                                             Teacher: Plans and delivers lessons
                                            integrating technology.
Implementation of the professional development will be based on the technology needs
identified in the week 3 assignment and last year’s campus improvement plan. The first part of
the development is the assessment of technology use on campus. This is imperative to the
analysis of the needs of the campus and moving forward with the plan. The second part is to
help teacher’s use technology in the classroom more effectively and efficiently. The third part
includes the future direction of technology at Summit High School and its relation to the campus
improvement plan.



The first professional development should be a session or meeting that allows the teachers to
see and analyze an overview of Summit High Schools Texas STaR chart data. This will allow
the faculty to see as a whole where the campus stands in its’ needs as a campus. During this
professional development session it would be good to familiarize teachers with the technology
TEKS and how these standards need to be addressed in the classrooms. To finish this
sesssion it would be beneficial to allow teachers to make suggestions towards future goals and
professional development opportunities as it relates towards the STaR chart data and the
standards.

The second part of the professional development plan is to provide appropriate training to
teachers and faculty in the implementation and proper use of the technology in the classroom.
The session must be informative to all levels of teachers as well as specific enough for each
discipline to learn how to implement it in the classroom. The sessions could be split to address
each level of competency, based on their personal STaR chart data, and each discipline to
make the training more effectively. In addition to this training, an introduction into the proper
use of Web 2.0 tools such as blogs and networking sites to better enhance the classroom
experience. The key for this is not only how to implement and use them, but also to make sure
that teachers know the proper way to use them so no innappropriate communication takes
place.

The third part of the professional development will include an opportunity for faculty and staff to
provide feedback to administration on the future direction of professional development and
technology training. The staff will be given a survey, through surveymonkey or another survey
website, that will allow teachers to rate the professional development opportunities so far and
give voice to where they fell future sessions should be focused.
Summit High School Technology Action Plan
Goal: To improve the implementation and effective use of all technology used by faculty
and staff in the classroom.

Based on observations from the various technology plans reviewed, teachers need to not
only be trained in the use of technology, but also given time to collaborate with other staff
on how to incorporate its use into their lessons.
