Technology Audit

Contact: Renée Regnier

Audience(s): Administrators

Service Description:

The McREL Technology Audit is a comprehensive analysis of a school or district's current use of technology and its effectiveness. The results are detailed in a report that also provides recommendations as you move forward with a school improvement planning process.

Key Ideas:

The audit process includes the following elements.

• A teacher technology survey measures staff’s comfort with and use of technology.
• We conduct teacher and principal interviews to gather data about the use of technology, related professional development, and barriers for technology integration.
• A series of focus groups with teachers, administrators, students, and parents is conducted throughout the district.
• McREL uses its Power Walkthrough^® software to conduct walkthroughs in each classroom and collect data on the strategies and technologies teachers are using, the context of instruction, and the learning that is occurring.
• A final audit report includes all data gathered, providing a comprehensive view of the school or district's technology use and action steps for integration.
