This process requires reporting changes and updates to the Curriculum Coordinator, the Administration, and the School Board. The district has developed a school improvement plan which contains a technology component. In regard to technology, the goal is to integrate and interweave content objectives, process skillls, and technology competencies and applications into all levels of the curricular areas in and effort to educated students to become effective problem solvers and critical thinkers. The student learning expectations involving infromation literacy skills are integrated into the content areas rather than being taught in isolation. In addition, the existing curriculum in all areas is extended and transformed beyond the limits of the school structure through the ability to access global networks via the Internet.
Students have access to computer labs and library multimedia technology through flexible scheduling.
The Clear Lake staff has been involved in school improvement committees as of the fall of 1996.In the area of technology, thge staff has come ot the conclusion that change in technology continues to occur at an ever accelerating pace. This is as much a fact of life for education as it is for society in general. It is for this reason the staff along with the adminstration has been implementing staff development opportunities via early release for the faculty to keeppace with the advancements in technology. This training will include teachers, administrators and school media specialists. Our challenge as educators is to remain aware of the general changes in our society, to become and remain particularly aware of those changes that affect teaching and learning and to be willing to modify current practice when necessary by adopting the best that new technology has to offer.
