The Anoka-Hennepin School District vision statement for technology is . . . |
It is the vision of the Technology Steering Committee to provide equitable and effective use of existing and emerging technology to engage and challenge diverse learners in preparation for global citizenship in an increasingly complex information society. Technology supports effective communication and an efficient use of resources as well as providing a conduit for data-driven decision making. |
Anoka-Hennepin's mission is to effectively educate each of our students for success... |
To reach the district's technology vision, we tied them directly into the eight accountability standards identified in our district mission statement:
a. Providing a caring, highly trained, and effective staff who use research-based best practices. b. Providing learning opportunities that meet the individual learning needs of each student. c. Monitoring student achievement to maximize each student's learning. d. Promoting high achievement for all students. e. Acknowledging parents' roles as their children's primary educators and partnering with them to increase student success. f. Improving connections with the community to foster public involvement with, and understanding of, our educational programs. g. Providing a safe and respectful learning environment. h. Using all resources efficiently and effectively. |
