  1. Project 3 - Assessment James Pace High School Brownsville, Texas Blanca E. PenaEDTC 6342 – Technology Leadership

  2. James Pace High School • District: BISD • Grades: 9-12 • Location: Brownsville, Texas 78520 • School Colors: Green and White • Mascot: Viking • Enrollment:1,825 • Assessment Period: 2008 - 2011

  3. Survey Process • 10 Participants • English (2) • Math (2) • Science (2) • Special Programs (2) • Special Education (1) • Technology (1) I chose the department heads and a teacher from each area to get a wider range of responses to the survey. I included one technology teacher to get an overall view of the campus technology needs.

  4. SchoolTechnologyandReadinessChart. • The Star Chart is a tool for planning andassessing the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology. • The Texas Teacher STaR Chart is broken down into four key areas • Teaching and Learning • Educator Preparation and Development • Leadership, Administration and Instructional Support • Infrastructure for Technology

  5. Assessment Process • Star Chart data is a major component of determining what our district needs are. As the needs of the district change, objectives and strategies will continue to change to meet the needs of the students.

  10. Survey Information Demographic • Do you know why you are asked to complete the StarChart every year? I added a question regarding the StarChart survey to get a better understanding of the teacher’s knowledge for completing the survey. As you can see, almost 50% of the teachers do not know why they complete the survey. This is a major issue that needs to be addressed to administration for future teacher training.

  11. Survey Question & Results Teaching and Learning • TL2 – How often do you integrate technology into your curriculum? StartChart findings for 2011 showed an increase from two to three. The chart above shows positive use of technology integration by the teachers on a daily bases.

  12. Survey Question & Results Teaching and Learning • TL3 – My students have access to technology tools they can utilize outside the classroom. StarChart findings for 2011 showed an increase from two to three, however, the chart above shows that 50% of the teachers are unaware of the technology tools available to our students. This item will need to be further address with administration. Possible solution offer future training on this item.

  13. Survey Question & Results Teaching and Learning • TL6 - I have access to post, link, and communicate important information with my students, parents, and other teachers? StarChart findings for 2011 shows a gradual increase each year. The chart above supports the increase of teachers knowledge and use campus website for communications.

  15. Survey Questions & ResultsEducator Preparation & Development • EP4 - How many hours of technology professional development do you attend yearly? StarChart findings for 2011 remain the same (2) in 2010 and 2011. The chart above shows variance of hours of professional development.

StarChart findings for 2011 remain the same (2) in 2010 and 2011. The chart above shows that teachers are using web-based instruction and websites to deliver Instruction in their classroom. Possible solution, post additional resources on the campus website.

  17. Survey Questions & Results Leadership, Adm. Instructional Support • L3 - I am familiar with Technology Applications (TA) TEKS. StarChart findings for 2011 remain the same (2) in 2010 and 2011. The chart above shows that only half the teachers are familiar with the Technology Applications TEKS. Recommended solution is add this item as a teacher training module.

  18. Survey Questions & Results Leadership, Adm. Instructional Support • L4 – Administration effectively communicates with staff through multiple technology venues including and not limited to online intranet, email, web pages, and forums. StarChart findings for 2011 remain the same (2) in 2010 and 2011. The chart above shows that teachers are somewhat divided on this item. Possible reason could be that not all teachers read the information or adhere to it.

The chart above shows that 50% of the teachers have more than 1 student computer In their classroom. Possible solution, make teachers aware of the availability of the (C.O.W.)computer on wheels with wireless connection.

  21. Survey Questions & Results Infrastructure for Technology • INF4 - When I encounter any type of technical problems, the technology team response wait is: StarChart findings for 2011 remain the same (2) in 2010 and 2011.
