Role of Principal: In addition to monitoring the progress of the implementation of technology on campus, the principal must work to secure funds needed for the effective use of technology. He/she must also align resources to meet the goals and objectives for technology use on campus. He or she should work effectively with the Site-Based Decision Making Committee to ensure that teachers and students are provided with the tools necessary to teach the 21^st century learner how to utilize technology to increase their problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Part 2: Professional Development Planning

District Book Study	Teachers will participate in a six week long book study about technology. The book of choice will be pre-determined by the director of instruction and focus on the importance of integrating technology into the classroom and the effective implementation of technology in the classroom. Teachers will participate in four group discussions on a school Wiki.
Connect to Learn	Teachers will be required to participate in a minimum of three Connect to Learn opportunities available through the school district. Trainings can be completed anytime throughout the school day or at home, and the skill learned must be implemented into the classroom during the same semester.
Monthly Staff Meetings	CCIS teachers will conduct a fifteen minute technology lesson during at least three monthly staff meetings each semester. Lessons will be practical applications that can be easily implemented into the classroom.
Strategic Planning Staff Development	Prior to the start of the school year, teachers in each department will meet with their CCIS to analyze SFA data, STaR Chart Data, and AEIS data. Each department will identify three areas of technology in need of improvement and create SMART goals that outline how they plan to improve in these areas throughout the year. Teachers will include at least one professional development activity for each identified area in their SMART goals. Their goals will be presented to the director of instruction in PowerPoint, Smart, or Prezi format.
Texting in the Classroom	Teachers will participate in a group question and answer session utilizing an online texting poll. Included in the poll will be a question regarding effective uses of texting in the classroom. Once ideas have been identified and discussed, teachers will break up into groups to create a presentation about one effective use of texting in the classroom. Presentations will be shared with the rest of the group.
Moodle	Core content teachers will participate in a Moodle course provided by the district. The course will utilize and teach Moodle technology and focus on technology integration, student engagement, and differentiated learning. The Moodle course will be mandatory and count toward district or campus time equivalency hours.

Part 3: Evaluation Planning for Action Plan

Goal/Objective	Assessment
Utilize technology to improve communication with all stakeholders (parents, teachers, administrators, community members)	· Teachers will be asked to submit screenshots of email lists and evidence of email communication at the end of each semester · SchoolWires pages will be monitored each week by the director of instruction · An electronic survey will be emailed to all parents asking for their input in evaluating the effectiveness of our campus communication
Students will utilize technology in each unit of study in Science, Math, Reading/Language Arts, and Social Studies	· CCIS teachers will monitor the integration and usage of technology in each of the four content areas. They will provide data to the principal and director of instruction to show the effective usage of technology each six weeks. · CCIS teachers will also compare SFA scores from the previous year to determine if technology is having a significant impact on the problem solving and critical thinking skills of students. · Teachers will highlight technology usage on their lesson plans each week. These plans will be submitted to the director of instruction.
All faculty members will participate in professional development activities that improve decision making in the integration of technology	· Teachers will contribute to a school Wiki while participating in a school-wide book study about technology · Teachers will provide evidence of the implementation of a Connect to Learn strategy at least three times each semester · Department goals based on state and district data as well as state technology data will be presented to the director of instruction and principal. Goals must be presented in a format that utilized technology.
Share Sessions	· District coordinators will provide evidence that teachers participated in at least one share session per semester. Share sessions will be conducted using Adobe Connect. · District share sessions will provide at least one new technology tool each session. Teachers must complete a lesson utilizing the tool and submit it to the district technology coordinator for review. Lessons will be posted on the district Wiki so all teachers can benefit from them in their classroom.
Moodle	· An online survey will be issued to all content teachers to gather feedback about the Moodle course. · Discussion questions included in the Moodle course will be compiled electronically to determine level of understanding in regard to technology implementation, differentiated learning, and student engagement. Data will be shared with district coordinators and campus principals.
Parent and Student Surveys	· At the end of each school year, a parent and student survey will be issued to all parents and students in each school. The survey will address such items as frequency of technology usage, level of understanding, and effectiveness of technology in the classroom. Data will be used to determine goals and objectives for the following year.
PDAS	· PDAS evaluations and summative conferences will be used to determine technology integration across all content areas. Campus administrators will utilize data when determining goals for the following year and to help provide focus for campus staff development.
