An indicator may be PD attendance, may be student work showing 21st Century skills, a teacher’s lesson plan showing technology integration, etc. Use format shown below. Insert additional goals as necessary.] Goal 1 [Insert goal here.] Action Plan: Strategies/Activities Goal 2 [Insert goal here.] Action Plan: Strategies/Activities Goal 3 [Insert goal here.] Action Plan: Strategies/Activities Goal 4 [Insert goal here.] Action Plan: Strategies/Activities Student Technology Literacy Skills [The plan must have clear goals and a specific implementation plan detailing how students will acquire technology and information literacy skills adopted in the Combined Curriculum Standards. The plan must also have a specific implementation plan detailing how students will become technology literate by the end of the 8th grade and technology proficient by graduation. An Indicator is something observed or calculated to show presence or state of condition, an instrument or gauge that measures something and registers that measurement.

What steps are being taken to ensure that students in high-poverty and high-need schools have access to technology' Consider what you currently have, what works well, what needs maintenance or upgrade. How do you currently maintain technology and train staff' What kind of training is needed'] Evaluation [The plan must include an evaluation process that enables the school to monitor progress toward the specified goals and make mid-course corrections in response to new developments and opportunities as they arise. Provide a description of the indicators and accountability measures that will be used to evaluate the extent to which activities are effective in integrating technology into the curricula and instruction, increase the ability of teachers to teach, and enable students to meet challenging state academic standards. In the narratives, describe your process for using (gather data) the tools and/or methods used from indicators listed in previous sections and what actions will be taken if expected results are not met. Include whom the evaluation data will be presented to. You may also include in an appendix any tool or survey being used, as well as, results of the periodic (longitudinal) evaluation data to your technology plan showing the level of implementation or growth.] Technology Vision and Goals Evaluation Narrative [Insert Narrative here.] Student Technology Literacy Skills Evaluation Narrative [Insert Narrative here.] Integration of Technology into Curricula and Instruction Evaluation Narrative [Insert Narrative here.] Staff Training/Professional Development Evaluation Narrative [Insert Narrative here.]
