Technology Action Plan

My action plan is presented in the form of the PowerPoint: Wright Technology Use (see below). A summary follows:
Step 1: At the beginning of the school year, it is imperative to review data from reports such as the AEIS, AYP, and STaR Chart. This data drives instruction by focusing on strengths and weaknesses and specific groups of students. It allows us to see our progress and it compares scores from year to year as well as how we stand in the district.
Step 2: More data is analyzed through the campus database D2SC. Teachers would be trained or refreshed on the database input and reports. This information is useful for each classroom as it allows the teacher to see how individual students are doing on such assessments as six weeks tests and benchmark testing.
Step 3: Students create their own system for charting progress. Grades 3-5 would be required to create an excel spreadsheet listing major tests and scores. Teachers help with input and monitor. Goals and plans of action are set and/or revised.
Step 4: As the year gets underway, all teachers must include technology training in their schedules. By December, they should have completed both campus and district requirements. Incentives would be offered for additional training and implementation of technology in the classroom. Tech liaisons and the tech specialist would help monitor.
Step 5: Assessments in the use of technology would be reviewed: teachers' use of data, teachers' and students' use of technology as set by implementation goals. Revisions and new goals set.
Step 6: The technology vision would be reviewed and revisited frequently. Incentives offered.
Step 7: Ensure cyber etiquette and safety is understood and practiced. Revisit at staff meetings.
Step 8: Review TEA's website for elementary technology applications. Revisit at professional developments and/or staff meetings.
