Student expectations in my building are far below what they're actually capable of producing.  They give us what we expect

*Vertical disconnect between teachers AND students within our school
*Primary teachers within my school allowing students to use the technology
*Lack of parental knowledge of the technology we are using

Teachers not knowing the basics about technology
wanting step by step directions to follow on a sheet of paper they can refer to
Teachers thinking little ones can't do it - technology
Teachers who can't follow directions
Technology being another hassle to deal with instead of an open door to so many other things
Teachers not realizing the freedom that technology can bring to their classroom
This is the technology era, little ones know how to do so much more than we give them credit for, they want to be independent, they want to have freedom, sometimes its the old folks we have to drag along behind them.

The 'island' feeling that you get at work--- especially vertically. We all should have the same goals...

I want all teachers to ditch their old ways and try something new... not keeping the same plans from when I had them in class 20 years ago!

DIVERSITY IN ED TECH

Lack of diversity in general.  I want my students to SEE people in their building that "look" like them

Embrace technology-we had to learn how to use an overhead projector for goodness sake!  How do we get past the mindset of "I don't want to learn"  Why do we stick to antiquated practices????

Consistency across the district.

Save the TREES-PAPERLESS MOVEMENT!!!!

Issues with diversity and race
echo chamber
listening only to those who agree with us
wanting kids in a homogeneous atmosphere to be able to see something different -- outside of the norm
low income kids getting sidestepped on field trips and cultural opportunities

communication and the streamlining of information in our school could be made easier through Google and technology. For instance, there were 7 spreadsheets going around with students MAP scores last week-the thought was there to share, but could have been easier!

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of vertical alignment within my school.
Behavior students just being pushed off on teachers that do care but not having time to get them what they need. Why are we not using technology to fuel their passions and give them something to strive for!

There are too many different programs/applications for parent communication. Everyone chooses their own and there is no uniform way for parents to receive info on grades, behavior, extra-curricular activities, etc.  It would be nice to consolidate all of this info into a user friendly program with which parents can easily become familiar.
Medici addendum- Pre-K through high school teachers who communicate regularly with parents must engage in discussion about what information is most pertinent to parents. It may be different info at different levels and these need to be identified before construction of a new communication system can begin.

Outcomes post secondary and post elementary in LI-lack of exposure to content/grade level-over reliance on basic skills not understanding that those skills need to be applied to advanced ideas/content

-Medici Effect - having LI and LBD share resources for low resource Ss and high self contained Ss

-FUN factor-the opportunity for innovative, interactive lessons created from multiple perspectives
