Evaluation Process:
Teachers need time to implement newly acquired technology and they need continual support from administration and the campus computer technologist. The administrator’s duty is to monitor the implementation and be aware and correct any problems that may arise. Assessment can be done through lesson plans, walkthroughs, PDAS, web pages, hit counters, blogs, Texas STaR Chart, surveys and/or student projects. Teachers must have adequate time to plan and continually attend professional development and the evaluation process ensures that the participants are implementing new learning. For this particular Action Plan, the administrator will keep track of the teachers’ participation for the book study from their reflections on their blogs. To receive credit for this professional development, participants must complete the online survey in Eduphoria. Evaluation is an on-going process.
“Just as we urge teachers to plan carefully, and to make ongoing assessments of student learning an integral part of the instructional process, evaluation needs to become an integral part of the professional development process.” (p. 43)
TAKS scores, AEIS reports, AYP reports will show student achievement and how we rank according to the TEA levels of achievement.
