Staff Development/Lessons Learned:

Our principal acts as a leader in technology implementation in that she has set a campus technology goal of having Promethean Boards and document cameras installed into every classroom. At this point, our campus is on an upward trend with the use of technology. Teachers are more comfortable with the basic productivity tools and are beginning to branch out into more sophisticated production tools. Its use is more common in our upper grade level than in our primary grades. The technology needs on our campus can be addressed by utilizing a couple of resources available through our district. The technology resource site for our district is comprehensive in addressing the individual needs of any staff member. It includes the website Atomic Learning where one can receive tutorials on a variety of software applications used within our district. The tutorials provided are user-friendly. For teachers that prefer face to face learning the district provides a technology strand of classes in its staff development catalog offering a range of classes from basic computer operations to more advanced classes teaching the in and outs of operating the Promethean Board and developing curriculum related flipcharts. Another great resource is located right on our campus. In examining the STaR chart we can locate staff members who are comfortable with technology incorporations within their curriculum and encourage them to act as mentors to those less who are less proficient in technology incorporation.

Evaluation:

The evaluation process can take place through evaluating lesson plans, classroom walk-through's, STaR chart findings, and display of student product. These evaluation methods are currently monitored daily, weekly, and monthly by our campus administrator allowing her to make determinations as to what new direction the campus should be geared towards.
