My Technology Action Plan

Technology Link: Professional Development

Improvement Goal: Based on feedback and campus surveys we are still in great need for ongoing professional development to maximize appropriate use of technology to increase student achievement and teacher productivity.

Analysis: Based on feedback and on reports, such as the STaR Chart Summary for the past three years, our area of improvement is Teaching and Learning with a total score of 11 for two out of the three years.


Technology Staff Development Plan

Objective 2: Integrating technology/software in the classroom

Tasks/Action Steps
Educational Technology Campus Coordinator and the principal(s) will be evaluating and observing teachers using technology in the classroom.

Responsibilities
Educational Technology Campus Coordinator, Principal(s), teachers

Timeline
Ongoing

Evidence
The need to integrate technology knowledge and skills into the core subject areas.

Evaluation
Use low inference data from their observations counting the number of teachers integrating technology in their classrooms; also by reviewing the teacher’s lesson plans


Using the action plan above, we would collect data throughout the year and see the number of trainings being offered with the number of teachers attending these trainings to promote our ongoing professional development for technology. As my educational technology campus coordinator stated previously in a short interview, he is trying to look for a tool that assess teachers’ knowledge and skills in technology so that we can better assist our kids, if we are not informed, how can we inform others? Our Principal and campus technology coordinator have arranged a set of observations be made during the year to observe the use of technology in the classrooms. They will discuss their observations and share thoughts of improving technology to be used in the classroom.
