​{Kids>Teachers>Technology} 

Originally a product of the Maintenance Department, the MO of the DCPS Technology Department was for many years only to support technical requests. Now technology is central to almost every function of every department including instruction. 
​​
If we embrace the idea that technology is ALWAYS a tool and never a product, a Technology Department that embraces a role of organizational leadership is a tremendous amplifier for success. 
Proposed Mission Statement: The Technology Team exists to move teaching and learning FORWARD through service and expertise.  
Why / What / How

​Why: The Technology Team exists to move teaching and learning forward
What: through service and expertise 
How: by supporting instructional best-practices, application usefulness, hardware effectiveness, and training impact. 
Our priorities are to:
  1. Identify the effective teaching practices we want to support.
  2. Identify applications to enable those practices.
  3. Identify hardware and infrastructure that supports the applications.
  4. Train and support those teaching practices, applications, and hardware. 
  5. And take these actions with a servant’s heart for customer service.
Goal One: Every student in DCPS will have access to a teacher who knows when and how to use technology to amplify learning.
Goal Two: Every student and staff will experience a fully functional technological infrastructure.
Goal Three: DCPS will run a lean but omnipresent technology team that balances instruction and technician.
Goal Four: Decisions made will reflect prudence as it relates to the use of taxpayer money and the safety of students and staff.
