeting time during the staff-driven second faculty meeting each month. Once a teacher partakes in a professional learning opportunity, it is the district’s expectation that the learning be represented in instruction and the transference of learning be evident through effective observations. With many opportunities to demonstrate their learning, district staff will showcase their growth in applying and integrating technology solutions into their class lessons. The efficacy of their professional learning and growth will be presented through collaborative conversations during PLC and faculty meetings, through classroom observations as well as through surveys that reveal an increase in staff and student knowledge of digital literacy, fluency and overall growth in the district’s capacity to effectively drive student learning outcomes.

Examples might be formative data, local, state, and/or national LEA benchmarks, metrics from instructional software, other technology evaluation programs, etc.
The Florida Union Free School District recently created a living document that contains information for both physical building security and technical security aka cybersecurity. The FUFSD Security document contains fields such as investments and details information about security hardware (make/model, etc…), date of installation, hardware location, in-service date, maintenance information, end-of-life updates, planned replacement, possible funding streams, software deployment and other areas outlined by NYSED Ed Law 2-D, Office of the New York State Comptroller- Local Government Management Guide: Information Technology Governance (December 2021), NIST Cybersecurity Framework and results from the MS ISAC- National Cybersecurity Review (NCSR). The Technology Department along with the superintendent, members of the business office, buildings & grounds/safety and security coordinator and Technology Committee will review this document a minimum of three times per year with the purpose of reviewing all systems, cross-checking information for updates, and verifying the district is on point with budgeting and funding streams. The notes section assists with detailing importing information necessary to make fiscally responsible decisions.

For this goal, the district uses multiple assessment tools in order to show cybersecurity progress. Specifically, the Office of the New York State Comptroller- Local Government Management Guide: Information Technology Governance (December 2021) self-assessment, NIST Cybersecurity Framework review and results from the MS-ISAC- National Cybersecurity Review (NCSR) are the assessments that occur annually, at a minimum. Additionally, the district uses the created security document to create, find funding for and implement a safety and security refresh plan in order to replace hardware and critical safety and security infrastructures, all necessary to implement a functional technology network that includes the seamless integration of instructional technology. The security document allows the district to analyze hardware and other district safety and security infrastructure needs with the goal of aligning funding streams with the replacement of hardware and critical safety/security infrastructure before the equipment reaches end-of-life or maintenance/security updates end.
The goal is accomplished when hardware and safety/security infrastructures are replaced/refreshed and when yearly cybersecurity assessments show growth and maturity in line with the timeline set forth in the district’s plan.

V. NYSED Initiatives Alignment

1. Explain how the district use of instructional technology will serve as a part of a comprehensive and sustained effort to support rigorous academic standards attainment and performance improvement for students.
Technology integration and a safe technologically enhanced classroom environment are both critical in curriculum and instruction when engaging students during class lessons, protecting staff and student data while addressing academic standards all in order to improve student performance. With appropriate engagement and the seamless and safe integration of technology comes an increase in time on task, creativity, and the flexibility of learning (anywhere/anytime, local, state, nationwide and internationally) which contributes to student achievement and the capacity for lifelong learning. The use of web-based tools, district purchased hardware, a solid/safe/secure network and infrastructure and other technology based instructional techniques assists with fostering this atmosphere.
Students will use current and future hardware, software, web-based sites, Google Workspace and other means spanning across grade levels and curricular areas. The information below outlines how the district plans to integrate technology into teaching and learning, districtwide and provides explanations to which technology is used by teachers to facilitate their practice and the extent to which technology is used by students to demonstrate understanding of skills and concepts, districtwide:
• provide a cybersafe environment that helps protect PII/sensitive data
• use of the district’s VoIP telephone system to foster learning connections
• accurately and appropriately assess student learning gaps and strengths in order to inform daily instruction
• create personalized learning environments
• expand the use of curriculum related sites to current operating systems and mobile technologies
• enhance understanding
• create learning environments for each student that aligns with ELL, IEP and 504 plans
• participate in formative and summative assessments
• provide practice
• complete homework
• take quizzes, tests and more importantly, locally developed benchmark assessments
• complete multimedia presentations
• synthesize information
• participate in cloud-based technology
• take online assessments to assist with informing instruction
• provide instruction that supports a project-based learning model
• implement STEM/STEAM/STREAM and flipped learning models of instruction
• use data to aid in and enhance student learning
• think critically as outlined in the above goal
• provide necessary tools for anywhere/anytime learning both within and outside the walls of school buildings for local, statewide, national and international learning experiences
• embed NYSED Computer Science and Digital Literacy standards
• participate in NYSED Computer-Based Assessments
Technology Delivery- With a solid wireless infrastructure, strong network servers and switches and physical classroom presentation tools all bundled into a cyber safe environment that assists with the protection of sensitive data and PII, technology delivery takes many various forms to include but not limited to:
• Online learning via mobile devices
• Remote learning opportunities/Use of hotspots, when necessary
• Video Conferencing/Camera System
• VoIP telephone system
• Google Applications and extensions
• Google Workspace (multifactor authentication and protection of data in transit)
• Virtual Field Trips
• Screencasting
• Webinars
• Web-based tools
• Social Networking
• Online Presentation Tools and Physical Presentation Tools
• Social Media
• Learning Management Systems
• Web-based assessments

2. Explain the strategies the district plans to implement to address the need to provide equitable learning “everywhere, all the time” (National Technology Plan). Include both short and long-term solutions, such as device access, internet access, human capacity, infrastructure, partnerships, etc.
As technology evolves, new ways to incorporate technology into instruction, materials and assessments are in development. It became evident in the Fall of 2019 that our district needed to focus on equitable connectivity for all students. Parents and staff completed a survey and the district had the capacity to provide hot spots to both staff and families. Doing so was enhanced just a few months later when all staff and students were forced to learn, teach and work from home. Just over the past few years, tools like “Google Workplace,” “Kami,” “Words Their Way- online,” “NorthStar Educational Tools” and “NWEA’s MAP assessments” have begun to play an integral and essential role for each student. Connectivity and access to technology is monumental and considered an essential utility in the Florida Union Free School District. It’s critical that:
• All students have access to both hard-wired workstations, Chromebooks and other mobile devices over the wireless network. Access to technology for all students is especially critical to success. In many cases, technological software/applications enable students to reduce achievement gaps. Software along with teacher facilitation helps remediate critical skills, close educational gaps and enhance all students with the ability to learn.
• Equipment is provided to accommodate a variety of learning styles. For example, “books on tape” or other audio formats may be provided for the auditory learner.
All of the above-mentioned opens doors for efficient, effective teaching and learning. Technology can level the playing field and enable each student, including students with IEPs, 504 plans and ELLs to participate, sometimes in situations where they would be left without the appropriate provided equipment. Technology provides teachers with strategies to meet the needs of all learners. To ensure equitable access the above is incorporated for ALL students via:
• Recommendations from RTI Team and Committee on Preschool Special Education (CSE/CPSE)
• Recommendations from teachers and those in Intervention Services
• Fluid AIS program
• Adaptive MAP assessments
• Skills classes
• North Star Educational Tools
• Words Their Way
Annual meetings of the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) and Committee on Special Education (CSE) make the determination of services each student needs for academic success. If either of the committees needs assistance with recommendations for assistive technology the Committee Chair can:
• Reach out to the district’s Technology Department for appropriate suggestions.
• Contact a qualified outside agency to provide an assistive technology evaluation.
• Once the appropriate assistive technology is identified the hardware, software or other technology is ordered and configured for the student(s). Training for all necessary stakeholders is also planned and executed. Support is provided when necessary for administrators, teachers, staff, students and parents.
As part of a solid technology plan it is critical the district to:
• Obtain feedback from multiple stakeholders in order to keep abreast of rapid changes in technology, innovation, curriculum, instruction and assessment
• Review and implement change based on data from NYSED Digital Equity Survey
• Provide timely and appropriate professional learning to all staff members
• Research and invest in a full-time technology integration specialist
• Refresh devices that meet needs for the district’s 1:1 mobile device initiative for staff and students
• Refresh critical technology infrastructure to include but not limited to: wireless network, servers, switches, classroom presentation tools and cyber security practices (to protect sensitive data and PII)
• Provide hot spots for staff and students experiencing connectivity challenges
• Make informed decisions based on DEI, Technology, content areas, Professional Learning, Leadership and SEL Committees • Partner with Future Ready Schools, NYSCATE, ISTE, Orange-Ulster BOCES, Mid-Hudson Regional Information Center and other district identified consultants for professional learning opportunities.

3. Students with disabilities may be served through the use of instructional technology as well as assistive technology devices and services to ensure access to and participation in the general education curriculum. Describe how instruction using technology is differentiated to support the individual learning needs of students with disabilities.
The technological landscape is forever changing. In order to stay abreast of these vast changes, an up-to-date technology infrastructure is necessary. In order to deliver the below mentioned technology, a solid wireless infrastructure, robust network, servers, switches and physical classroom presentation tools, all in a cyber safe environment that assists with the protection of sensitive data and PII, is necessary.
Technology is used in a variety of ways to assist students with disabilities. This includes the use of accessibility features (text to speech ((Kami or accessibility Chromebook features, for example)) or speech to text as one example) on specific 1:1 devices such as Chromebooks and iPads, additional apps (mod math or Kami, for example) that support learning needs and styles, as well as assistive technology devices and apps for assistance with communication (iPad touch chat app, for example).
Instructional strategies used with students with disabilities includes but not limited to are, screencasts, annotate with Kami and instructional videos are provided for students to assist with completing assignments, for example. Special education teachers and providers continually consult with other professionals, the technology integration specialist and the district’s Technology Department to ensure differentiation and appropriateness of student support. For example, the use of North Star Educational Tools enables teachers, administrators, and parents to make real-time strategic decisions for students’ optimal learning needs. This, in turn, allows for a more specific instructional delivery which optimizes student learning. Annual meetings of the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) and Committee on Special Education (CSE) make the determination of services each student needs for academic success. If either of the committees needs assistance with recommendations for assistive technology the Committee Chair can:
• Reach out to the district’s Technology Department for appropriate suggestions.
• Contact a qualified outside agency to provide an assistive technology evaluation.
• Once the appropriate assistive technology is identified the hardware, software or other technology is ordered and configured for the student(s). Training for all necessary stakeholders is also planned and executed. Support is provided when necessary for administrators, teachers, staff, students and parents.
