We are coming halfway through a study. So we wanted to make sure that everybody is kind of aware and grounded of why we're coming this early as opposed to having everything sort of tied up in a nice neat bow for you because it's not tied up in a nice neat bow and you'll find that as we talk through this. But there was Senate Bill 68 came to fruition in the I think in the spring of last year or in the summer and the board policy that we talked about devices and what that was going to look like so personal electronic devices at that time and we made a decision of a one year sort of hiatus of kind of dealing with students bringing their own devices to the high school in particular and so we knew that we needed to study and really have some thinking about what our device fleet would look like from the district moving forward because we knew that we knew that Chromebooks were no longer adequate for the things that our students needed to do within the teaching and learning environment and also that we were relying on personal electronic devices to help with some of that teaching and learning so that's what accelerated our pace.

Oh my God I totally forgot. Chris I got all it was such a fun presentation I forgot we had to approve it. I moved that we approve the revised social studies review goals, the district written social studies curriculum and the financials as outlined in the report. Second. Okay it's been moved and seconded. All those in favor. Aye. Any opposed. No. Okay the motion passes. Congratulations. On the new goals. Good work. I think that's the first curriculum review that got applause. So now Dr. Garganigo will be joined by Mr. Heider to review part the first year or first part of a two-year self-study in technology. Okay. Like before we'll start with what grounds our work as a system so the profile of the Clayton learner surrounded by our three goals of our CSIP. We've highlighted within goal two where we feel like this falls within our CSIP and generally when I talk about goal two I have educational growth highlighted tonight. I don't have educational growth highlighted. Equitable personalized and individualized learning experiences highlighted. So I think as we've engaged in this work around technology one of the things Jeff and I used to talk about this Luke and I continue to talk about this philosophy of the purposeful integration of technology and teaching and learning and that it's not even about devices.

Equitable personalized and individualized learning experiences highlighted. So I think as we've engaged in this work around technology one of the things Jeff and I used to talk about this Luke and I continue to talk about this philosophy of the purposeful integration of technology and teaching and learning and that it's not even about devices. It's more about the work that we do with those devices in thinking about our profile of a Clayton learner as well as our thinking around empowered learning and so a lot of our focus this year with technology has been how can we use it as a tool to empower students in the work that they're doing within the classroom. So a little bit different from the other self-studies that will come to you that we'll be talking about this spring. We are coming halfway through a study. So we wanted to make sure that everybody is kind of aware and grounded of why we're coming this early as opposed to having everything sort of tied up in a nice neat bow for you because it's not tied up in a nice neat bow and you'll find that as we talk through this.

We're also acutely aware of House Bill 2230 which is the one that's going through right now being discussed within the legislation about the amount of time that we need to have with our particularly our youngest learners are on devices and so that has influenced some of our thinking and will continue to influence our thinking and we have had a lot of conversation about that so you'll see bread crumbs of that and you won't see that tied up in a nice repo but we are working on that.

The other piece we knew as we were talking about what needed to happen with district devices is that we have multiple platforms that are operating right now and so his team has a pretty heavy lift with those multiple platforms and those decisions were made purposefully the last time that we did a technology study but we think we've outgrown our thinking at that time and so our thinking has shifted and some of that is influenced by the need to have some consistency across the system so across the entire district and then like I said technology and learning.
