Week 2, Part 3
The four key areas, of the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology 20012-2020, are Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Leadership, Administration and Instructional Support, and Infrastructure for Technology. The area of greater need on my campus is Educator Preparation and Development.
In order for our educators to make the vision a success and raise ratings, they must be devoted to making change. Devotion also needs to come from higher up: campus administration, district officials, and state education representatives. Teachers must be open to the change and embrace all new concepts given to them. Campus leaders need to guarantee proper training and implementation time for teachers to be comfortable with using the new trades. District and state should allow the funding necessary to ensure teachers, campuses, students, etc. have what is necessary to be successful.
Devotion also needs to come in terms of time. Changes can not be made over night, and understanding of this is necessary. Staff need to come together and help those that need "tutoring" to bring their skills up. Collaboration is key so the campus/districts know that their students will benefit from all the assets given.
Education is never ending...we are life long learners. We want our students to leave with this belief as well. What better way than leading by example. Encourage teachers to take what they learn and use it in the classroom. Use the classroom as your learning area. Students will excitedly teach their teachers something new. I know mine do all the time. I am always asking for someone's help! This builds their confidence and self esteem as well.
Since this is an area of need across the state, I would like to see educators building on each other's experiences and administration alloting time to do so. This can and will better everyone's future.
