Technology Integration into the Instructional Environment
District Goal #1: Improve Student Achievement
Campus Goal #1: Achieve an Exemplary Campus Rating
Strategy #3: Integrate technology into teaching and learning and student activities in all
areas.
Tactic #3: Evaluate technology needs and continually provide staff development
opportunities for all staff that emphasizes technology utilization in the classroom
Action Plan: To accomplish this goal a needs assessment was first done. The results of
the needs assessment were then used to develop a staff development opportunity to
address the areas in need to move toward accomplishment of the campus goal. The needs
assessment indicated that the newest technologies were not being incorporated into the
instructional environment by the majority of teachers.
Learning Objective: To increase the use of available technology in the classroom by
demonstrating how current users are incorporating the technology in all subject areas.
Professional Development Time Needed: 2 hours (including, setup/breaks/rotation)

These three technology demonstrations will be done by volunteer teachers
who have already seen the value of this technology in the instructional
environment and are using it on a regular basis. Teachers will sign up to
attend two of the three technologies offered and will rotate through. An
evaluation of the usefulness of the training will be done by each participant
at the end of the training.
During the annual PDAS, administrators will look specifically for the
documentation of the increased use of these three technologies in each
teacher’s lesson plans.
