9. Conclusion Continue to be developing in 3 out of the 4 areas. Need to concentrate on increasing use of technology in our teaching. Add more computers to each classroom to lower the number of students to a computer. Continue to use professional development to increase teacher knowledge & provide more support for use in the classroom.
