Technology Action Plan
Goals
My Action Plan is Two Fold.
Part One focuses on individual school needs;
Part Two involves accountability district-wide.
Goal #1: Determine what one technology aspect at each campus that needs to be addressed through continuous improvement.
Staff development (1/2 day):
Evaluation of current system: following through the entire PDAS using the Continuous Improvement Institute Toolbox that has been implemented throughout the district for improvement in other areas. I would also have each campus’ Technology Facilitator present and leading the session. The outline for the day would look something like this:
Present StaR Chart information to teachers, present AEIS data, present LISD Technology 2020 Plan to teachers as well; then, present campus teachers with the extra survey data from the survey they fill out each year for Grant.
Use a Plus/Delta Chart to note positive and negative things about current technology use in the classroom.
Use Imagine Perfect to determine what teachers consider the perfect senerio for technology intergration in their classroom.
Determine top Drivers and Preventers to implementing technology in the classroom.
Use Hot Dot or NGT to determine top 10 items that are on the Delta Chart – things that need to be addressed.
Use a Force Field Analysis to determine what one item can truly impact the most areas of technology in the classroom, as well as what one item we can focus on improving currently. *this one area could take an hour as it is usually involved.
Action Plan and Plan for Evaluation: I would then have the teachers, administrators, and the Technology Facilitator come up with a plan for improving this one specific item. I would also charge each campus with determining the time frame for the implementation as well as how to determine its effectiveness.
Ongoing Feedback, Evaluation, and Reports: Have each Facilitator give a report as to what each campus determines that they need to improve on to our Superintendents and School Board. I would have the Facilitators show the PDAS that they worked through with each faculty, and how they came to their decisions. (PDAS is about the process more than anything after all.) I would then have regular updates on the "A" portions (at least once every other week). Of course, the final piece of the puzzle would be an additional day during the summer to determine if the plan for the campus was successful, with a report to the Superintendents and Board Members.
Goal #2: Increase knowledge and use of Technology TEKS in the classroom
Staff development (1 hour session): Have Technology Facilitator for each Pod communicate the grade level TEKS (even if they are embedded in the current curriculum).
Evaluation of current system: Give a survey before school begins (a survey if you will).
Action Plan and Plan for Ongoing Evaluation:
Have Technology Facilitators for each Pod in the district give a lesson to the teachers on what the Technology TEKS are and how to communicate those to their students.
Have Technology Facilitators work with teachers in cooperative lessons to ensure that the TEKS are being met at each grade level.
Have an online form (perhaps on the L-Net for the district) where teachers continually log on as periodically check off the items that have been covered for their grade level (Technology TEKS). This way, any Technology Facilitator can go online to see where their teachers are in teaching those TEKS to the students in their Pod. *This is an ongoing assessment.
Have the Technology Facilitators meet with Educational Teams periodically to check their status of the online forms and address any issues at that time.
After each 9 week grading period for Elementary and each 6 week grading period for Secondary, I would have a report be given to the teachers, Principals, Superintendents, and School Board. This way, everyone is on the same page in knowing which TEKS have been covered and which TEKS have not at each grade level, campus, and Pod.
