ACTION PLAN

Donna Patterson EA1208 EDLD 5352

Goal: To close the gap in student achievement between sub-groups by 10%.

Purpose: To improve instruction and increase quality student achievement by gathering and analyzing data from a variety of sources for informed decision making regarding the need for technology, the implementation of technology and the professional development for the use of the technology.

Objectives to be addressed:

LRPT Alignment for Gainesville ISD TL07: Integrate student performance data from district/state assessment instruments with electronic curriculum resources to inform and differentiate instruction for every child.

Gainesville ISD CIP 1,2: The staff of (campus) will participate in staff development to assist all student groups in achieving academic success.

Gainesville ISD CIP 1.3: Teacher and students will have access and utilize technology in the classroom.

ORGANIZATIONAL CHART for TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
