This document outlines a plan to improve technology integration and support at Little Cypress Elementary School. It recommends regular technology training for teachers, incorporating technology into lessons, and ensuring technology is available to all students. An analysis of the school's STaR Chart data shows its infrastructure and teaching/learning are at the state level, but administration/support is above state level yet below target. The plan proposes professional learning communities, continued teacher education, and grant writing to further improve technology and prepare students for the 21st century.
