                                                     and departments to integrate technology
                                                     into lessons.
      Teacher Leaders                                Work with departments to improve
                                                     instruction and integrate technology
      Teachers                                       Work with students to improve academic
                                                     achievement. Integrate technology as
                                                     appropriate into lessons and activities to
                                                     improve instruction.

      The integration of technology into instruction takes coordination of several divisions at
      the Central Office level, but without a strong instructional leader on the campus full
      integration of technology into instruction will not be achieved. The Principal has to
      determine the needs of the campus, budget for purchases and staff development
      training on those purchases, oversee the trainings and coaching provided by the
      Academic Coach and CIT, and monitor classroom instruction and programs. The
      Academic Coordinator assists the Principal in the day to day planning of trainings and
      the work of the Coaches and CIT. The Principal sets the tone for the school. By
      providing a model and demonstrating the importance of technology they let staff know
      that technology use and integration is a priority issue. The Principal works with the
      Superintendent of Technology to improve infrastructure and equipment. They work with
      the Superintendent of Teaching and Learning to determine programs and materials that
      integrate technology into instruction. And they work with the Department of Business and
      Finance to be able to fund purchases to support instructional technology needs.

Part 2 Professional Development Planning

      As part of the district technology initiative, all classroom teachers are working on Level 2
      of the Technology Proficiency Program. This program is aligned to National Educator
      Technology Standards (NETS). Level 2 focuses on increasing technology proficiency in
      six areas: Technology Operations and Concepts; Planning and Designing Learning
      Environments and Experiences; Teaching, Learning and the Curriculum; Assessment
      and Evaluation; Productivity and Professional Practice; and Social, Ethical, Legal and
      Human Issues. From findings in the Week 3 report, teachers also need opportunities to
      collaborate and develop lessons that integrate technology and provide students
      opportunities to learn and utilize the Technology Application TEKS. Training needs to
      move from once a week group trainings to a combination of weekly trainings for specific
      needs identified by Central Office and Campus Administration, just in time differentiated
      training for individual teachers, and on line 24/7 access to trainings. Incorporating a
      variety of training designs will meet the needs of more teachers as they work toward
      more student centered technology integration. Formal trainings are planned and
      delivered by the Campus Instructional Technologist (CIT). Just in time training is
      facilitated by the CIT and department Technology Leaders. The CIT will also design on
      line trainings that address frequently asked questions, technology productivity tools and
      student databases.

      Professional Development
      Goal #1: Assist teachers in developing lessons that seamlessly integrate technology
      and level 2 proficiencies.
      Objective: Guide teams in developing 5 technology goals for the six weeks based on
      the TA TEKS and Level 2 Proficiencies.

       Proficiencies, AWARE,
       Forethought and GradeSpeed.

Part 3: Evaluation Planning for Action Plan

       One evaluation method that will be used is to have the teachers complete a pre and post
       self-evaluation rubric on the skills and competencies in the Level 2 Technology
       Proficiencies. Teachers should demonstrate an increase in the number of proficiencies
       they can demonstrate and are confident in incorporating in the classroom. Results from
       the Teacher STaR chart will also be analyzed to determine what areas have grown and
       if any areas have advanced to the next level as a result of the professional development
       action plan. Reports from Forethought will be analyzed to determine what types of
       technology are being incorporated into lessons. This data will help determine if additional
       hardware needs to be purchased for the campus and what software resources are being
       utilized. Data from the AEIS report will also be analyzed along with data reports from
       AWARE to determine if increases in overall data and in specific content objectives have
       been obtained. Data from these sources will also be used to determine if technology
       goals in the Campus Improvement Plan have been met.

  • 3. Lisa Bolte 15021075 EA1113 Dec. 11, 2009 and departments to integrate technology into lessons. Teacher Leaders Work with departments to improve instruction and integrate technology Teachers Work with students to improve academic achievement. Integrate technology as appropriate into lessons and activities to improve instruction. The integration of technology into instruction takes coordination of several divisions at the Central Office level, but without a strong instructional leader on the campus full integration of technology into instruction will not be achieved. The Principal has to determine the needs of the campus, budget for purchases and staff development training on those purchases, oversee the trainings and coaching provided by the Academic Coach and CIT, and monitor classroom instruction and programs. The Academic Coordinator assists the Principal in the day to day planning of trainings and the work of the Coaches and CIT. The Principal sets the tone for the school. By providing a model and demonstrating the importance of technology they let staff know that technology use and integration is a priority issue. The Principal works with the Superintendent of Technology to improve infrastructure and equipment. They work with the Superintendent of Teaching and Learning to determine programs and materials that integrate technology into instruction. And they work with the Department of Business and Finance to be able to fund purchases to support instructional technology needs. Part 2 Professional Development Planning As part of the district technology initiative, all classroom teachers are working on Level 2 of the Technology Proficiency Program. This program is aligned to National Educator Technology Standards (NETS). Level 2 focuses on increasing technology proficiency in six areas: Technology Operations and Concepts; Planning and Designing Learning Environments and Experiences; Teaching, Learning and the Curriculum; Assessment and Evaluation; Productivity and Professional Practice; and Social, Ethical, Legal and Human Issues. From findings in the Week 3 report, teachers also need opportunities to collaborate and develop lessons that integrate technology and provide students opportunities to learn and utilize the Technology Application TEKS. Training needs to move from once a week group trainings to a combination of weekly trainings for specific needs identified by Central Office and Campus Administration, just in time differentiated training for individual teachers, and on line 24/7 access to trainings. Incorporating a variety of training designs will meet the needs of more teachers as they work toward more student centered technology integration. Formal trainings are planned and delivered by the Campus Instructional Technologist (CIT). Just in time training is facilitated by the CIT and department Technology Leaders. The CIT will also design on line trainings that address frequently asked questions, technology productivity tools and student databases. Professional Development Goal #1: Assist teachers in developing lessons that seamlessly integrate technology and level 2 proficiencies. Objective: Guide teams in developing 5 technology goals for the six weeks based on the TA TEKS and Level 2 Proficiencies.

Part 3: Evaluation Planning for Action Plan One evaluation method that will be used is to have the teachers complete a pre and post self-evaluation rubric on the skills and competencies in the Level 2 Technology Proficiencies. Teachers should demonstrate an increase in the number of proficiencies they can demonstrate and are confident in incorporating in the classroom. Results from the Teacher STaR chart will also be analyzed to determine what areas have grown and if any areas have advanced to the next level as a result of the professional development action plan. Reports from Forethought will be analyzed to determine what types of technology are being incorporated into lessons. This data will help determine if additional hardware needs to be purchased for the campus and what software resources are being utilized. Data from the AEIS report will also be analyzed along with data reports from AWARE to determine if increases in overall data and in specific content objectives have been obtained. Data from these sources will also be used to determine if technology goals in the Campus Improvement Plan have been met.
