Evaluations and Assessments

The evaluation process will be an ongoing basis using a variety of assessments. All assessments will be shared with the Board of Trustees, Superintendent, District Administrators, and Technology Director.  The final analysis will be shared with the faculty and staff.  This analysis should correspond with the Campus Improvement Plan and also the Technology Improvement Plan.  The STaR Chart should be reviewed and adjustments should be made so that we can meet the district’s and state’s Technology Plan.  During the middle of the year the Technology Director should do visual evaluations along with surveys to determine if the district is going to meet our Campus Improvement Plan and Technology Improvement plan when dealing with the use of technology. If there seems to be little progress, then adjustments need to be made so the second half of the school year will be more productive.  

To monitor the use of technology, the principals will review the lesson plans of teachers to determine if technology is being implemented and how it is being implemented in their classroom. Principals will also participate in walk-throughs to have visual evidence in whether or not teachers are meeting the goals discussed by the Campus and Technology Improvement Plans.  Student performance will be another key in evaluating the progress helping the students improve in meeting the state’s Technology TEKS.  The technology director along with the principal will also evaluate websites being used, equipment being checked out, lab use and presence of presentations by teachers.

In order to improve the decision making in the integration of technology, there will be professional development for learning how to integrate technology into the classrooms.  There faculty and staff will discuss technology likes, dislikes, and methods on how the use of technology impacts their instruction.  Teachers will participate in a variety of surveys including the STaR chart so that the district can determine where they stand when dealing with the integration of technology and decide on what improvements need to be taken.  Every decision, evaluation and assessment will correspond with the District and Technology Improvement Plan.
