Not enough student computers In our campus plan, our school stated that

we will increase our technology resources.

Since the SBM committee placed this

request into the campus plan teachers have

been provided with presentation carts. Our

campus now has two mobile labs that have

over 40 new lap tops. Our computer lab has

been updated with new technology and we

are now working on getting four e-beams

for the campus. The SBM committee has

stated that upgrading technology is a

ongoing process.

Some teachers don’t feel comfortable

with using technology and it is hard

for them to learn.

Teachers must work with the

technology provided by for the

campus in order to feel

comfortable with it.

Make Teachers aware of the

Technology TEKS and that the

responsibility we have as

educators to ensure we are

teaching our students.

The campus Instructional leader team

will provide on the job support and

continue working with the teacher

until they feel that they can be

successful on their own.

Problem Solution Solution Process

Teachers also feel that it is time

consuming and separate part of

their curriculum.

We must align our curriculum to

the TEKS and then show

teachers how to integrate the

curriculum with the Technology

TEKS.

The campus Instructional

Leader Team will commit to

making at least 2 lessons per

nine weeks as a guide with the

help of grade level teachers that

is aligned to the curriculum and

integrate technology into the

lesson.

Teachers are not effectively

utilizing our data to help drive

instruction.

Teachers must be shown the

benefit of using statistical data

to maximize student growth.

Teachers need ongoing the job

training in the data resources

provided by the district in order

to see their value and utilize

them in an effective way.

GOAL

To get teachers to use technology in an effective way to drive instruction and maximize student learning

Action Plan

Step by Step Process Data Support Time Line: 2years

Introduce all teachers to the Texas Long Range Plan and the Technology TEKS

Upon surveying the teachers man I have spoken to are not aware of the Texas Long Range Plan or the Technology TEKS.

This is an on going process for a campus as new staff members come aboard. This will take place with in the first couple of weeks at the start of each new year.

Instead of hitting teachers with all of our different programs at once, like we have done in the past, we will work together as a campus to integrate one program at a time into our lessons. On the job support and professional development will be provided. The Technology team will go into the classroom to assist teachers with the integration process.

Our STaR chart as been listed at

still developing for the past three

years. The Campus

Improvement Data and the SBM

committee recognize that all

teachers need more in-depth

training on the available

resources.

We will work slowly and a lot

approximately 6 weeks per

program until teachers feel

as if they have mastered and

learned the program. We

will go into the classroom at

least once week to provide

instructional support.

As teachers get use to

integrating technology into

their lesson plans we may

shorten this time frame.

Action Plan

As a campus we will work together to

integrate the Technology TEKS to the

district curriculum for reading, math, and

science.

According the Texas Long Range Plan

technology is not to be viewed as

separate part of teaching. It is to be

effectively integrated into all parts of the

district curriculum and be viewed as a

necessity not an add on.

The Campus Instructional Leader will

initiate a campus Improvement

Technology Committee.

This Committee will be composed of

at least one teacher from each grade

level and subject.

The team will create lessons that

aligned to curriculum by subject and

integrate different forms of technology

into each lesson. The team will meet

twice every nine weeks to and create at

least 2 lessons.

The lessons then will be shared at

grade level meetings for all teachers to

view and implement.

Support for the implementation of

those lessons will be available if a

teacher would like additional support.

Action Plan

The teachers will attend training on

how to effectively use our data

resources such as

DEMAC, INOVA, AEIS etc..

The data states that if schools use

statistical information to identify

strengths and weaknesses then teachers

can better equip students and impact

student learning.

Ongoing

Teacher Using Technology Data Integrating Technology

Will meet monthly in grade level meeting to review technology

•Campus ImprovementPlan efforts•INOVA Data•AEIS ReportsTeachers will show evidence that data is being used to drive instruction and increase student knowledge.

•Teachers will Provide evidence of technology integration (student work, power point presentations, web page updates, and lesson plans)•Teachers will demonstrate knowledge of Technology TEKS and provide evidence that they are being taught through lesson plans, student conferences, and principal walk troughs

Student Using Technology Data Integrating Technology

Will effectively be able to use all technology forms available on the Campus.

•Participate in grade appropriate research

Will produce printed work for evaluation and display.
