2. Based upon the data gathered on the technology needs from week 3, an area of
professional devlopment needed on the campus is educator preparedness. The
professional development will reflect the Campus Improvement Plans for increased
student achievement as well. The first step of the plan will be an overall assessment of
campus technology implementation in the classrooms. This will be determined through
teacher and student surveys as well as data form the librarian on computer lab usage. The
next step will provide teachers with direct instruction and assistance in incorporating
technology into their classrooms. Teachers will be trained on using technology resources
and be provided time and coaches to guide the process. Finally, the third portion will
focus on the continued improvement of technology at the campus and the aspects of the
Campus Improvement Plan these factors are related to in the goals.
In the first session teachers will be provided an overview on the campus STaR chart data.
This will explain where the campus is rated in terms of technology and implementation.
Many of the teachers are unaware of the technology TEKS and the applications of these
standards in their curriculum. At this point in the professional development, teachers will
be asked for suggestions and evaluations of the campus needs in relation to the surveys,
STaR chart data, and Campus Improvement Plan.
In the second part of the plan, teachers will be provided specific training in small group
sessions to address individual needs for implementation. The sessions will pair teachers
with peers to guide them through the process and develop lessons collaboratively. The
campus will also offer training on technology tools such as blogs, wikis, and dropboxes
to use in the classroom. As teachers receive the training on the availalble web tools, they
will feel competant incorporating these into their lessons.
In the final portion of the plan, teachers will be given to opportunity to provide feedback
on how the training has impacted their classrooms and what areas are still in need of
improvement. Teachers will be asked to rate the needs of the campus and relate the needs
to the CIP goals. Through the direct application of technology and campus goals future
professional development should continue to meet the needs of the students at our
campus.
3. Summit Jaguar Technology Action Plan
Goal: To enhance the integration and effective implementation of technology effectively into
curriculum and instruction.
Based upon data analysis, the primary focus of the development will be the need for teachers to be
trained and have time to collaborate with other staff on how to incorporate technology into lessons.
