Progress Assessment

Evaluation For Action Plan

Follow up for the professional development will consist of: Administrative walk-through and observations with positive feedback, common lesson plans (departments), department meetings and sharing success, and principal /or science teacher support.

Administrators will be responsible for the walk-through and observations with positive feedback. Administrators will document their walk-through in Euphoria. Euphoria is an evaluation format that is filled out by administrators after they have done a walk-through or yearly evaluation. The format lends itself for writing comments. This section in the comments area will be used for constructive criticism. The timeline for the walk-through will be once every month.

Lesson plans will be created within the respective departments and a follow up with the various resources. Departmental lesson plans will include at least one differentiated technology lesson every 3 to 4 weeks. Lesson plan will be submitted to the assistant principal three weeks in advance for review.

Using the various resources, teachers within the departments will share any successes or help with any circumstances that might help teachers become successful. With advance notice, the Technology Specialist or member of the Campus Technology Cadre may be included in any discussion so that he may assist with any technology issues. Department meetings dealing with the professional development will be held twice a month. If possible, the campus technology coordinator may also assist in any department that requires some assistance with any particular objective concerns.

An aide will be used to cover classes if the Technology Specialist, member of the Campus Technology Cadre or the Campus Technology Coordinator is needed. This will be possible when administrators are advised before hand to ensure that all classes will be covered and that no technology class interference occurs.

The evaluation for the use of the Smart boards can be performed three times a year to assess the progress and success of the action plan. The first time survey would be immediately following the professional development training to check on its feasibility. For the second evaluation, the same survey would be forwarded to the participants at the end of the first semester to see if the use of the Smart boards had any effectiveness. The final and last evaluation would be given by sending the same survey at the end of year. The evaluation results will indicate whether the use of the Smart boards was a good technology tool for improving student learning, data gathering and monitoring, and enhance instructional strategies. If the survey indicates a positive feedback on the use of the Smart boards on student achievement, the administrative leaders should consider placing aside a budget to add more Smart boards beginning with the core content teachers’ classroom.

The final evaluation will come at the end of the year when our campus receives the reports and analyze the progress level for the STaR Chart, AEIS report, meeting AYP, NCLB, Texas Long Range Technology Plan, District Technology Plan, District Technology Improvement Plan and Campus Technology Improvement Plan.
