 * 2009– 2011 **


 * Background and Rationale **

Chisnallwood Intermediate School is part of a MoE funded ICTPD contract. An ICT audit was completed in May 2009. Kathy Baker is the current lead teacher due to the former lead teacher, Lisa Squire’s appointment as an eTime facilitator. The school is well resourced with 180 computers, each classroom has a ceiling mounted projector and there are 8 Promethean ACTIVboards interactive whiteboards in use. All full-time teachers have a TELA laptop. These were replaced in September 2009 and recently all classrooms were equipped with a sound system. All computers in the school are PCs and have Windows XP or higher as their operating system. The network cabling was provided to the school by a teacher in 1999 and while this cabling is adequate until now it will need to be replaced with high speed cabling in the future. All teachers’ laptops run off a wireless system. All computers are linked to two networked photocopiers for printing. The school introduced eTAP as its Student Management System in 2007. Every year sees the system being used more to its potential but its greatest advantage is the ability for teachers to access student data on an offsite. E-asTTle has been introduced for assessing literacy and numeracy (2009). Teachers are able to create their own tests to assist in planning for students needs and the ability to integrate E-asTTle and the student management system is a huge advantage.
 * Strategic Goals 2010 – 2012 **


 * ICT Vision **

// "Individual schools have scope, flexibility and authority to design and shape their curriculum so that teaching and learning is meaningful and beneficial to their particular communities of students." // (Pg 37) New Zealand curriculum.

Chisnallwood Intermediate School values the contribution that ICT can make for the benefit of all students, staff and parents/caregivers. We actively promote and utilise safe ICT opportunities within the whole school ethos, with greatest emphasis on the promotion of learning and teaching.

Our vision encompasses the following aims: · to enable all our staff and pupils to be confident, competent, and independent users of ICT. We aim to use ICT where appropriate to motivate and inspire pupils and raise standards across the curriculum.

· to improve the quality of teaching and learning through the use of ICT applications, students will have opportunity to **//Think//**, **//Communicate//**, **//Contribute,//** **//Self Manage//** & **//Create//**

· to develop student’s ICT skills, knowledge, understanding and capability and to provide opportunities for pupils to apply and consolidate their ICT capability across all curriculum contexts.

· to provide an environment where access to ICT resources is natural and commonplace.

· to keep pace with educational developments in ICT and have a commitment to teachers having the necessary tools to do their jobs effectively.
