Academy School District 20 Lynn Kintz 719-234-1316 lynn.kintz@asd20.org michael.doub@asd20.org	To help individual schools implement the district ET-IL plan and integrate 21st century skills into their site plans, Academy School District 20 has created a rubric “planning tool” that schools use to guide their planning process for technology and information literacy instruction and assessment. The district has also aligned its ET-IL planning process with the district accreditation process – adding “look-fors” to the accreditation external review rubrics that include such things as evidence of collaboration among library media specialists, technology specialists and classroom teachers and links between the school’s ET-IL plan and site (SIP) plan.
