The STLP program at this school has grown from 20 students in 2011-2012 to 80 students in 2012-2013. The program provides leadership opportunities for students through technology-focused projects. Students manage computer labs, check out iPads for teachers, and help circulate books in the library. They have also organized several school-wide events like a Veterans Day program and blood drive. The vision for the program is to continue increasing students' access to innovative technologies and applying them to solve real-world problems.

 Representing 1st-3rd grades
Representing two nationalities and many ethnicities

3.  Prior to 2011, STLP was not a program offered to students at our
school.
 2010-2011 Our school participated in a school accreditation process.
Upon review, we found that leadership opportunities for our students
and student centered technology were our major weaknesses.
 We researched many supports and found starting an STLP program met
most all of our needs.
 During the 2011-2012 school year, we began an STLP program in which
around 20 students joined. We had a small group to present a
showcase project at state. We received a trophy for Top Twenty in the
State!
 We have grown to 80 students this 2012-2013 school year.
 We do encourage and allow any student who would like to be in STLP to
be a member. Teachers have a rotation of these students in their
classrooms to perform many of the leadership responsibilities on a daily
basis.
 We recently adopted the Leader In Me program and instructional
materials

16. Our vision is to consider the technological world our students are living in, and keep pace. We feel
this can only be accomplished by putting the most innovative technologies in their hands . With
these devices, they need to solve problems, learn, and organize the world around them . We truly
believe that the goals of the STLP program will help us realize that idea. So far, we have
formally participated in the showcase events in which we have received high honors. We hope this
year at state we come home with another “Best in Showcase from Regional Group ” trophy. On the
other hand, the valuable impact we have made and the learning experiences we have had far exceed
any material reward or recognition. Our future plans are to make other teachers in our school
and district more aware of the benefits of this program, especially how it provides real-world
application of important guides like common core and college and career readiness. This will be
started at a professional development meet where teachers can discover the STLP website and all
the many project opportunities. We also plan to share student testimonies expounding on what
they have learned. Next year’s showcase project will be centered around improving the student to
technology ratio. We want to explore devices such as Nooks, Kindles, and other technologies out
there in the waiting and in the making that will further improve our efforts toward educating our
21st Century learners.
