Classroom & Instructional Tech
The fixed AV infrastructure at the front of each classroom, the specialty tools teachers reach for to deliver instruction, and the support model that keeps it all running. Distinct from student and staff personal devices (those live in their own EUC sub-domains) and from refresh cadence (that lives in Asset Lifecycle).

Front-of-classroom AV

Every front-of-classroom display technology in operational use across the district. Mixed-generation reality is the norm — newer interactive flat-panel displays in renovated buildings, projectors still active in older ones, occasional smart TVs in specialty spaces. Distinct from a district-wide standard (see F2 for that). Empty selection is incomplete data, not a finding.

How uniformly the display technology from F1 is deployed. Patchwork is operational immaturity (no security/safety failure), so there's no hard finding — the discipline question is whether there's a documented refresh strategy moving toward consistency. That refresh strategy itself lives in EUC-LCY, not duplicated here.

Whether classrooms have voice-amplification systems (FrontRow, Audio Enhancement, Lightspeed, similar). Often a Title I or accessibility-driven program rather than a district-wide standard. No hard finding — "no amplification" is a defensible posture at the right scale and budget.

How teachers project content from a tablet or laptop to the front-of-room display. The maturity question is whether there's a district-supported standard (one solution, supported by IT, available everywhere) versus per-classroom solutions teachers cobbled together. No hard finding — hardwired-only is a defensible posture some districts deliberately maintain for reliability.

Specialty instructional & support

Scope boundary: this field captures the IT-operational coordination layer for assistive technology — district inventory, deployment process, refresh, IT-to-AT-specialist coordination. It does NOT capture IDEA / IEP compliance, FAPE provision evaluation, or special-education program management. Those are outside Kadera's scope; findings here are operational ("no IT coordination"), not legal or compliance verdicts.

The upstream district-wide process that decides what instructional software is allowed in the first place — privacy review, license tracking, sunset criteria, approved-tools inventory. Not the on-device install-blocking mechanism (that lives in EUC-MGT F6 and EUC-STU F6). Cross-ref STW / Student Data Privacy (when that domain comes online): privacy-review at the policy layer lives there; this field captures the operational inventory and IT-side workflow.

How classroom AV issues get resolved when something breaks. Dedicated AV teams are realistic only for larger districts; for mid-sized TX K-12 districts, general IT helpdesk with documented escalation and campus-tech triage is the achievable mature pattern. Ad-hoc support — issues handled by whoever's available with no documented path — is a hard finding: instructional time is lost on every issue while the district hopes the right person notices.
