Technology in the 21st Century Even though Skyview is improving in most of the Key Areas, we have not reached our ultimate goal- Target Tech. Teaching and Learning has been at a stable level for 3 years. While it’s good we’re not decreasing, we are not doing enough to reach our goal. Educator Preparation and Development does not follow a specific trend. We need to continue providing more opportunities for our teachers to be technologically savvy. Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support, as well as our Infrastructure for Technology are both on the rise. We need to continue on this path in order to reach our ultimate goal.
