TIES MINNESOTA TECHNOLOGY LEADER OF THE YEAR

Josh Sumption, Manager of Information Technology for the Southwest and West Central Service Cooperative in Marshall, MN, coordinates technical support for 59 member school districts and 14 nonpublic and charter schools, with over 51,000 students and 7,600 teachers across 18 counties in a 12,500 square mile area of western Minnesota.

Through the Technology Coordination Services framework, Josh ensures that small, rural school districts have access to effective, affordable technology services and support.


Congratulations to Josh!

TIES MINNESOTA TECHNOLOGY TEAM OF THE YEAR

The South St. Paul Technology Facilitation Team was chiefly responsible for implementing a Response to Intervention program that uses the NWEA/Descartes Assessment for Learning to identify students who need assistance. The team has trained teachers to use this tool and established the protocols and schedules for online formative and summative assessment. It also trains teachers in using the TIES Tests and Assessments module to help them quickly and easily view test results and link to specific teaching strategies and resources.

Congratulations to South St. Paul Schools!
