May 23, Background How did we get here?  7/1/05 -- ICT literacy standards became effective as part of the revision to all of the School Approval Standards  DOE has been issuing Technical Advisories since January 2006 to help districts better understand the new standards

May 23, ICT Info Sessions  January/February 2006  All six Educational Support Centers held ICT literacy information sessions To provide further clarity about the requirements within the standards and the great amount of latitude which districts have to implement them

May 23, ICT Assistance Sessions  May/June 2006  All Centers host assistance workshops  3 common objectives: 1.Inform district teams of pertinent materials 2.Assist districts to identify ICT within curricula 3.Create common tools to help assess ICT (“micro level” assessment rubrics used to assess individual classroom activities, not the whole portfolio)

May 23, Summer Institute 2006  Today’s work and the work of similar sessions at the other Centers will inform the ICT summer institute work of creating some common assessment rubrics for assessing student portfolios.
