Long Range Plan For Technology
What is the LRPT?
The Long Range Plan for Technology identifies 6 strategic technology goals for education and guides local education agencies (LEAs) as they develop individual technology plans.
Purpose & Use
The Long-Range Plan for Technology (LRPT), and its accompanying web-based Resource Center, are intended to support a wide range of campus-based and district-wide professionals.
Administrators
The LRPT and web-based Resource Center is intended to be used by LEA Administrators as a toolkit to help ensure that each district has the guidance and informational resources it needs to develop long range technology plans that meet their unique needs.
Teachers
The LRPT provides teachers and educators with guidance and training tools on how to support the ever-changing role that technology can play in the classroom and in learning.
Technology Leaders
It is up to the LEA Technology Leaders to be at the forefront, often leading the district鈥檚 work on managing data, reliable and safe infrastructure, and cybersecurity.
Curriculum & Instructional Technology Leaders
Curriculum and Instructional Technology Leaders are the guides within the LEA that teachers, students, and staff look to for daily implementation support, interpretation of program data, and leadership in digital citizenship.
"Technology can be used inside and outside the classroom to improve education and help meet the strategic goals of education statewide."
Strategic Technology Goals
The LRPT Advisory Committee has developed six strategic goals and 18 focus areas that they believe represent the technology trends and priorities in education. Each LEA should carefully consider how the six strategic goals outlined in this plan align with their own objectives and should strive to achieve positive progress in each focus area.
1. Personalized, Flexible, Empowered Learning
Adaptive & individualized learning based on student needs & abilities.
2. Equitable Access
Fair & equal opportunities for all students to take full advantage of their education.
3. Digital Citizenship

4. Safety & Security

5. Collaborative Leadership

6. Reliable Infrastructure

"An effective education system is key to equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and integrity to contribute to our state in positive ways.
