I feel the area that our campus, and probably campuses across the state, needs to work on significantly is the area of Teaching and Learning. Teachers do not integrate as much technology as they can into their curriculum and that has been supported by our campus STaR Chart and in the reading material that we have read so far. They are lacking in designing their curriculum to include different components of technology so that students can have more hands on experience, and I am not talking about using a laptop to research and then make a presentation, but more advanced applications that they can learn and use every day. I think that our classrooms today are not ready for the classrooms of the future and teachers definitely are not ready. Teachers need to engage their students more using technology but they also need planning time and professional development to help in the designing of their curriculum to include technology. Online learning is part of that futuristic approach to learning and I have not seen any approach to that in the high schools or across the state and across the nation. I do think globally, other countries are getting the head start on us. I think as our nation, states, and local school districts plan for the next 10 years and beyond, they must plan with technological advancements in mind. We will only see ourselves continue to lag behind more and more if we don’t.
