Goal 2 Professional Development
Goal 2: Professional Development
Staff development must occur in three areas: basic computer usage, personal and
professional use of technology, and integration of technology in instruction. This proposal
will attempt to provide training in these areas. Turnkey trainers will base staff
development on the concept of specificity; that is, teachers will be trained from whatever
skill level they already possess. Once teachers have mastered basic skills, the turnkey
trainers will focus on developing technology-based lessons and units that correlate with
their curriculum needs.
We believe teachers should also have access to training in:
z
Management in the:
One-computer classroom
{ Ncomputing cluster classrooms
{ Laptop Cart (Computers on Wheels)
Use of the LAN (Local Area Network), and district data services
Video conferencing
Eboard
Web 2.0
Productivity applications
Audio/visual applications
Reasearch using VRC (Virtual Reference Collection)
Digital Media Library
Graphic Arts
Integration of Technology Into the curriculum

We propose that technology training will be addressed the following ways:
Formal Approach
• In-service courses – Formal 15 hour In-service courses made available through
the year facilitated by either Model Schools BOCES or RCSD Teachers.
Participants will earn credit or money for those who are maxed out.
Informal Approaches

Collegial Circles - A collegial circle will meet once a month to address issues of
concern identified by the participants. At the first meeting, the concerns will be
discussed and brain stormed. A schedule of topics will be arranged. Resource
people will be contacted to facilitate discussion of issues.
Observation – Observations will be used to identify areas of improvement regarding
technology integration.
Push in Training – Turnkey trainers need coverage for this aspect of the training to
work. We propose hiring a substitute teacher one day a month in each building for
the sole purpose of allowing classroom teachers the opportunity to “book” the turnkey
trainer to demonstrate, observe, team-teach or troubleshoot a technology related
issue in their classroom.
Using Library Media Center – Using library media centers to allow users to
research topics.
Teacher Collaboration – Through the use of uniform prep periods and shared
intranet pages, teachers will be able to share technology infused lesson plans and
other exciting ideas.
Just in time training will be addressed in each building by the turnkey trainers.
We will continue to develop the skills and ability of computer lab assistants as a
resource for the classroom teacher.
Partnerships– We are investigating partnerships with universities and other
organizations in order to extend learning opportunities.

Core Element 3 Assessment
It is our Goal with this technology plan to outline the best possible scenary of improving the
organization and delivery of instruction using technology. In many parts of this plan we discuss
how we would like to see expansion of technology into the classroom but it must be the right
technology and it also must work. So for our needs in order to improve education we envision a
solid infrastructure of people and electronics which work together to ensure the basic network is
available and secure at all times for all staff. We currently have 13 people total in the Technology
Department including 9 Computer Lab assistants, 1 Engineer, 1 Technician, 1 Secretary and 1
Tech Coordinator. In the past computer technology was mostly in the Technology Laboratory but
now we are adding more technology to each classroom changing the dynamic in many buildings.
Even though more technology is and will be available in the classroom it is important to
understand that Labs still play a vital role for students and teachers and should not be repurposed
but improved. Information about our Lab Hardware and Software Inventory can be found here
http://rtd.riverhead.site.eboard.com
Our technology committee helps steer us in the right direction as far as developing plans for future
projects, assessing the results of past and existing projects and researching new and emerging
technologies. As we have discussed in this committee technology even with the best technical
support can not improve education which is one of the reasons the partnership with Eastern
Suffolk BOCES Model Schools is so important. They not only help support our Superintedent's
conference days with instructors but they provide Subject specific technology integrators
throughout the year for inservice, pushin and building PD opportunities. Training and Integration
are essential to improving education through technology.
Below are a few items we use here in the district to support our programs:
z
z
z
z
z
We currently use Wincap from Capital Computer in Albany to handle all of the Financial
needs of the district.
For Student Management we use the web based EschoolData system in all buildings.
For Asset Management we use a product called Altiris.
We currently use a solution from Freedom9 called ICR 2000 to archive all incoming
and outgoing email. This system is seperate from the Exchange environment and is only
used for legal discovery etc.
To help keep parents informed about their student's absenses as well as upcoming events
we use the automated calling system Connect Ed.

Internet access is available to students, teachers and staff in the Riverhead Central School District. We are very pleased to
bring this access to Riverhead Central School District and believe the Internet offers vast, diverse and unique resources to
both students and teachers. Our goal in providing this service to teachers and students is to promote educational excellence in
the Riverhead Central School District by facilitating resource sharing, innovation and communication while maintaining a safe
and secure computing environment.
The District Internet Acceptable Use Policy and Terms and Conditions of Use contain guidelines on the appropriate use of the
District System. These guidelines along with an Integrated Internet Safety Curriculum will help students become and continue
to be safe, responsible Computer and Internet Users. The District will provide students and parents with guidelines for student
safety while using the Internet. The District will notify the parents about the District System and the policies governing its use.
There is a wide range of material available on the Internet, some of which may not be fitting with the particular values of the
families of the students. It is not practically possible for the district to monitor and enforce a wide range of social values in
student use of the Internet. Further, the district recognizes that parents bear primary responsibility for transmitting their
particular set of family values to their children. The District does encourage parents to specify to their child(ren) what material
is and is not acceptable for their child(ren) to access on the Internet.
The following policy for acceptable use of computers, networks, and system resources, including the Internet, shall apply to all
students. Any student who violates any condition of this policy is subject to disciplinary action or as specified in the Student
Handbook and District policy. The Technology Department reserves the right to terminate access to system resources for any
user who violates these guidelines.
Please review the following guidelines:
1. The individual in whose name a system account is issued will be responsible at all times for its proper use.
2. Users shall not let other persons use their name, logon, password, or files for any reason (except for authorized staff
members.)
3. Users shall not use others’ system accounts or try to discover another user’s password. Attempts to login to the District
System as a system administrator, root or netadmin may result in cancellation of all user privileges.
4. Users will not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the District System or to any other computer system through the
District System or go beyond their authorized access. This includes attempting to access another person’s files. These
actions are considered “hacking” and are illegal, even if only for the purposes of “browsing.”
5. Users shall not erase, rename, or make unusable anyone else’s computer files, programs or disks. Users shall not
intentionally damage the system, damage information belonging to others, misuse system resources, or allow others to
misuse system resources.

Storage device or any other removable media.
11. District policies on plagiarism will govern use of material accessed through the District systems. Users will not plagiarize
works that they find on the Internet. Plagiarism is taking the ideas or writings of others and presenting them as if they were
original to the user. Teachers shall instruct students in appropriate research and citation practices.
12. Users shall not use the system for illegal purposes, in support of illegal activities, or for any other activity prohibited by
District policy and guidelines. Users will not use the District System to engage in any other illegal act, such as arranging
for a drug sale or the purchase of alcohol, engaging in criminal gang activity, threatening the safety of any person, etc.
13. Users shall not write, produce, generate, copy, propagate, or attempt to introduce any computer code designed to self
replicate, damage, or otherwise hinder the performance of any computer’s memory, file system, or software. Such
software is often called a bug, virus, worm, Trojan horse, or malicious code.
14. Users shall not use system resources to purposefully distribute, create, or copy messages or materials that are abusive,
obscene, sexually oriented, threatening, harassing, damaging to another’s reputation, or illegal. Users should be aware
that the inappropriate use of electronic information resources can be a violation of local, state or federal laws. Violations
can lead to prosecution.
15. Users shall not use system resources to purposefully access materials that are abusive, obscene, sexually oriented,

are the property of Riverhead Central School District.
20. Routine maintenance and monitoring of the District system may lend to discovery that a user has or is violating the District
Internet Acceptable Use Policy and Terms and Conditions of Use, the disciplinary code, or the law. An individual search
may be conducted if there is reasonable suspicion that a user has violated the District Internet Acceptable Use Policy and
Terms and Conditions of Use, the disciplinary code or the law. The Riverhead Central Schools District reserves the right
to access and view any material stored on the School District’s equipment or any material used in conjunction with the
District system.
