 Lumen Christi Goals and Action Plan

GOAL 1: Understand and Incorporate 21st Century Skills and Learning Concepts into Teaching
SMART Goal: The total number of teachers who can define and interpret how to integrate 21st Century Skills and Learning into their
classrooms will increase by at least 20% by 2011 using simple pre and post survey methods.
Strategy: All Lumen Christi teachers will participate in professional development in the 2010/2011 school years in order to
understand 21st Century Skills and Learning. The goal will be to provide teachers with skills and strategies that will
allow them to use technology tools to teach 21st Century skills and the standards.
Rationale: In a report examining over 300 studies of technology use, authors concluded that teacher training was the most
significant factor influencing the effective use of educational technology to improve student achievement. (Sivin-
Kachala & Bialo, 2002)

GOAL 2: Use Technology Comprehensively to Develop Student Proficiency in 21st Century Skills

SMART Goal: Starting in the Fall of 2011, all Teachers will implement components of the K-8 21st Century Skills Scope
and Sequence at their grade level in order to improve student learning; the Lumen Christi Wiki will be
used as a primary resource guide, thus expanding the integration of 21st Century Skills to every grade
level.
Strategy: Teachers will introduce the grade-level 21st Century Skills, Applications and Projects from the Lumen
Christi School District K-8 Scope and Sequence (lumenchristiwiki.wikispaces.com click on grade-level
curriculum) by integrating technology skills into their classroom instruction. A framework will be agreed
upon where (e.g.) 1 project will be required each semester
Rationale: Research suggests that when technology integrated into larger instructional frameworks, students will
not only learn how to use the equipment and software, but will also gain content knowledge (Silverstein
et al., 2000).*

goal will be to provide teachers with skills and strategies that will allow them to use technology tools to teach
