Executive Summary
The purpose of the Valley View ISD Technology Plan is to provide a coordinated, multi-year blueprint for the development of technology within
the community. The process for accomplishing such a task is critical to the viability of the final product. To develop a meaningful plan,
stakeholders must first have an opportunity to share their personal visions, needs and concerns regarding technology.

The Valley View ISD Technology Plan has been developed in order to:

        Provide a consistent focus for developing and supporting technology.
        Establish priorities for implementing various technologies.
        Promote the efficient and effective use of district resources.
        Develop a framework for decision-making related to technology.
        Comply with local, state and federal goals, mandates and initiatives.

The Valley View ISD Technology Planning Committee has developed a plan to infuse educational technology into the curriculum. The core
components of the technology plan are focused on (a) teaching & learning, (b) educator preparation and development; (c) administration &
support services and (d) infrastructure for technology. Valley View ISD embraces the integration of technology into our district goals because it is
a tool that provides students with differentiated instruction and promotes cognitive skills.

Our vision is to explore and evaluate new emerging technological methodologies to be incorporated into curricula to facilitate knowledge
construction and provide equitable technology access for all students, staff, administrators, and the community.

Valley View ISD strongly feels that our mission is to ensure academic achievement and excellence of all of our students. Valley View ISD's
primary goal is to improve student performance at every grade level and to develop technology-based strategies in order to exceed present
academic goals.

...about Valley View ISD..........

Located in the Rio Grande Valley, Valley View ISD is a rural district totaling 10.1 square miles along the U.S. Mexico Border. Valley View ISD
serves approximately 4468 students on Eight Title I School wide campuses. The plan defines a number of strategies that can assist the district in
achieving academic excellence. The rationale for the objectives, which are a product of the strategies being employed, is described in the full text
of the plan. The STaR Charts, in Appendix D, indicate the relationship between the four areas considered by the State Technology Plan and the
strategic areas defined by the staff where an action plan will be implemented.

It is recognized that not all objectives can be achieved in a single year, but must be pursued over time. Furthermore, for the results of the plan to
be fully realized, a substantial commitment must be made now to begin the process. Each year the plan will be reviewed, evaluated and modified
to take advantage of changing goals and/or technologies. The Technology Committee believes that this plan will enhance the instructional
environment of the district and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire Valley View ISD community.
Needs Assessment
Assessment Process:

Since the outset of the technology implementation in Valley View ISD, staff members have completed locally developed surveys and participated
in the Texas STaR Chart. Each school has graphed the results annually and used the information to plan for staff deployment opportunities, and
identify strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, staff teams administer, observe, and score the student performance assessments at each grade
level in elementary, middle, and high school. As staff members note the skills in which students need assistance, they work with their peers to
enable changes in student learning experiences. Manual audits, software & hardware inventory, and local surveys help us assess the needs of
our infrastructure. Replacement/upgrade of hardware, computers, and software provide training and support to teachers, staff, and
administrators.

Technology Needs:

After identifying the objectives of our instructional technology plan, and looking at the current status of (a) teaching & learning, (b)
educator preparation and development; (c) administration & support services and (d) infrastructure for technology, the following
specific areas will be addressed.
TEACHING AND LEARNING

The importance of curriculum standards to guide instruction in subject areas can be equated to technology standards that guide
teachers in classroom technology integration. The standards must be measurable and clearly, define what students must do to be
proficient in technology at each grade level. As in all subject areas, students need to have a foundation of skills to prepare them
for the next grade level. The Technology Applications-Chapter 126 builds upon a foundation of skills that begin in kindergarten
and continue through grade 12th.

NEEDS:

       o   Replace obsolete computers with at least 3.0 GHz computers based and 1 Gb NICS/ Desktop virtualization as an option. (ST
           3.1.16) . Upgrade and replace Special Education assistive technology equipment. (ST 4.1.14) .
       o   Update/add digital projectors (mount on the ceiling), document cameras, and interactive boards in every classroom. (ST
           2.1.12) . Equip every campus with Video over IP technology. (ST 3.1.19) . Continue implementation of digital books. (ST
           2.1.9) . One to One mobile initiative. (ST 3.1.4) .
       o   Professional development in digital content curriculum integration. Google Classroom integration

EDUCATOR PREPARATION AND DEVELOPMENT
The world is different, students are different, the Learning Process is different and teaching delivery must be different too!"
Teachers must transform their traditional learning environments to innovative environments in order to meet the needs of their
students. They must create learning experiences that foster critical thinking and exploratory/inquiry-based learning. Furthermore,
they need measurable standards that determine what must be done in order to provide technology-supported learning
opportunities for their students. The Technology Applications for Teachers (SBEC) will be discussed later in this document. A
major emphasis over the next few years will be on providing teachers with access to the necessary professional development
programs that will empower them to embrace the educational models envisioned in this plan. Without the necessary training, no
amount of investment in pure technology will make any difference in the educational environment. To successfully implement the
plan, we will need to produce comprehensive online curriculum center to distribute K-12 curriculum, staff development, resources,
student activities and assessments.

NEEDs:

  Investigate and design web-based interfaces for staff to access administrative databases.( ST 2.1.3) . Continue to expand and improve
  staff development initiatives to support technology use.( ST 1.2.1) . Continue to develop campus-based technology/curriculum support.
  (ST 1.2.2) . Review/assess needs for support and staff development in existing and emerging technologies using online survey
  technology. (ST 2.1.5)

ADMINISTRATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES
  As leaders, administrators must be willing to learn the technology integration skills expected of the staff. Moreover, they need
  measurable standards to guide them in helping teachers create rich learning experiences for their students. The quality of a principal’s
  leadership has a major impact on education technology usage, leading to improved student outcomes. How well principals guide the
  professional learning process of education technology use has consequences in terms of time, cost, and results. A principal must
  effectively perform the following.

       o   Model technology use.
       o   Enable teacher
           collaboration time.
       o   Enable online professional
           learning.
       o   Use change management
           strategies.
       o   Enable regularly scheduled professional learning opportunities for teachers

  Technology Applications for administrators are in the process of being developed and will be incorporated into this plan when finalized.
  The district will provide and encourage all professional staff to take the necessary workshops and classes that will help them support
  the Technology Applications-Chapter 126 Standards.

NEEDS:

       o   Instructional Technology Liaison at each campus. (ST
1.2.12). Principal training to lead effective implementation.
o   Principals must ensure teacher buy-in and model best
    practices. Provide training for support personnel. (ST
    1.2.1).
o   Maintain existing hardware/software standard configurations at a high-quality support level.
    (ST 1.2.1). Student? Computer ratio. Lower ratios improve outcomes.
o   Replace none supported help desk with a web-based application. (ST 3.1.2).
o   The district needs to increase additional access to district technology resources in the area of reading, mathematics, science
    and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) to correlate with STAAR.(ST 1.1.4)
Goals, Objectives, and Strategies

GOAL 1: Valley View ISD will stay current with technology and applications.
OBJECTIVE 1.1: All campuses will incorporate
instructional strategies that require use of Higher Order District Improvement Plan Goals supported by this objective:
Thinking Skills (HOTS) through the implementation and
integration of technology applications.
