A committee, which consists of the administrators, campus technologists, instructional coaches, and all grade level teachers will meet at least twice during the school year to evaluate and make determination on the progress of technology integration. This evaluation will also look at how well and how often technology is being used at the campus levels. The committee will make recommendations of updates needed to the technology Plan.
The evaluation process will include the following assessments:
Informal interviews of staff from the campuses will be conducted. The SBDM committee will use these in order to make plans for the future. These plans would include suggestions and/or concerns by the staff. Campus Technologists will monitor and report on progress and needs of each campus. They will also report on the ability of teachers to use technology in classrooms.
Campus administrators will provide lesson plans, student projects, teacher interviews,
and parental report that show that the classroom teacher is using technology in the
classroom.
Administrators to determine technology will monitor all staff through walk-through evaluations and professional development training is being implemented into the daily curriculum of all subject areas. According to the Week 3 Interview, 2009, Dr. Abernathy states that we need to push our teachers to be creative and innovative in creating lessons using technology. When observing teachers and using the appraisal system, this can be assessed and noted.
All staff to assist administrators in determining the professional development needs of each campus so that achievement will be positively impacted will complete the STaR Chart.
According to Week 3 Video, 2009, it is important to survey the students to see how they use technology at home. I think that a survey each semester would help teachers create lessons that are appropriate to their student’s technology levels.
