Evaluation Plan

Evaluation and Action Plan
In using week 3’s report, I discussed how there are various ways that technology and information systems are utilized to address and evaluate curriculum, instructional and professional development needs. For example, the Academic Excellence Indicator System allows administrators to get a great deal of performance information about every public school and district in the state Texas (Texas Education Agency). The AEIS report also gives information about staff, finances, and programs from each public school in the state of Texas. This allows campus leaders to get information to drive and direct instruction for successful student achievement. The Adequate Yearly Report is also another system that holds schools accountable at the federal level which in essence helps restructure curriculum or instruction if necessary. The STaR chart is also another informational system tool that is used to assess schools and gives campus leaders an opportunity to review 4 areas (e.g. teaching and learning, educator preparation and development, Leadership/Administration & Instructional Support, and Infrastructure for technology). By doing this, principals along with their Site Based Decision Making teams are able to see how they can better integrate technology into the classroom and better develop their teachers in this area.
