School Planning

Media Workshop offers two types of school planning:

Whole School Planning
Our experience shows there are multiple levels of structure, communication and common vision that must be strengthened in order for schools to take command of their new media and technology resources.
Media Workshop offers a combination of services that include:

• Providing 'needs assessment' to determine appropriate focus for spending.
• Developing and writing technology/media plans including resource planning, appropriate purchasing and technical support
• Facilitating planning meetings among teaching staff, school and district leadership, parents and community representatives.
• Organizaing school-wide planning committees to develop curriculum
• Designing a strategic staff development plans that is customized for the school's budget, philosophy and individual staff needs and abilities.
  

Administrative Consulting/ Technology Planning
While most formal technology plans begin and end with the technology itself, Media Workshop conducts comprehensive planning in terms of the bigger picture--considering issues such as communication, mission, media and technology resources, school-based and community-based support, standards and staff development. Workshop consultants assist district and school leaders in the creation, implementation, and revision of flexible-yet-focused long-term technology plans that support specific curriculum and instructional goals.

Our approach to new media and technology integration is grounded in student-centered, collaborative, and inquiry-based strategies for teaching and learning.
