Chapter V: Schoolwide Action Plan (2014, Original) GOAL Enhance the delivery of instruction to optimize student learning and to support achievement of expected schoolwide learning results. RATIONALE It was noted in chapter 1 that the school is becoming more selective in its student admissions. The higher caliber student is better equipped to handle more rigorous curriculum. As the school is near capacity and is at a stage in its development where it can focus on “strengthening” as opposed to “building”, creating programs to improve instruction is appropriate. Further, the school, as noted in chapter 4, needs a more structured professional development program and needs a bona fide teacher mentoring program. While the school has particular aspects of the Professional Learning Community program evident among its faculty, the PLC program has not been fully integrated on campus.

GOAL Expand and strengthen the technology plan with the goal of developing a long-term strategic technology plan which will assess current resources and needs and ultimately enhance curriculum and instruction. RATIONALE In Chapter 4, several Areas of Growth were noted by focus group participants. In Focus Group A, participants felt that a school Technology Plan was needed to address present technological weaknesses due to campus and student population growth and to plan for future technological integration of the curriculum. Focus Group B noted that the school needs to improve faculty training in new technology, (i.e. new televisions, new grade portal), improve current wireless connectivity, and address usability of technology in the classroom. There is also a desire to offer teacher training for interactive sites and to interface with online forums for students and teachers. Focus Group B also indicated a need to implement a Technology Plan which considers a comprehensive overview of how technology is used in each classroom. ESLRS: • Spiritually – responsible Christian citizens • Intellectually – skilled lifelong learners and academic achievers – Utilize appropriate technology to support learning • Socially and morally – effective communicators 56

GOAL Investigate and implement a comprehensive campus master plan to ensure the most efficient and strategic use of facilities to meet the academic and co-curricular needs of students. RATIONALE As JSerra Catholic High School reaches maximum capacity it is essential to ensure that campus facilities are being used to maximum, efficient capacity. Per feedback noted by faculty in chapter 4, several areas of the campus are underutilized. As school enrollment has increased, security demands warrant a revised campus safety plan.

Goals and Objectives Goal 1 - Technology will support curriculum by: • Providing increased opportunities for individuals to master basic and advanced technical, academic, and job-related skills • Improving the quality, flexibility, and delivery of instruction • Motivating individuals to participate in their own academic growth • Enhancing the presentation of curriculum to the entire learning community • Providing innovative methods to utilize higher thinking and problem solving skills • Fostering innovative critical thinking through the acquisition of research and development skills • Providing for the acquisition of evolving computer/technology proficiencies Goal 2 - Student learning: Students will enrich their educational experience by using technology as a tool for effective communication, personal productivity, and lifelong learning. Goal 3 - Powerful teaching: Teachers and students utilize technology for teaching and learning throughout the entire learning community, to build awareness and understanding of varied teaching methodologies, and to publish best practices and student and staff accomplishments. Teachers and students will acquire technology skills that meet Levels I-III of the CTAP proficiency standards. Goal 4 - School-to-Community connections: The learning community will utilize technology to increase the connection between school and community through the sending and receiving of information. 71

Goal 5 - Technology Training for the Learning Community: The school will develop and implement opportunities for technology training and technology assessment for the entire learning community to increase productivity, efficiency, and communication. 4 Technology Vision Statement JSerra Catholic High School recognizes that the use of technology plays an important role in improving the quality of instruction and is a tool for the entire learning community. The ability to access, analyze, and synthesize information through technological means is critical to academic and personal advancement. Students graduating from JSerra Catholic High School must possess the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to succeed in an increasingly complex, global, information-based society. It is JSerra High School's vision to empower graduates to be comfortable with and proficient in using educational technology and to possess the skills to interact with individuals, organizations, and agencies through computer telecommunications 5 Technology Implementation Process • A new Technology Committee was formed in the Fall of 2014 as recommended by WASC. The committee is comprised of selected department representatives, administrators and board members who exemplify a strong knowledge and understanding of technology and its importance for creating technologically astute global citizens. The committee meets once a month and is primarily responsible for continuous review of technology within classrooms and teachers and for planning for academic development for teacher, staff and students, The Educational Technology Specialist is responsible for facilitating these technology committee meetings. • The Director of Operations position was created in July of 2015. Part of the role of this position is to oversee the IT requirements of the school and to implement processes and procedures to incorporate best practices for implementation and maintenance of the various software and hardware for the school. o A comprehensive evaluation of the current state for servers and network to determine next steps as equipment is starting to reach useful life. o Using various resources to determining capital and funding possibilities to remediate issues sited in network evaluation. o A comprehensive review of the different software in use by the school to eliminate redundancies and consolidate where possible. o Developed change controls and implementation procedures for review and testing of all software and hardware to be added to the environment can be thoroughly vetted prior to implementation. 72

o Review of recommendations by the Technology Committee in order to provide feedback to President and Principal on whether or not the recommendations can be sustained within the current environment and to predetermine resource requirements for implementation. 6 Curriculum/School Administration Component 6.1 Needs and Resource Assessment In the Spring of 2015 JSerra hired Evolution Learning Educational Consultants to conduct a Technology Needs survey to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the existing system. The strengths the report showed are that JSerra faculty and administration have integrated technology in their daily tasks and into the curriculum. All teachers have a laptop, a Smart TV and a projector, and some also have document cameras and 3D printers. Teachers also have access to an online gradebook, portal for grades and assignments as well as subscriptions to different learning software. The reported weaknesses are that the current wireless infrastructure is not adequate to the needs of the school as a great number of students and faculty reported having difficulties connecting, also the teachers expressed great dissatisfaction with the current gradebook and portal and students likewise do not find the portal easy to use and find information on. Staff also expressed a high level of frustration with the slowness of their devices, and many of the devices were seven years old or older. In April of 2016, another evaluation of the internal network environment was performed by a 3rd party vendor. The major areas of concern raised were as follows: • Lack of proper backup system with offsite replication and implementation of a backup solution • Move email to Microsoft 365 • Switch replacement due to end of life of current switches • Migration or upgrading phone system • Upgrade of existing servers to run latest version of Microsoft Server, some are running versions no longer supported or move to a hybrid of cloud based and in house servers to reduce monetary impact for backup needs. • Install redundant firewall • Perform internal licensing audit • Install redundant internet connection especially if moving away from in house servers to cloud based. 73

6.2 Instruction and Instructional Design Teachers are required to post grades and assignments online. The gradebook links to student and parent portals that allow constituencies to see real time grades and academic progress. Parents and students can also access these portals to see upcoming exams. Progress reports are sent electronically four times per year, which saves the school time and money. Teachers can use the technology to assist absent students by posting their power points, assignments, handouts, links, and even recorded versions of their class on the LMS. The following software is used by JSerra’s teachers in the different programs: Software Department Purpose is a cross-platform runtime Adobe Air Engineering system developed by Adobe Systems for building desktop Adobe Flash IT applications and mobile Aery Engineering applications, programmed AGI STK Engineering using Adobe Flash Aplia Required to run some Web App Inventor Tools programs ATC Simulator Glider Design Software Audacity modeling and analysis software for the aerospace Auralia and Musition Autodesk Inventor Professional Social Sciences Lessons and Exercises (AutoCad) Camtasia Engineering App Development Canopy Engineering air traffic control simulator.

The results of the evaluation show that the majority of the faculty scored around 40% or below. The evaluation itself was divide into four areas: Basic Computer Operations and Concepts, Microsoft Office Skills, Internet and Research and the Web 2.0. 77

Instructional videos are used during teacher orientation which include access to webinars. Administrative meetings are managed with electronic tools, such as Sharepoint, where agendas are maintained and tasks are tracked. Reports are automatically generated once students reach a certain number of tardies and or absences. 7 Professional Development JSerra needs to increase the technical proficiency of the faculty. The school’s plan is to continue its subscription to the Grovo learning materials but the school needs a way to motivate the faculty. Funds are needed to create awards for those teachers who complete all the trainings with a passing score and attend at least 2 of the professional development opportunities offered on campus. After 2 years, the school should give the same skills tests to the faculty and see if the scores go up. In the 2015-2016 school year, the following workshops where offered to the faculty.

TestMaker Turn it in Wealth Engine Xirrus Enhanced Care Policies Patching No formal patching / testing system. Updates are done manually on servers. Most faculty and students never update their workstations. There is a summer systems collection policy in place, but is often unobserved. Antivirus MBAM is on all systems and Forefront is used on all non-Windows 10 systems. Replacement solution with central monitoring and alerting is needed since. none currently exists. 100% of systems do have MBAM. There is defender running on Windows systems when it exists. Mobile Device Polices Students are technically only allowed to bring issued computers on campus (no phones, no tablets, no personal devices). ACS prevents non authorized systems and uses MAC based auth. Dixon is interested in Xiurrus’s MDM solution. Network Access Control See above – ACS currently in place. ACS is running version 3 Storage Local storage on all ESX servers, means HA cannot be implemented correctly. Virtualization Running ESX 5.5 on all clustered hosts. Standalone host running VMware 6 and VMware 4. VMware environment needs consolidation and inclusion under vCenter umbrella. ESX networking needs build out to include port channels for better bandwidth. JSerra desperately needs shared storage solution to implement High Availability. Backup and Disaster Recovery Backup Exec 10 is running on Quantum Superloader 3 with tape. Tapes stay on premise and nothing goes offsite, 5 week tape rotation. There is not enough capacity to back up full infrastructure. The current backup set includes shares, home directories and SIS. Currently, there is no backup for AD, Exchange, SharePoint and other VM’s. A better solution including capturing VM images is needed. 83

UPS/Power Management New UPS’s, no UPS in IDF’s, needs visiting. Current UPS supports 10 minutes of uptime – MAX. Servers not configured for graceful shutdown using Powerchute. UPS’s not connected to network. Maintenance Windows IT Dept provides at least 24 hours ahead of planned maintenance. Maintenance can generally occur anytime after school hours [7 or 8pm]. Current Pain Points Using Cisco Voice Solution – Call Manager 5.1.3 with Unity 7, 175 phones [mix of 7940, 7960]. Both Call Managerand Unity are running End Of Life versions. Bandwidth is limited to users because they are connected to the back of the phones for hardwired access which takes Gig switching down to a 100mbps connection. For special cases, like the athletic coaches who use Huddle, extra network drops are ran to provide full Gig connectivity back to the core switch stack. 9 Technical Support Create a list of technical support personnel and detail maintenance and repair and responsibility as a resource.
