Organizational Chart and Technology Plan

EDLD 5352 Instructional Leadership: The Technology Link March 17, 2011
SP211 - EA1199 Sonia Crockett

Week 4 Assignment: Due at the end of Week 4.
Overview
Last week, you engaged in an analysis and wrote a report describing the use of technology and
information systems to enrich campus curriculum, enhance teaching and learning, and generally
integrate technology into our campus improvement plans to effectively integrate technology and
instructional leadership. Your analysis and report should provide the necessary background for
the Week 4 major assignment – developing an action plan for gathering, analyzing, and using
data from a variety of sources for informed campus decision making focusing on integrating
technology, instructional leadership, professional development and organizational leadership.
As a result of this week’s assignments, you will be able to:
·Examine and assess procedures for gathering, analyzing, and using data from a variety of
sources for informed decision making regarding the integration of technology, instructional
and organizational leadership (SBEC Principal Competency 7 indicator);
·Design and apply skills for monitoring and evaluating change and making needed adjust-
ments to achieve the campus vision and goals, including the integration of technology as de-
scribed above (SBEC Principal Competency 7 indicator).
Both of these outcomes are elements of Domain II, Instructional Leadership.
In writing your Week 4 action plan, use your interviews, your readings, including campus and
district improvement plans as well as any technology plans, and your Week 3 report to make
sure the action plan:
·Identifies data gathering sources;
·Provides a description of an organizational chart describing decision making responsibilities
regarding the integration of technology from central office personnel to campus leadership
and staff;
·Describes comprehensive professional development activities to achieve your action plan
(this may utilize information from the previous three weeks of readings and activities);
·Includes an evaluation plan to assess the progress and success of the action plan.
Students will be asked to post their action plan on the Discussion Board and each student must
review and comment on at least one other action plan focusing on organizational leadership de-
signed to maximize the use of technology in data gathering and decision making.
Submit your assignment by 11:59 PM on the seventh day of Week 4.

The following four parts to the Week 4 assignments should help you complete an action
plan that incorporates all four elements of the assignment, including posting your action
plan and commenting and reflecting on the action plans shared by fellow students.



Week 4 Assignment, Part 1: Development of an organization chart integrating
technology
Using the campus and district improvement plans, and any suggested technology improve-
ments, develop an organization chart that includes the following:

·Identify by title or job description all personnel/stakeholders responsible for integrating tech-
nology and instructional and organization leadership from the district office to the campus
and classroom;
·Provide a brief description of the role and responsibilities of all identified personnel in your
organizational chart;
·Discuss the role of the principal in making sure the organizational chart is implemented and
monitored.

Carolee Booker’s greatest strength on the STaR Chart data was in Key Area IV: Infrastructure

for Technology. We consistently achieved a Target Tech classification in this area. Both learners

and educators are provided with on-demand access across the campus in such areas as,

classrooms, the library, and computer labs. However, I would like to develop our weakest rating,

Key Area II: Educator Preparation and Development, by utilizing data from the Texas Campus

STaR Chart and district to encourage vertical alignment when implementing the Technology

Applications TEKS and the use of on-demand online resources.

The campus administrative team has set the expectation for all educators to utilize technolo-

gy in both teaching and learning. As a campus, we have moved from using technology solely for

administrative tasks and classroom management. We are now better integrating technology into

teaching and learning. I would like to encourage this growth through a variety of technology pro-

fessional development sessions in order to be better equip our teachers to educate our 21st centu-

ry learners. I utilized the Spring ISD Technology Plan, Booker Elementary Campus Improve-

ment Plan, and STaR Chart data to create professional developments to train individuals on the

value and integration of technology.
