Mission Statement for Technology Committee

About

Berlin Township  School District formed its first official technology committee in December 2015. The goal of this committee is to ensure the technology infrastructure is built, maintained and developed to support the Berlin Township  School District curriculum. Currently the goals of the technology committee include providing leadership for technology planning and continuing to work to shape the vision for an integrated technology curriculum. This committee will also provide another venue for communication about Berlin Township  School District technology for the staff and the community.

 

The Berlin Township  School District members will be selected yearly and serve for a school calendar year. Membership will include:

  • Superintendent

  • Building Principals

  • Technology Coordinator

  • Buildings and Grounds Supervisor

  • Curriculum Supervisor

  • Board Members (2)

  • Teachers & Non-Teaching Staff

  • Community  members (2)

 

Communication

The purpose of the membership is to ensure strong communication links between the various member roles. The committee has recommendation authority only,and should not be viewed as the conduit for specific technology requests from staff or administrators. Requests of that nature should be submitted through the Berlin Township  School District traditional reporting structure.

Berlin Township School District  is committed to fostering intellectual exploration, individual growth and social responsibility in our students' lifelong pursuit of excellence and honor. The district’s motto is “Educating Today for Tomorrow’s Success.”  The Berlin Township School District  envisions ALL of  its students as successful global citizens and leaders in the 21st century.  Teachers will use a variety of instructional methods to reach students with a wide range of abilities so that ALL students will receive the very best educational opportunities possible.
