Describe how a variety of stakeholders from within the LEA and the
community-at-large participated in the planning process.
As the insider stakeholders within LEA the Principal, Vice principal, IT
Department and school`s computer teacher set up a meeting with community
stakeholders such as parents, instructional coaches, team leads, department
chairs, and teachers. On that meeting all of the participants share their ideas on
their new Technology Plan for that school year. Those meetings are arranged
regularly making sure the plan is updated periodically.
Summarize the relevant research and describe how it supports the plan's
curricular and professional development goals.
1. Summarize the plans major curricular and professional development
outcomes that are supported by research.
Various research studies have proven numerous times that one of the
main and most important outcomes of Technology Plan is the
improvement in students` educational growth.
2. Describe and cite the relevant research that supports the plans
outcomes.

3. Describe the connection between the research and the plans goals.
The research is done on a much broader scale than just one school
district, that`s why there are lots of connections between it and Technology
Plan`s goals. There are two the main ways the research and Tech-Plan
are similar: both are working towards making teachers` job easier, faster,
more productive, both are helping students progress their learning and
grow education wise.
4. Describe information gathered from site visits, including best practices.
School administrators do visit other schools to get some more ideas and
practices to better their own school. The ideas like getting a new Tech-Tool
in schools, or appropriate care for the Tech-tools already owned are added
to next year`s Technology Plan.
Describe goals and an implementation plan, with annual activities, for using
technology to improve teaching and learning. Describe how these goals align to
the LEA's curricular goals that are supported by other plans. Describe how the
LEA's budget (LCAP) supports these goals, and whether future funding
proposals or partnerships may be needed for successful implementation.
How will technology be used to create more powerful learning experiences
to improve student academic achievement?
For Science and Math classes once a week a Study Island quizzes will be
assigned. Students may work on in as homework at home or after school
in a computer lab.
Every teacher must use electronic devices while teaching lesson weather
it is simple as overhead projector or more advanced as tablets and
Kindles.
Computer Lab days must be reserved by all teachers at least twice in a
school year.
All stuff members must use their laptops for database, communication,
and even scheduling purposes.
In the beginning of the year all teachers and administrators of the school
have a mandatory professional development workshop, where they learn
about online safety and ethical use of internet resources.
All of the tablets, laptops, and desktop computer are equipped with the
latest safe search filtering and antivirus protection software.
How and when will teachers and/or librarians help students acquire Internet
safety skills?
The Plan must have a professional development strategy to ensure that staff
understands how to use these new technologies to improve education services
(Answer at least 2 questions for each subsection below)
Describe goals and an implementation plan, with annual activities, for providing
professional development opportunities based on your LEA needs assessment
data and the Curriculum Component of the plan.
What professional learning will be available so teachers and administrators
can make informed decisions using data to meet individual student
academic needs?
There are mandatory professional development programs and special workshops
arranged throughout the school year helping teachers in every aspect of their
lesson planning including technology use and proper software, applications, and
data examination implementation.
What professional learning will be available so teachers and administrators
plan?
Some of our hardware might be old but the software is always up to date. We
annually upgrade all of PC software, tablet applications, safe search and
antivirus protections.
MONITORING AND EVALUATION COMPONENT
The plan must include an evaluation process that enables the school to monitor
progress toward the specific goals and make mid-course corrections in response
to new developments and opportunities as they arise.
(Answer at least 2 questions for each subsection below)
Describe the process for evaluating the plan's overall progress and impact on
teaching and learning.
Who will participate in the monitoring and evaluation process?
It is school administrations duty to monitor and evaluate and provide feedback
on the process.
What criteria will be used to measure success (e.g., test scores, student
portfolios, percentage of students attaining grade-level content standards,
attendance, dropout rate, matriculation to college, or full-time
employment)?
Two of the main criteria used to measure success are repot cards and test scores. That
data is then compared to other schools to determine whether or not students have
reached and exceeded standards established by the district.
Describe the schedule for evaluating the effect of plan implementation, including
a description of the process and frequency of communicating evaluation results
to tech plan stakeholders.
How often will data be collected and summarized? Who is responsible?
It is the principals responsibility to collect summarized data at the end of every
school year. Relying on that data next year`s plan will be built.
How will technology success stories be documented and publicized?
Our technology success is our little victory, to documented we submit our scores
and data to our central office (school district), publicize it and deliver the news to
parents/guardians we share our good news on our website.
