Data+Analysis

 An evaluation of our campus’ STaR (School Technology and Readiness) chart over the last three years revealed that our campus’ greatest weakness is in Domain II - Educator Preparation and Development. Our campus data revealed a downward trend where we went from “Advanced” to “Developing” in this domain. In addition, we have remained at “Developing” for 2 years. Not surprisingly, without the proper professional development for technology use and integration, our results under Domain I -Teaching and Learning - also fall short of improvement. In turn, the needs of the 21st Century learners at our campus are not being met.

The vision of the Texas Long-Range Plan for the year 2020 – which is why we do the STaR survey each year - is to have an education system where students, parents, educators, community and school board members are comfortable using a widespread of digital tools and resources. The use of these tools and resources should enhance learning, communication, and collaboration to build a secure future for all learners.

Thus reveals the purpose of creating a professional development wiki for our campus which we will tailor to Teaching and Learning. While we discuss how to help with technology-based instruction (sharing ideas) - we will be collaborating to help our campus’ teachers drive their technology implementation and knowledge.

Found this on another education wiki Eduwiki.us under 20th Century vs. 21st Century Skills, very insightful-enjoy. -Becky media type="custom" key="3514166"
