All professional development is ongoing and essential to the implementation of technology integrated curriculum in the classroom. At all times the SBDM committee and the parents and community will be involved in technology ideas, changes in policy, and budgetary issues revolving around technology implementation. Students and teachers will be reached through surveys, open forums, blogging, parent online surveys, and project tomorrow outcomes. In order to facilitate and implement a 24/7 anytime anywhere approach that teachers can find solutions to problems, the school and district will ensure that MUNIS, blackboard, district blogging, and goggling is open to questions and immediate feedback.
Teachers will have the opportunity to collaborate with novice and veteran teachers where the teacher modeling will reciprocate and new teachers will model technology lessons and work closely with tenured teachers on innovative technology instruction. It is important that we move away from this “sit and get” Professional development, according to Cindy Cummings. This professional development will be measured through comprehensive surveys, PDAS, STaR Chart, and walk-throughs by administrative staff and coordinators.
Based on interviews with teachers, students and, administrators last week, our student are digitally in tune with current trends and are extremely technology savy and find that our teaching styles are behind their learning abilities. Both our campus and district technology plans indicate that teachers should implement a variety of instructional technology tools on a regular basis. Part of the coordinators and teacher’s roles are to integrate materials and activities to use in the classroom. This will require Professional development that includes district specialist in each content area such as Science, Math, and Social Studies to help guide and implement technology linked curriculum for teachers.
The interviews conducted in week 3 of the course provided insight to the importance of integration. Cindy Cummings stated that mobility has the largest impact on technology. She stated that we no longer should be at the point of saying we have adequate technology when it is in computer labs but rather the accessibility needs to be in the classrooms all the time. This is when administration needs to find creative ways to use money for technology, according to Dr. Kay Abernathy. She also stated that we must become digital citizens and not digital immigrants and this includes moving away from “sit and get” professional development. This includes a strong focus on looking at our policies that are most likely based on the old way of looking at technology. We need to look at day to day operations and the possibilities with goggling, texting, and blogging in the classroom (Abernathy etal, Part 1, 2, 3 &4).
The above plan includes in column five the assessment process. This will be ongoing and re-evaluated mid-year and end-of-year. Just as Campus Improvement Plans are a three year work in process this plan is directly correlated with the Middle school improvement plan and district improvement plan and will adjust on a continuum consistant with the 21st century learner, new TEKS objectives, and the new Texas STAAR expectations.
