General Mission Statement
Students of today live and learn in a technology and media-driven environment. Today’s life
and work environment require far more than thinking skills and constant knowledge. Rapid
changes in communicative technologies require a new attitude toward the educational
process, one that recognizes the need for life-long learning and innovative skills while
addressing the moral and ethical questions created by new technology within the framework of
our Catholic beliefs. This ongoing learning process is crucial for all of those involved in the
process, including administration, faculty, staff, and students. The Diocese of Tucson has
embraced this concept and is committed to promoting this attitude toward learning as it
strives to integrate new technologies into the academic curricula. However, as the
Declaration on Christian Education states, “Technology is not to be viewed as an end in itself.
It is used as a vehicle of communication, analysis, and research in the light of Catholic values
and moral decision- making.” Moreover, teaching is not just about imparting and gathering
information; it is about acquiring knowledge by thinking about information. Therefore, the
Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Tucson will continue to carry out the educational
objectives of its mission while being open to the fundamental changes that information
technology will bring about in our institutions.
To achieve the goals of the mission, the Diocese of Tucson fully embraces the necessity of a
continued strong academic core curriculum such as English, Reading, Mathematics, Science,
History and Government. In order to develop a comprehensive framework for learning we
must integrate these core subjects with creative, innovative critical thinking and problem
solving skills, together with communication and collaboration skills. In our current technology
driven environment it is critical to incorporate information literacy at a very high level within
our 21st century educational standards.
The mission of the Department of Catholic Schools is to help our Catholic Schools in the
Diocese of Tucson create the best possible atmosphere and environment for faith, academic
excellence, and service that are integral to the life of every student. The Diocese of Tucson will
develop a plan to integrate a technology system of quality education that prepares students to
meet the challenges and address changes of the 21st century into its schools to help:
•
Students
Introduce students to a value of rich, multidisciplinary, technology-infused learning
environment that promotes higher-order thinking skills and digital citizenship in our
emerging global society.
•
Teachers and Administrators
Allow teachers and administrators to effectively implement technology to facilitate teaching
and administrative tasks and embraces a vision of education that incorporates a core
academic curriculum which incorporates a framework of 21st century readiness.
•
Address the Moral and Ethical Question:
Address the moral and ethical questions created by new technologies within the framework
of our Catholic beliefs.

Executive Summary
Demography
The Diocese of Tucson Technology Plan 2010 (DOTTP2010) is a structured overview for the
implementation of technology into our schools to prepare today’s student to be successful in
tomorrow’s world. The mission is to establish guidelines to facilitate a learning environment
where technology is utilized to support the curriculum, empower administrators, teachers, and
students to become self-directed, continuous learners, and ethical, responsible citizens prepared
to meet the increasing challenges of a global, technological society.
Summary
This document is directed toward administrators and those who are responsible for developing
the initial stages of technology planning. Users may choose to identify additional resources and
technologies not listed in this guide that better serve the needs of their school, student
population, and learning expectations.
This Diocese of Tucson is comprised of 27 Catholic Schools in 7 counties of Southern Arizona
(See Appendix 1, Diocese of Tucson Schools). The initial process of reviewing the Technology
Plan Update 2007 (DOTTP2007) involved each school in the Diocese to complete the Diocese of
Tucson Technology Survey 2009-2010 (Appendix 3, Status Evaluation Form) given to each
principal by Sister Rosa Maria Ruiz, CFMM, Superintendent of the Tucson Catholic Diocese
(see Appendix 2, How Schools Were Evaluated). Currently, the Diocese of Tucson fosters (1)
PreKinder school, (1) PreKinder – Kindergarten, (19) (pre-K) K-8 schools, and (6) High
Schools. Results were based upon a legend of compliancy versus non-compliancy as specified
by the objectives of DOTTP2007. Based upon the phases of DOTTP2007, the evaluation was
further categorized by: Infrastructure and Hardware; Connectivity, Planning and Management;
and Education and Training.
Each school received a calculated Grade Point Average (GPA) based upon each of the three
phases (see Appendix 4, Data Sheet.) It is the recommendation of this committee that all schools
achieve a goal of a 2.5 or higher for each individual phase given by the timelines established by
DOTTP2007. Twenty-two schools were in compliance and two schools were in noncompliance. The overall average GPA for the Diocese of Tucson schools was a 3.3.
Through the analysis of the collected data, the flowing areas are noteworthy:
The highest scored objective:
•
•
•
Infrastructure and Hardware at 100% compliance:
o Functioning computers throughout the entire school, computers in multiple
classrooms, accessible printers, media play back machines with presentation systems.
Education and Training at 100% compliance:
o Integrates technology into the curriculum
Connectivity, Planning and Management at 100% compliance:
o Student informational database, an Acceptable Use Policy, security to protect
technology equipment.
Diocese of Tucson
Page 5 of 5
The lowest scored objective:
•
Connectivity, Planning and Management at 71% non-compliance:
o Provide appropriate alternative and additional technologies such as Personal Digital
Assistants (PDA) for student and/or teacher electronic storage of notes and calendar
events.
Additional areas of strength include:
o Firewall protection, Antivirus, spyware and malware type systems, evaluation plan
for updating technology, inventory of technology equipment, at least one dedicated
computer lab or mobile lab, an alternative media center, capturing devices, integration
of software applications in subject areas of the curriculum, CD/DVD textbook
accompaniments.
Additional areas of weakness include:
o Electronic white boards, a computer lab monitor for open lab times, self-paced web
instruction, electronic computerized testing software,
This guide is sectioned into three phases that may have multiple levels distinguishing early and
advanced stages of a schools technology outcome. It is the goal of each participating school to
work toward a 75 percent (2.5 GPA) compliance by the timelines established by DOTTP2010.
All schools must submit a yearly technology plan that includes goals, a detailed inventory list of
technology, a status evaluation form, and measurable outcomes by the use of their technology.
These documents are subject to committee review for compliance and the sharing of information
for schools not in compliance. Schools with GPA’s above 3.0 should act as mentoring schools or
be willing to do so at the request of the Diocese. Those schools that have not satisfied the
requirements are suggested to seek funding through e-rate, technology grants and Title funds.
This Technology Plan outlines the framework needed for each school in the Diocese to create a
technology system, including computers in classrooms and libraries/media centers that are linked
by a local area (centralized) network.
As a school undertakes an assessment and begins to purchase equipment to meet the Diocesan
Technology Plan's goals, it must develop its own School Technology Plan in such a way that
allows the school's technology system to reach the goals of the Diocese Plan in all phases. For
example, computers must be network-capable with the minimum memory requirements for
networking, contain available slots for networking cards, and have the capability of supporting
Internet applications and e-mail.
Schools may include principals, teachers, staff, parents, parishioners in the committee to reflect
their individual school community, and the committee members should seek input from their
own community to create a technology system and plan.

Overview of the Three Phases
1. Phase One (Begins August 2010 and Ends May 2011)
Phase One assesses the needs of infrastructure, hardware and software requirements, staff
development training, curriculum integration, security, and maintenance and evaluation
plans. This phase also includes an Internet component in the technology system and allows
for adjusting the current Plan to meet technological evolution several years from now. It also
considers the adequacy of content filters, firewalls, and addresses all security concerns.
Each school in the Diocese of Tucson will submit a formal three-year written technology
plan with yearly status update of progress of variation of their goals to the Diocese of Tucson
Superintendent of Catholic Schools.
It is the goal of each participating school to work toward a 75 percent (2.5 GPA) compliance
of Phase One.
2. Phase Two (Begins August 2010 and Ends May 2012)
Phase Two continues to address the needs for connectivity through school-wide networks,
integration of technology into classroom activities, implementing and supporting interactive
technology, and the continued training of staff to meet national technology standards.
