Discovery 1-CollaborationCollaboration is a key factor when building an EA. There needs to be communication between the stakeholders and not isolate the IT department from the Business department. When roles and responsibilities are aligned everyone's working towards the same goal. Business architecture will guide the departments into a collective vision when there are clear roles and responsibilities and improve decision making. | Discovery 2- Current and Future StateWhen starting this course we looked at current and future states in our own experiences. This is the same for any LEA, we have to look at the current state to plan for future state. Are the services provided by the LEA mission aligned with the services provided? Planning for future state EA can close those gaps in the current state. | Discovery 3- Plan and update frequently and annuallyWhen a EA plan has been created to improve student services, we need to remember that it is a living document, that even though there is a rule thumb on how changes should be made, we need to revise and update annually. It can be easy to fall into a standard and just leave a plan as it is. We need to use any errors that we find to continue and make our EA plan functional to support LEA mission. |

Provide an example of a successful implementation due to strong executive and stakeholder involvement. What occurred?A successful implementation due to a strong executive and stakeholder involvement included implementation of devices for next school year. The Superintendent and the Executive Director were present at this event. There was a group of teachers looking at the devices and asking questions to vendors. All the devices that were an option were aligned with SBAC requirements for their testing. In addition, the district created a Tech Fair where staff were invited to vote for the device of their choice. There were several options to chose from. Having the Asus Devices for a year, teachers knew what things they would change from the devices and how these new devices could serve all students. I think this is a successful implementation of devices. They are not only looking at the requirements necessary for SBAC, but also giving the opportunity for teachers to shop and look at the devices. At the end, they will be the ones guiding students using these devices to integrate technology in the classrooms. |
