This document contains the instructional technology strategic plan for the Arlington Public Schools (APS) as developed by the Instructional Media & Technology (IMT) Department, which was established in 1992. The mission of this department is to support teachers, students, and related instructional staff in the effective use of instructional, informational, and communications technologies to enhance the teaching-learning process. IMT currently consists of five units: Academic Computing, Distance Learning, Educational Television, Library Media Services, and the Teaching Materials Center. The report begins with an executive summary, which details the purpose and methods of two studies which were conducted to provide background information for the 5-year plan and lists its major new initiatives. The specifics of the plan are then introduced, including the background and evolution of instructional technology in APS, the purpose of the study, and the conclusions and findings from the Instructional Use Survey and Instructional Technology Focus Groups. The strategic plan, which makes up the major part of the report, is then presented, including goals, objectives, and action steps. It is divided into three sections: new initiatives; summary of implementation costs; and ongoing initiatives. Additional needs for full implementation of the plan are then identified, including IMT departmental reorganization, additional staff, and central office funding. A summary of research on the impact of instructional technologies on student learning and a historical perspective of program growth in the APS are also provided, and a brief summary concludes the report.
