Week 4 Assignment: Due at the end of Week 4.
Overview
Last week, you engaged in an analysis and wrote a report describing the use of technology and
information systems to enrich campus curriculum, enhance teaching and learning, and generally
integrate technology into our campus improvement plans to effectively integrate technology and
instructional leadership. Your analysis and report should provide the necessary background for
the Week 4 major assignment – developing an action plan for gathering, analyzing, and using
data from a variety of sources for informed campus decision making focusing on integrating
technology, instructional leadership, professional development and organizational leadership.
As a result of this week’s assignments, you will be able to:
   •   Examine and assess procedures for gathering, analyzing, and using data from a variety
       of sources for informed decision making regarding the integration of technology,
       instructional and organizational leadership (SBEC Principal Competency 7 indicator);
   •   Design and apply skills for monitoring and evaluating change and making needed
       adjustments to achieve the campus vision and goals, including the integration of
       technology as described above (SBEC Principal Competency 7 indicator).
Both of these outcomes are elements of Domain II, Instructional Leadership.
In writing your Week 4 action plan, use your interviews, your readings, including campus and
district improvement plans as well as any technology plans, and your Week 3 report to make
sure the action plan:
   •   Identifies data gathering sources;
   •   Provides a description of an organizational chart describing decision making
       responsibilities regarding the integration of technology from central office personnel to
       campus leadership and staff;
   •   Describes comprehensive professional development activities to achieve your action
       plan (this may utilize information from the previous three weeks of readings and
       activities);
   •   Includes an evaluation plan to assess the progress and success of the action plan.
Students will be asked to post their action plan on the Discussion Board and each student must
review and comment on at least one other action plan focusing on organizational leadership
designed to maximize the use of technology in data gathering and decision making.
Submit your assignment by 11:59 PM on the seventh day of Week 4.

Week 4 Assignment, Part 2: Professional Development Planning
Using the campus and district improvement plans, and any suggested technology
improvements, develop professional development activities that include the following:

•     Reference analysis and lessons learned about the technology needs from the Week 3
      report;

      of data from a variety of sources;
•     Includes professional development to improve decision making in the integration of
      technology with instructional and organizational leadership.




              Professional Development Plan

    Purpose: After review of the Texas STaR Chart report, Educator Preparation and
    Development has been identified as one of the weakest areas on our campus. The
    purpose of this plan is to develop a source of helpful information on professional
    development in technology integration as well as sharing best practices of current
    lesson plans that demonstrate effective uses of technology that align with TEKS.

 Objective: To develop a forum to share best practices and resources available to
provide professional development in the area of technology integration. To fill the
   gap in the area of technology training that is left by the inadequate resources
              available throughout district professional development.

     Members: Grade Level Team Leaders, Technology Specialists. Directors and
                               Administrators


Review Data: Texas Long Range Goal Plan, AEIS, STaR Chart, District
Technology Plan, District Improvement Plan, Campus Improvement Plan, Teacher
Survey.
                      Role of the Campus Administrator
The primary goal of the campus administrator is to ensure that the campus
professional development plan aligns with the Texas Long Range Technology Plan

2006-2020 and campus needs. This includes managing funds and providing
resources needed for student success. A specific plan will allow each campus to
reach its goal and improve instruction and integration of technology according to
the STaR Chart’s four objectives.

                    Technology Integration on Our Campus

   1.   Members of the organizational chart, SBDM committee, CIP committee,
        and technology cadre provide feedback on the current status of technology
        integration.

   2.   Examine current technology offerings, equipment, and budget within our
        district.

   3. Share ideas of professional development resources that can assist teachers
        with technology integration in their classrooms. Such as websites, videos,
        etc.

   4.   (i.e. http://www.lburkhart.com/elem/internet.htm )

   5.   Identify current technology on campus and ways it can be effectively
        implemented.

   6.   Discuss best practices being used in classrooms that support technology
        integration (local assessment data desegregating using Eduphoria, AEIS,
        AYP, and CIP reports).

   7.   What are you doing to integrate technology in your classroom? Effective or
        non-effective?

   8.   Post detailed lesson plans of sample lessons that effectively utilize
        technology.

          next topic for subsequent meeting.




Week 4 Assignment, Part 3: Evaluation Planning for Action Plan
The technology action plan integrating instructional an organizational leadership must include
evaluation components that provide measurable outcomes designed to address the following:


•   Uses data and other analysis from the Week 3 report, including using the campus and
    district improvement plans, and local or state technology plans;
•   Provides assessments and/or monitoring reports measuring professional development
    designed to use technology to improve the gathering, analysis and use of data from a
    variety of sources;
•   Provides assessments and/or monitoring evaluating professional development to improve
    decision making in the integration of technology with instructional and organizational
    leadership.

Overview Last week, you engaged in an analysis and wrote a report describing the use of technology and information systems to enrich campus curriculum, enhance teaching and learning, and generally integrate technology into our campus improvement plans to effectively integrate technology and instructional leadership. Your analysis and report should provide the necessary background for the Week 4 major assignment – developing an action plan for gathering, analyzing, and using data from a variety of sources for informed campus decision making focusing on integrating technology, instructional leadership, professional development and organizational leadership. As a result of this week’s assignments, you will be able to: • Examine and assess procedures for gathering, analyzing, and using data from a variety of sources for informed decision making regarding the integration of technology, instructional and organizational leadership (SBEC Principal Competency 7 indicator); • Design and apply skills for monitoring and evaluating change and making needed adjustments to achieve the campus vision and goals, including the integration of technology as described above (SBEC Principal Competency 7 indicator). Both of these outcomes are elements of Domain II, Instructional Leadership. In writing your Week 4 action plan, use your interviews, your readings, including campus and district improvement plans as well as any technology plans, and your Week 3 report to make sure the action plan: • Identifies data gathering sources; • Provides a description of an organizational chart describing decision making responsibilities regarding the integration of technology from central office personnel to campus leadership and staff; • Describes comprehensive professional development activities to achieve your action plan (this may utilize information from the previous three weeks of readings and activities); • Includes an evaluation plan to assess the progress and success of the action plan. Students will be asked to post their action plan on the Discussion Board and each student must review and comment on at least one other action plan focusing on organizational leadership designed to maximize the use of technology in data gathering and decision making.
