Action Plan
Goal: By 2012, Paso Del Norte will increase TAKS scores in all core subjects but with a focus especially on Technology to meet Exemplary status.
Objective: June 2011, the percentage of students meeting state standards in technology to increase to Advanced Technology Trend in all technology areas.
Target Group(s): All stakeholders of the campus
Leadership and Roles:
Superintendent will assist the Director of Technology, Administrators, and Campus technology pilots in implementing and organizing all the necessary technology tools to achieve the Texas Long Range Technology Plan.
Director of Technology will assist the Administrators, Campus technology pilots, Curriculum Specialist, and Campus mentors to implement the necessary technology resources on the campuses. The director will assist in planning professional development trainings associated with technology to implement at the campus levels.
Administrator will assist the campus technology pilots, technology teachers, campus tutors, and counselors in implementing technology in all subject areas. The administrator will assist and evaluate the integration of technology into the curriculum through weekly lesson plans.
Campus technology pilots will collaboratively work with the campus teachers in implementing technology into the weekly lesson plans. Campus teachers will develop weekly lesson plans where technology is implemented into their content area.
Curriculum Specialist will assist with campus administrator and teachers to integrate professional development trainings on new software and technology tools that will be implemented on the campus.
Campus Mentors will assist teachers in the integration of new computer-based activities and technology enriched curriculum for weekly implementation in the classroom.
Campus Teachers will assist the technology pilots to integrate the technology standards, objectives, and TEKS into the weekly lesson plans. They will evaluate and assess the progress of its effectiveness.
Professional Development Planning:
The Star chart showed an area of weakness for my campus in the Educator preparation and Development. The technology trend showed that we scored 12 points in the 06’-07’ school year, and then that score decreased to 11 points the following year. The school was still considered to be Advanced but the school decreased in points instead of increased and that is a negative progress. Therefore, a plan must be set up to establish for the understanding, implementation, evaluation, and assessment of the campus technology programs by all stakeholders. The Campus Technology pilot, Administrators, Campus mentors, and Teachers will be trained on proper implementation of all technology programs so they can utilize them in the classroom and computer labs.
• Meetings will be scheduled to give information and requirements that will be implemented into the classrooms by campus teachers in technology applications and tools.
• Professional development trainings will be scheduled to train campus teachers in proper implementation of technology standards, objectives, and TEKS in their weekly lesson plans and classroom instruction.
• Proper evaluation sessions dates will be arranged to show that the technology resources are being implemented and proper used. These evaluation sessions will determine positive or negative progress in the area of technology implementation.
Evaluation:
The evaluation process should include the Star Chart data analysis for the campus. The progress of the school should be examined and determined to see if the campus is making progress toward mastery in technology. The progress made in the Star Chart will determine part of the direction the Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) takes. If the progress is negative then a change of direction for the CIP will have to be addressed. Moreover, Walk-thru and observations with positive feedback will be facilitated; Learning Community teams will collaboration once a week, review department lesson plans for differentiated Technology lessons and instruction at least every 3 weeks. Administrators will be responsible for the walkthroughs and observations with positive feedback. Administrators will document their walkthroughs. This section in the comments area will be used for constructive criticism. The timeline for these walkthroughs will be once every 3 weeks. Lesson plans will be created within the respective departments and a follow up on the various technology resources. Using these technology resources, teachers within the departments will share any successes or help with any circumstances that might help teachers become successful with classroom instruction and curriculum. Through this evaluation throughout the year we will be able to assess the progress of the Star Chart, AEIS, AYP, and the Texas Long Range Technology Plan.
