The professional development plan aims to infuse appropriate technologies into the curriculum to strengthen student learning and achievement. It includes teacher training on new projectors, Inspiration software, Web 2.0 tools, and the student performance system. Teachers will also receive training on the curriculum management system to track student data. A key part of the plan is monthly "Techno Thursday" sessions for teachers to learn technologies to integrate into lessons, which administrators will monitor through lesson plans and observations. Student progress will be evaluated using assessments, surveys, and analysis of academic performance data.
