The purpose of the Instructional Technology Initiative (ITI) Task Force was to collectively research and identify a shared vision and ideal practices to support instructional technology efforts district-wide. Upon establishing a common, shared vision, the District will be better positioned to make informed instructional technology and infrastructure decisions moving forward. Convened in April 2015 by former Superintendent Cortines, the task force was carefully selected to ensure broad stakeholder representation from students, parents, and teachers to district administrators and community members. Recommendations were informed by a variety of task force efforts. For example, task force meetings were designed as collaborative learning opportunities to hear from both district stakeholders and leading education technology experts (see appendix). In smaller workgroup meetings, members engaged in activities such as reviewing relevant research, examining similar efforts in neighboring districts, and exploring national education technology standards. Together, members developed and refined recommendations aimed at providing a robust instructional technology learning experience for all learners.

• Introduction: This section provides the framing necessary to understand the proposed recommendations, which require an instructional paradigm shift.
• Foundations: This section highlights two resources that played an integral part in the development of each recommendation and the infrastructure requests needed to support a 21st century instructional shift.
• Recommendations: This section outlines the instructional recommendations put forth by the ITI Task Force, which were developed to lead subsequent infrastructure decisions. Recommendations were informed by a great deal of discussion through independent workgroup efforts and collaborative task force learning experiences.
• Infrastructure: This section identifies the infrastructure needs that must be fulfilled to support the proposed instructional recommendations.
• Funding Options: This section provides a summary of funding models that can be considered by the District to support effective instruction leveraging digital tools.
• Glossary: This section defines keywords that are essential to understanding the full extent of each recommendation and their implication for cultivating a district-wide culture that supports personalized learning for all learners.
• Appendix: This section houses ITI Task Force information such as minutes, task force member list, resources produced and/or reviewed by the task force.
