CCISD Technology Plan

The Clear Creek ISD long range technology plan is composed of four goals.  These goals are to improve student learning and achievement through the integration of technology into instruction across the curriculum; work with the department of instruction to provide district-wide professional development to ensure efficient and effective use of technologies; to support district wide strategic planning initiatives by providing technology solutions to ensure efficient and effective management of resources, improved processes, and community collaboration; and to support integration of technology into instruction by providing and maintaining network connectivity, hardware, and software.  
Each of these goals also has between two to four objectives and each objective has between five and thirteen strategies for reaching the goals and objectives.  Goal 1 Objectives includes increased student access to 24/7 learning; increased collaboration between instruction and technology; and improved academic achievement across the curriculum through the of technology and library services.  Goal 2 Objectives include expanding and providing professional development opportunities through the use of distance learning that is collaborative, interactive, and differentiated.  The Goal 3 Objectives are to promote a shared vision that ensures planning is collaborative and technology rich; communicate the vision with a variety of media to interact and collaborate; and improve processes to promote efficient and effective management of district resources.  The objectives of the fourth and final goal are to provide the infrastructure to allow the district to meet district goals, and to develop the infrastructure to prepare for and address emerging technologies and future needs.
The district uses an on-going and systematic process for evaluating and monitoring the progress towards these specific goals, some of which include the utilizing data collected from the Texas STaR chart, annual surveys/needs assessments, annual interviews with campus principals, librarians and other campus staff; student focus group meetings; Net Day’s Speak Up Event data; feedback from monthly technology specialist meetings; records in participation in technology in professional development; number of staff members within each of their levels of TSDP; monitoring of usage for all digital and online instructional resources, student performance on the technology TEKS; and many other sources for data collection too numerous to list.  The point is that the district is using multiple forms of assessment along the path of implementation.
