Technology facilitators will also participate in these sessions in order to give ongoing support to administrators.Administrators will better learn the new software and technology communication resources available by the district in order to effectively utilize student information systems, finance systems, and campus administrative software.The district improvement plans have set the goal to increase the administrative use of technology to improve the accuracy, effectiveness, and efficiency of all administrative functions by giving administrators the tools necessary to make data-driven decisions.Administrators will be able to apply their increased knowledge with these software and technology tools in order to effectively use data to make well-informed decisions that benefit student achievement.Two 3 hour sessions will be provided throughout the school year for the campus leader and the campus technology facilitator. These will be district-wide staff development meetings intended for administrators hosted by district technology staff. Continued trainings will be offered in the future based on needs and any changes that might be implemented in the programs.Educators are provided information, training, and an avenue to access distance learning for students through videoconferences. Educators will become more confident and knowledgeable about videoconferencing opportunities so that they will implement videoconferencing activities to enhance student learning.The district improvement plans indicate that increasing the number of videoconference opportunities for all students, will enhance student learning by participating in interactive projects and field trips. Educators will use the knowledge gained about videoconferencing and apply their knowledge in implementing videoconferencing in lessons.One 3 hour session will be provided for all staff members. These will be district-wide staff development meetings hosted by district technology staff. The onsite technology facilitator and technology facilitator assistant will also provide Just-in-time support and training for staff members as well.Educators are provided training on MacBooks which are provided in each classroom.Educators become more confident in using the MacBooks in instruction. Teachers will also gain a multitude of ideas on how the MacBooks can contribute to student learning.The campus action plan explains that the school provides 21st century technology tools for teachers and administrators. After understanding how little teachers use the MacBooks in instruction, it is apparent how effective a staff development on MacBooks would be for teachers to implement in student learning. The district plans also call for an increase computer competency for all staff members. When teachers are more familiar with and educated on how to implement the MacBooks into instruction, they are more likely to use this form of technology to enhance instruction.Three 1 hour after school sessions within the school year. The sessions will begin with basic information on the MacBook and further onto ideas on how the MacBook can be used in the classroom to further student learning. The technology leader will lead these trainings, and the technology leader and assistant will provide ongoing support throughout the school year as well.Educators are provided training on Web 2.0 tools.Educators become more knowledgeable with Web 2.0 tools. They will see the benefits of these tools and use the knowledge gained through the trainings to implement in instruction.Since the district Technology Mission Statement explains that the current and emerging technologies should be utilized as tools for life-long learning, these Web 2.0 tools should be implemented through instruction. In order to do this, teachers must first be taught on how to implement these tools through instruction.Educators’ increase in knowledge regarding Web 2.0 tools will give them ideas and create more confidence to use these tools for instruction. These tools will prepare students for skills that they will need to be successful citizens in the 21st century.Three 1 hour after school sessions within the school year. Each session will focus on a specific Web 2.0 tool to be determined. Teachers will learn the basic skills of each Web 2.0 tool and ideas on how to implement these tools in instruction. The campus technology leader will teach this session and the technology leader and assistant will provide ongoing classroom support throughout the school year as well.Educators are provided training on how to use data from the assessment application, iStation, to further instruction.Educators will be able to better meet student needs through gathering data from iStation and effectively using that information to drive instruction.Our campus action plan addresses the goal of providing support and training for online assessment applications. By providing training on our assessment application, iStation, teachers will be able to create lessons which address student needs.Educators will be more informed about the iStation program and ways to effectively use it to enhance instruction.One 1 hour after school session during the school year. The session will focus on how to view data and use various resources from the program to drive instruction. The campus technology leader will lead this session and the technology leader and assistant will provide ongoing classroom support throughout the school year as well.<br />Professional Development ActivitiesAssessments and Monitoring Reports used to measure the effectiveness of technology to improve data collection and analysis or integration with instructionTimelineAdministrators learn software and technology communication resources available for a variety of data collection systems. Technology facilitators will also participate in these sessions in order to give ongoing support to administrators.Administrators who use the program will fill out a survey to report how effective the software and technology communication resources have been throughout the school year for data collection. This survey will indicate how effective the professional development offered was by understanding the confidence administrators have with the programs.
