JET Review
What is JET Review?
The Joint Educational Technology (JET) Review will be happening in Washington Unified on Monday/Tuesday, February 13 and 14. The purpose of the JET review is to assess the school infrastructure as it relates to academic needs. The team will assess the district network (MDF and IDF cabinets and server rooms) and observe and report on technology use in classrooms via Ed Tech Rounds. In addition, they will host stakeholder interviews of District Office staff, IT Staff, Classified, Teachers, Administrators, and most importantly, Students. These will be small groups of individuals that will take a short online survey and answer questions for the JET Review Team on site.
Why JET Review?
The JET Review team will provide a written report that will be used to inform decision-making regarding technology within Washington Unified as we continue to strive toward providing the best learning environment for our students. My expectation is that everyone will provide honest feedback and do “business as usual” during classroom visits. Please do not do a special Technology lesson during their visit as this defeats the purpose of providing an accurate experience of a day in the life of WUSD classrooms. Classroom visits will be random and teacher names and room numbers are not recorded.
Who will be on the JET Review Team?
Our JET Review Team will consist of the following Senior Level Educational and K-12 Technology Professional Leaders:
- Tim Goree, Director of Technology Support Services, Fairfield-Suisun USD
- Joe Ayala, Director of Innovation and Instructional Technology, Union SD
These individuals will be accompanied by a member of the Technology department at all times while on our campuses.
