Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support

The one key area that has really interested me is the the Leadership, Administration and Instructional Support. In this area the our administrators need to model the effective use and support their staff in providing them with the training that is needed to integrate technology into the classroom. The administrator will clear about their expectations for the faculty to use the technology to improve student success. As administrators we need to make sure that we budget the amount that is needed to train our staff. In reviewing the data for the STaR Chart, I was able to see that the classification did not change with in the three years. In the 06-07, 07-08, and 08-09 Advanced Tech was the classification all all three years. What this means is that the our school district has a plan in place that will allow the technology to increase in our district. There will be more funds allocated to the grown of that department. Comparing it to the Campus Statewide Summary, are ahead in this key area. This has remained the same throughout the years 07-08 and 08-09.

The recommendations to improve in this area is to continue supporting the teachers with their training and allocate the funds needed to obtain new equipment as well as to upgrade the one that we already have. The administrators are very supportive in providing the time for teachers to use for training. This I believe will encourage teachers to want to attend the trainings and also implement what they learn in their classrooms.
