- W2994471420 abstract "Editor's note: T.H.E. Journal's newest column, Funding Survival Kit, will offer advice on how to navigate the K-12 funding landscape to help with the acquisition of technology. The advice will come from researchers and consultants at RedRock Reports, an educational technology consultancy. In this inaugural column, company president Jenny House provides an overview of the five most important funding trends likely to impact the K-12 environment in the coming year. Look for future articles to explore many of these and other salient points in more and greater detail. 1. Technology's Shifting Role in K-12 With digital content becoming a primary source of instructional delivery across the curriculum and in professional development, the critical role technology is playing in schools is unprecedented. Funding for technology traditionally has focused on hardware, infrastructure, and supplementary instructional content acquisitions. Now, however, technology is seen as part of a total instructional solution for a school or district. Federal funds that used to be dedicated to equipment acquisition are now being integrated into the funds created to support teaching and learning. Your search for funds to purchase technology can now include instructional programs like Title I--Career and College Readiness, Title IIA--Improving Teacher Quality, 21st Century Community Learning Centers, and others. All of these funds support technology purchases when they are made in the context of a total instructional solution. This means it will be important to articulate how your state, district, or school is incorporating technology into its solution--curriculum plus assessment plus professional development. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] No longer is it merely a question of buying electronics equipment; rather the challenge to you is to determine what technology purchases support instructional goals for improving student achievement and teacher and leader quality. How does technology help improve reading and computing for the low-performing students in your schools? How can it improve teacher effectiveness? What technology is required to do this? How does technology enable and engage your students with disabilities? What technologies can help your teachers be more effective in engaging students, and how can you train them efficiently and support them throughout the year? The trick is to match the technologies you might have available with the tasks you wish to achieve. If you do this, the money should be there. 2. More Competition In 2011, only 16 percent of federal funding was competitive. The rest was distributed by formula, given to districts based on their students' and communities' demographics, academic performance, or other factors. In 2012, the percentage of competitive funds rose to 24 percent--a $4.9 billion increase. The prediction is that, given the challenging economic environment these days, particularly in government, this percentage will continue to grow as new funds are added to the federal list. But there is still another new element in these grants that you must consider when putting together a team to pursue them--multiple entities that must participate. Some of the biggest grants, like Race to the Top (both state and district) and Investing in Innovation (i3), require that not only the district but also rural schools, nonprofits, universities, and vendors participate. This entails massive amounts of coordination, delegation, articulation, and communication throughout the grant-writing process. Each entity will negotiate budgets, but only one can take the lead and manage the process throughout the term of the grant. That can be a challenge, but the size of the grant makes it worth the effort. The two federal grants mentioned above easily could be as large as $25 million over a five-year span, making for some Sizable improvements. What does this enhanced competition for government dollars for education mean to you? …" @default.
