Educator preparation and Development has an ongoing process to educate the professional educator. It must provide the knowledge and skills for technology that the educator needs to educate their classroom students. It is dependent on the educator to take time to increase their own level of knowledge. ” Technology can impact curriculum and instruction, but for this to occur, teachers need to learn to incorporate technology appropriately to support the curriculum and bring about learning opportunities that would not be possible without the technology.”
In my campus there is a gradual move toward being a Developing Technology school. Over the past three school years we had a steady rating. The definition of a Developing Technology is the following: Use of technology is for administrative tasks and classroom management. There is use of online resources. 40% of educators meet SBEC standards. Administrators expect
teachers to use technology. 6-24% of technology budget allocated for professional development. Therefore, my campus must make it a priority to move ahead toward the Target Technology that the state requires. The Target technology is: There are regular technology-supported learner-centered projects. There is vertical alignment of Technology Applications TEKS and anytime, anywhere use of online resources. Administrators ensure integration of appropriate technology. 100% of educators meet SBEC standards. 30% or more of budget allocated for professional development. To meet this goal my campus must strive and be willing to develop themselves as educators. The administration must support our desire to enhance our knowledge of technology through professional development and the necessary resources needed to achieve this goal. This has to be the goal in my campus and we need to strive towards this goal.
