Role of the Principal in making sure Organizational Chart is followed- The role of an administrator is to understand the capabilities and limitations of the technology at their school and around them. It is only then that they can budget money for technology needed, professional development needed, and replacement of technology best suited for the campuses needs. They must hire a good Campus Technolgy Specialist for their school in order so that he/she can report back to them what is and is not working with regards to technolgy on campus. The principal must make sure that the Districts Technology plan is followed so that goals and objectives can be implemented into the Campus improvement plan. The STaR chart is also a great way that a principal can find out in what areas his/her Students and Teachers can and must improve on. If all above data is not used and or implemented there will be failure among ALL on campus with regards to technology.
Professional Development Plan for Integrating Technology:
Staff development should be focused on teaching the existing curriculum with technology. Because of this curriculum and instruction will continue to build because of the use of this technology. This technology will be used to collect data and to analyze it to best serve each student's individual needs. All Classrooms should have connectivity for laptops, interactive white boards, classroom performance systems, document cameras, and more.
Reference analysis and lessons learned about the technology needs report from week 3:
After reviewing both technology plans, I think our District has a great outlook on what is needed for our students with regards to technology. As stated at the round table interview with Dr. Abernathy, Dr. Jenkins and Cindy Cummings, our District GCCISD has the following in their plan that was mentioned in their discussion:
1. They have been using the StaR Chart to find out the needs of teachers, although as
A teacher, I think our Campus can do a better job in letting teachers know what
EXACTLY we use the Star Chart for.
2. Our district is working towards Curriculum and Campus Improvement for
Technological integration. Using technology some may think of as the enemy but I
think our District realizes, as do Dr. Abernathy, Dr. Jenkins and Cindy Cummings,
that we need to embrace the technology our students already possess and use it for
good. This takes all working with stakeholders to get policy changed to allow cell
phones and other tools thought of as taboo to be utilized in the classroom.
3. In our Districts technology plan, they made reference to providing “Staff
Development sessions on Digital Citizenship and validation of Internet resources
have been added”,
which, as Dr. Abernathy, Dr. Jenkins and Cindy Cummings pointed out, is something
our Administrators must lead the way in. Hopefully in these development sessions
they will utilize Project Tomorrow, which gives input as to what is happening
technology -wise across our nation.
Professional Development designed to improve the gathering, analysis and use of data from a variety of sources:
Staff Development session on how to enter benchmark assessments and CBA's for all students that are in the SchoolNet system that way it is accessible to ALL Teachers/Personnel that need to know on campus.
Have a Staff Development session on the significance of STaR chart and the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology.
Staff Development session on how to benefit from the use of TEA’s AEIS data reports.
Professional Development to improve decision making in the integration of technology:
Students and teachers will receive training in Internet safety and digital citizenship.
There should be a Staff development session on multimedia for administrators, teachers and students.
There should be SchoolNet training for all stakeholders.
Have a Staff Development session on the significance of Distance learning via the internet.
Have a Staff Development for teachers on the significance of Electronic portfolios.
