Clear Lake High School
Professional Staff Development
Technology Integration into the Instructional Environment

District Goal #1: Improve Student Achievement

Campus Goal #1: Achieve an Exemplary Campus Rating
Strategy #3: Integrate technology into teaching and learning and student activities in all areas.
Tactic #3: Evaluate technology needs and continually provide staff development opportunities for all staff that emphasizes technology utilization in the classroom

Action Plan: To accomplish this goal a needs assessment was first done. The results of the needs assessment were then used to develop a staff development opportunity to address the areas in need to move toward accomplishment of the campus goal. The needs assessment indicated that the newest technologies were not being incorporated into the instructional environment by the majority of teachers.

Learning Objective: To increase the use of available technology in the classroom by demonstrating how current users are incorporating the technology in all subject areas.

Professional Development Time Needed: 2 hours (including, setup/breaks/rotation)

These three technology demonstrations will be done by volunteer teachers who have already seen the value of this technology in the instructional environment and are using it on a regular basis. Teachers will sign up to attend two of the three technologies offered and will rotate through. An evaluation of the usefulness of the training will be done by each participant at the end of the training.

During the annual PDAS, administrators will look specifically for the documentation of the increased use of these three technologies in each teacher’s lesson plans.
