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.

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.

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!!
