Action Plan

The overall needs of the campus technology action plan have been assessed; key stakeholders have evaluated areas for professional development opportunities. In order to integrating technology tools into TEKS to provide student enrichment and achievement a professional development action plan is put in place.

Professional development opportunities also focus on improving gathering, analysis and use of data. Using data such as AIES, CIP, STaR chart, and Campus Based Assessments (CBA) to drive all decision making, to improve student learning through the use of technology. These assessments give you data to provide a clear focus and allow you to build a shared vision within the school. Ensuring that you have goals to implement technology within the classroom.

Staff development opportunities are to include curriculum and instruction with technology, allowing for better products and more authentic learning experience. Recommended staff developments include blogging, building and constructing products within the classrooms. Holding staff developments within smaller classroom settings, allowing teachers to have hands on experience with implementing technology within the classroom arranging activities that allow project learning to take place. Mentor programs with newer teachers pair with veteran teachers to share technology experiences. Allowing for constructive conversations that focus on improving student learning through technology.
