The North Forney High School administration, faculty, and staff created a technology action plan to improve student achievement in mathematics. The plan aims to (1) integrate technology like Mimio and clickers into math instruction, (2) provide ongoing staff training, and (3) use data to inform decisions about technology integration. Key activities include analyzing student performance data, collaborating to develop lessons, and evaluating staff development efforts. Progress will be monitored bi-weekly to document results and adapt the plan.
