                                               addressing TEKS. Teach technology TEKS while
                                               facilitating learning and enabling the students to be
                                               flexible and explorative in learning
Principal’s Role: The principal will manage the budget and monitor the technology plan. They
will also align resources to improve student achievement. The principal will create responsive
environment to maximize teaching and learning, as well as community involvement



                     Professional Development Action Plan

After reviewing the STaR chart, AEIS report, Campus
Improvement Plan and District Technology Plan, the areas that I
feel we need to address are:

   •   Integration of technology into curriculum and lesson planning
   •   The utilization of technology tools that are available to teachers on campus
   •   Utilizing textbook adoption tools to enhance lessons in core content areas

Evaluation
To measure the success of my professional development plan, I will:

          • Interviews and surveys will determine student and staff
            knowledge and success with targeted objectives
          • Walk thrus will be used to assess application of learned skills
          • Observation and monitoring of teachers lesson plans for use
            of technology will occur monthly
          • The STaR chart will be an indicator of teacher’s use of
            technology
          • CIIC will meet twice a year to review plan and data to ensure
            that the plan is being implemented on the campus
