    Technology Vision Mission Statement

    Uploaded by

    Michael King
    A vision statement expresses in broad terms about what will happen in the future, while a mission statement describes how the vision will be fulfilled. The vision/mission planning process should be tied directly to the school’s central purpose of educating students and improving learning. In order for this to occur, the steering committee will need to analyze and review their deep beliefs about knowledge and learning and how technology can be integrated to support the vision of school improvement.

    DEVELOPING A TECHNOLOGY PLAN "VISION STATEMENT"

    by
    Michael D King
    Reference: Tech "N" TuIt

    The goal of the technology steering committee meeting will be to write a vision statement that
    provides direction for future technology planning. To accomplish this process, the site-based
    steering committee members will develop both a mission and vision statement. These statements
    will be the nucleus for all future planning. A vision statement expresses in broad terms about
    what will happen in the future, while a mission statement describes how the vision will be
    fulfilled.

    The vision/mission planning process should be tied directly to the school’s central purpose of
    educating students and improving learning. In order for this to occur, the steering committee will
    need to analyze and review their deep beliefs about knowledge and learning and how technology
    can be integrated to support the vision of school improvement. Outlined in Exhibit 1, a sample
    agenda has been prepared to help steering committee members reflect their beliefs regarding the
    integration of technology into education.

    Exhibit 1
    EXAMPLE STEERING COMMITTEE AGENDA
    ===========================================================
    NAME OF SCHOOL
    Technology Planning Steering Committee
    DATE

    AGENDA

    This meeting will be conducted for the purpose of developing a technology vision and mission statement
    for site-based planning process. The development of our technology plan will serve one major purpose –
    the integration of technology to improve student learning. The mission and vision statement will serve as
    the focus of future planning as we strive to meet higher standards for learning.

    GOAL: Using the collaborative planning process, the steering committee members will brainstorm belief
    statements to be used in creating a technology planning mission and vision statement.
    Exhibit 1 continued

    Objectives:
    1. Given time and the opportunity to interact, steering committee members will identify belief
    statements that characterize technology’s central purpose in the school.
    2. Given time and existing belief statements, participants will prioritize the statements from most
    significant to least significant as they apply to the central focus of technology in the school.
    3. Given prioritized belief statements, a writing committee will formulate a draft of the technology
    vision and mission statement. The statement will be given to other steering committee members
    for further input and possible suggestions. The writing committee will be responsible for
    incorporating the suggestions into the final draft. This process will continue until all steering
    committee members have come to a consensus concerning the content of the technology’s
    mission and vision statement.
