St. Louis Public Schools District Technology Evaluation Report

 

In August of 2001, the St. Louis Public Schools initiated a formative evaluation of the use, allocation, and impact of information technology in its schools and classrooms. The district's basic intent was two-fold. First, the district set out to develop a set of descriptive indicators for how technology is to impact students and teachers. Second, St. Louis wanted to gather baseline data on the current status of technology use. This current status, juxtaposed with the developed indicators, would exist as a series of evaluative findings. Recommendations for change and improvement could then be developed from these findings.

This formulative evaluation effort, under the leadership of Sun Associates from Lowell, Massachusetts, has resulted in a district technology rubric that will be used as the basis for establishing a continuing evaluation of educational technology use and effectiveness within our school district.
