I believe the area in which the impact is the greatest in the Long Range Plan is the area of leadership, administration and support because of this I choose to focus on this area. Strong leadership can ensure that the technology vision becomes a reality. Providing characteristics of what good leaders look and act like. Some characteristics that they exhibit are to provide staff development, use data for decision making and develop, implement and budget for a technology planning.
Progress in this area focuses on creating a technology plan that falls within the shared vision between the state and campus. Creating a campus technology team in which decisions are made in accordance to the goal of the long range plan.
Trends in this area have the focus should be to integrate technology into all schools. Allowing for adequate teacher planning time and tech support and ensuring that computers are able to run effectively. Recommendations for TEA, regional agencies, and local agencies; examples include to provide leadership in data driven decision making and model leadership in the use of technology. At the school level however this was our lowest scoring area. Providing more professional development opportunities in which teachers can build off of their current knowledge and also having the technology team set up to help with issues that arise.
