Teaching and Learning component • Showed little positive trend other than it did

not fall into the Early Tech stage. • We have maintained the same score for the

last three years. • Good indicator that this area needs to be

addressed in setting campus goals.

What does the data show for West Elementary?

Educator Preparation & Development

Stayed the same in 07-08 and 08-09. Still room for improvement in this area. Campus Leadership team may want to

address this in planning future staff development.

What does the data show for West Elementary?

Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support

Maintained Developing Tech stage. Lost 2 points for 08-09. Campus Leadership Team and administrators

may need to make a concerted effort to improve this component.

What does the data show for West Elementary?

The Infrastructure for Technology

(equipment available)

Gained 4 points Made the largest gain for all components

over a single year. This area has never reached the Target Tech

level where on demand access and connectivity for all students is achieved

Questions????

To do this, we all need to make a commitment to:

Help others who lack the skills needed to make technology a plus in their classrooms

Agree that technology is a much needed change and that is okay!!

Remember that our kids and their success is what we are here for.

In Conclusion: Our campus needs to “STEP IT UP!” in the technology department!!
