This document provides instructions for a Week 4 assignment in an educational leadership course focusing on developing an action plan for integrating technology into instructional and organizational leadership. Students are asked to develop an organizational chart, professional development plan, and evaluation plan. They then post their full action plan to the discussion board and blog and review and comment on at least two other students' plans. The goal is for students to design procedures for using various data sources to make informed campus decisions regarding effective technology integration.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
Â
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Edld 5352 Week 4 Assignment[1]Dec
1. EDLD 5352 Instructional Leadership: The Technology Link
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 â 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 weekâs 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
adjustments to achieve the campus vision and goals, including the integration of
technology as described 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
designed 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.

Professional Development
By using the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology and by analyzing the STaR Chart
our campus will provide professional developments that will be designed to target the
areas of need. These should focus on internet safety, copyright laws, and the use of
different programs to enhance student learning. Programs such as living with Science,
Study Island, Exam View, among others will be constantly monitored and teachers will be
receiving ongoing assistance from the technology assistant to ensure that they know
how implement these into their lessons.
*Provide instruction on internet safety and copyright laws.
*Provide professional development in the use of living with science.
*Provide professional development in the use of Study Island
*Provide instruction on the use of Exam View, which will allow teachers to create
different types of assessments for students, using technology.
*Teachers will receive professional development on the use and updates of AVATAR and
Skyward at the beginning of the school year to ensure they are familiar with its functions
and know how to use them properly.

Week 4 Assignment, Part 3: Evaluation Planning for Action Plan
The technology action plan integrating instructional an organizational leadership must include
evaluation components that provide measurable outcomes designed to address the following:
⢠Uses data and other analysis from the Week 3 report, including using the campus and
district improvement plans, and local or state technology plans;
⢠Provides assessments and/or monitoring reports measuring professional development
designed to use technology to improve the gathering, analysis and use of data from a
variety of sources;
⢠Provides assessments and/or monitoring evaluating professional development to improve
decision making in the integration of technology with instructional and organizational
leadership.
By using the data gathered during week 3 from my campus and district
improvement plans I realized that we need an action plan that focuses specifically
on technology and its implementation. Mr. Rolando Perez (assistant principal)
said âWe must have a leader that is involved in the latest technology innovations
and who is ready to bring these back to school and implement themâ. âIt is
necessary that our teachers help us learn from technology instead of restricting
the use of it in schoolâ. (Student #1) My action plan will focus on the
enhancement of student learning and to prepare students to be technology ready
for today, tomorrow, and the future. This will be accomplished by exposing our
staff, teachers and students to all the latest technology, providing the
professional developments necessary to train our teachers and ongoing
assistance to ensure that this technology is implemented in the classroom. Mrs.
Adams will be in charge of having a line of mentors and mentees for the
implementation of technology in student projects and other activities. The
principal will design a set of questions that will be given to the staff at the
beginning, the middle, and the end of the year along with the STaR Chart to
assess the use of technology in the campus, and the professional developments,
and this way target the areas of need immediately. Mr. Perez will also evaluate
teachers in the use of technology using PDAS. A computer based survey will be
given to the students to analyze how they feel towards technology in the
classroom and in school. The principal will also be in charge of working with the
personnel from the district office to ensure that the campus has enough
hardware, and assistance from the technology coordinator.

Week 4 Assignment, Part 4: Posting your Action Report and Responding to Other
Studentsâ action plans
Using the discussion board and the blog that you have developed, please write and post
your action plan, and be sure to:
⢠Read and review at least two other action plans
⢠Respond to other action plans by posting your comments and reflections
The purpose of the action report is to provide you with recommended procedures for
gathering, analyzing, and using data from a variety of sources for informed campus decision
making focusing on the effective integration of technology in curriculum, instruction,
assessment and professional development. Students may wish to use this action plan as
one of your school improvement projects for your Electronic Portfolio. You may also use the
Week 3 and Week 4 assignments as campus supervised hours for your internship logs. As
indicated these two weeks fall under Domain II, Instructional Leadership, and address
elements of Competencies 4, 5 and 7.
