Educational Systems Planning has a long history of assisting individual schools and school districts in the development of strategic Technology Utilization Plans (TUP’s) and Technology Infrastructure Master Plans (TIMP’s).

The Technology Utilization Plan is intended to be a long range dynamic strategic plan which focuses on the planed and systematic integration of both administrative and instructional technology in a single school or across the district. The typical Technology Utilization Plan outline might include:

          - Executive Summary
                  - The Vision: Education in the 21^st Century
                  - Technology Mission Statement
                  - Current Technology
                  - Statement of Critical Issues
                  - Statement of Technology Initiatives
          - Implementation Recommendations
                  - Initiative Goal and Benefits
                  - Implementation Schedule
          - Hardware/Software Requirements
          - Implementation
                  - Schedule
                  - Actions Steps
                  - Responsibilities

The purpose of Technology Infrastructure Master Plan document is to assist the architect's design of new and renovated schools, which will incorporate the district’s desired uses of instructional and administrative technology. Briefly stated, the Plan:

          - Identifies the impact of learning and technology trends
          - Documents the districts desired learning environments
          - Documents facilities design standards for technology in new,
            modernized, and existing schools
          - Defines detailed communications infrastructure standards (Division
            17000)

The Technology Infrastructure Master Plan assists architects in addressing:

          - Technology and facilities planning activities
          - Instructional systems selection
          - Impact of technology utilization concepts on schematic design
          - Facility requirements to support technology decisions
          - Design and layout of technology spaces
          - Standards for voice, video, and data communications infrastructure
            design
          - Procedures for technology installation oversight
