State Technology Plan
The South Dakota Department of Education (SD DOE) aligns its overall mission to that of No
Child Left Behind—“to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a
high‐quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic
achievement standards and state academic assessments.” This mission also serves as the basis for the
SD DOE’s vision that all students will succeed. This department mission guides the Office of
Assessment & Technology Systems within the Department, as it specifically looks to technology as a
means to ensure high-quality education. The mission of the Office of Assessment & Technology
Systems as it relates to technology is that all educators will be able to effectively and appropriately
integrate technology into curriculum to enhance learning opportunities for students.
