This document contains an organizational chart and action plan for Dallas ISD with a focus on technology. The organizational chart outlines the leadership structure with the Board of Trustees and Superintendent at the top, who are responsible for implementing technology initiatives. Below them are departments like Teaching and Learning that oversee curriculum and instruction incorporating technology. The action plan is for Dealey Montessori Academy and focuses on assessing technology needs, teaching online safety and copyright, helping teachers use online curriculum guides, and evaluating progress.

NOTE: This plan is based on my evaluation of the STaR chart information and Texas Long-
Range Plan form weeks 2 and week 3: According to our campus data I would select Online
Learning, TL6, because STaR Chart data shows that over 73% of campus staff are classified
Early Tech or Developing Tech. Most teachers are not using activities that incorporate web-
based activities. Campus teachers are familiar with online TEKS based resources and our
district’s Curriculum Plan Guides, CPG, that incorporate online learning activities; yet they are
not comfortable using them. Our campus does not support 24/7/365 access to online
opportunities or digital resources.”The Web certainly opens us up to all sorts of conversations
on a global scale. But this new Web also makes it much easier to tap into resources just down
the road as well” (Richardson, W. 2007). Our students are denied an abundance of expert
sources outside the walls of our campus. With the staff, I would like to examine the standards
and the curriculum guides to see what we can immediately implement in our instruction. Then
make a plan for the future with a timeline.
I began my plan with a needs assessment, which was stressed in our video week 3,
roundtable discussion. Ms. Crawford advised us to begin with assessment during this video
interview (roundtable discussion, March 7, 2011).
After reading about internet safety, bullying, and copyright laws I am going to add this
component to my action plan. According to Adelman H. (2004) a recent study showed that one
in five youths “received a sexual solicitation or approach in the past year” (p17). Teaching
children about online safety needs to begin as soon as possible. I teach about “Stranger
Danger’ to my prekindergarten and kindergarten classes; this seems no different. In addition,
administrators and teachers need to know copyright laws and fair usage rules. “For school and
district administrators, today, copyright should be front and center on the agenda.” (Davidson H.
2005, pS2). As educators we set the tone in our classrooms and we must role model
acceptable behaviors.
