Technology Action Plan and Evaluation

Integrating Technology Action Plan

Goal: Teachers will integrate technology TEKS across the curriculum.
Personnel/Stakeholders responsible:	Action/Steps:	Resources Needed:	Role of Principal:
Amy Copeland- Technology Facilitator Danielle Grimes- Instructional Coach Teachers Administrators	1. Teachers will be shown and trained on the technology TEKS for their grade level. 2. Teachers will get refresher training on technology available for teachers to use in the classroom. 3. Teachers will be trained on any new technology.	1. Laptops with internet access 2. Guidelines on how to use the technology being discussed	Be there for support and to learn how to use the technology and know what is available for teachers.
Teachers Administrators Danielle Grimes-Instructional Coach	1. Teachers will break up into PLCs (subject they plan). 2. In their PLC, teachers will collaborate how they can integrate technology they just learned into their subject TEKS. 3. Teachers will come up with an outline of what technology they will integrate into their TEKS.	1. Technology TEKS for each grade level. 2. Laptops with internet access 3. Scope and sequence year outline 4. TEKS for each grade level for their subject. 5. Guidelines on how to use the technology available.	Keep everyone on topic and encourage communication by asking questions.
Teachers Administrators	1. Teachers will meet back with their grade level teams. 2. Teachers will share their plans to integrate technology and collaborate with their team. 3. Teachers will make any changes to their outline.	1. Laptops with internet access 2. Technology outlines	Keep everyone on topic and encourage communication by asking questions.
Teachers Administrators	1. Teachers will put their outline of technology into Forethought (online lesson plan). 2. Teachers will use this time to put the plans into Forethought where they fit in with the scope and sequence.	1. Laptops with internet access 2. Technology outlines 3. Forethought	Keep everyone on topic and encourage communication by asking questions. Administrators should also watch and be aware of what teachers are putting in Forethought.

Professional Development Action Plan

Goal: Friendship will form a Technology PLC that will analyze data and present it to the staff. They will also be a support system for teachers that need help in implementing technology.
Personnel/Stakeholders responsible:	Action/Steps:	Resources Needed:	Role of Principal:
Administrator	1. Administrators will go into classrooms and look into teachers’ lesson plans looking for teachers that implement technology on a regular basis. The administrator could also send out a survey to teachers to find out about how they implement technology. 2. Administrator will ask a few teachers to be on the Technology PLC (will consist of 3-4 teachers and administrator).	1. Laptop with internet access 2. Survey over implementing technology.	They will observe teachers and form a technology PLC.
Technology PLC	1. The technology PLC will study the Improvement plans, the Long-term Plan for Technology, and Campus & Texas STaR Chart Results. 2. As a PLC, they will design a presentation of the results studied from above resources to present to the staff.	Friendship Campus Improvement Plan Long-term Plan for Technology, 2006-2020 Campus STaR Chart Results Texas STaR Chart Results	Work collaboratively with the PLC and provide resources need for the research.
Technology PLC All Teachers at Friendship Elementary	1. The PLC will present the information they collected. 2. Then the whole staff will brainstorm ideas of what they need according to the survey results using an Affinity Diagram.	1. Presentation of Data Results 2. Chart paper 3. Post-its	Help in the presentation and be there to give explanations or just support.
Technology PLC	1. As a PLC, they will group the post-its in categories or themes that consolidate the information. 2. Use this information to decide on future Professional Development opportunities in technology.	1. Affinity Diagram 2. Chart paper 3. Professional Development outline	Help in consolidating information on the affinity diagram and providing information on possible Professional Development opportunities and provide the budget allotted for it.
Technology PLC Danielle Grimes- Instructional Coach	1. The PLC will present technology Professional Development each semester. 2. The PLC will come into classrooms, if needed, to demonstrating how to implement certain technologies.	1. Presentation materials 2. Materials for implementing technology	Help in presenting each semester, hold teachers accountable for using technology in their classrooms, and be knowledgeable on the technology applications being used or expected for the teachers to use.

Evaluation Planning

It is very important to have an evaluation piece after each professional development session. It helps keep teachers accountable for the information and lets them know that there will be a follow-up to it. The evaluation that will go into effect for the implementing technology and professional development action plans will be the following:

1. Administrators will let teachers know that they will be checking lesson plans and will be looking for technology implemented across all subjects.
2. Administrators need to check lesson plans on a regular basis and conference with teachers that are not implementing technology.
3. Administrators will be conducting walk-throughs and looking for technology in classrooms. They may also give ideas or feedback on the technology being used.
4. Administrators and staff can use the STaR Chart results, the Long-Term Plan for Technology, the Campus Improvement Plan, and the District Improvement Plan to help understand what we need to improve on as a school or district.
5. The Technology PLC needs to send out regular surveys asking what teachers need in upcoming professional development sessions; help in the classrooms like having someone model a lesson, and resources they need.
6. The Technology PLC can set up a blog that they can post ideas, thoughts, concerns, or answers for the other staff to have access to and to comment on. It can be an instant communication tool for teachers.
