County Technology Plan
West Virginia has placed an emphasis on equitably providing technology for schools in order to
enhance student learning, improve student achievement, and prepare students for post-secondary
education and the world of work. Many stakeholders are involved in this process including students,
teachers, administrators, parents, community members, legislators, board of education members and
others.
Collectively, the county technology planning team members have assisted in creating, refining,
implementing and utilizing educational technology to meet the current standards, develop local
programs, build partners and capacity, make data-driven decisions, and to evaluate the use of
technology for administrative and instructional tasks.
The county technology plan is a component of the UCIP and is based on the state OPTimal online
format (http://wv.ontargetus.com/). This plan will serve several functions. Not only does the plan
complement and support the county's instructional goals as delineated in the UCIP, it is also intended to
help meet the technology objectives/requirements of the school, county/state policies, state/federal
programs, and competitive grants. Examples of these include the following:
Policy 2320: A Process for Improving Education Performance Based Accreditation System
Policy 2450: Virtual Distance Learning
Policy 2460: Use of the Internet by Students and Educators
Policy 2470: Use of Technology by Students and Educators
Policy 2510: Assuring Quality of Education
Policy 2520: Content Standards and Objectives
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in order to receive Universal Service Fund Program
E-rate Funds
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 which establishes the Enhancing Education Through
Technology (Ed Tech) Program
West Virginia House Bill 4319
Basic Skills/Computer Education (BS/CE)
WV SUCCESS
WVDE Reinventing Education
However, the most important function of the plan is to ensure that the effective use of educational
technology supports achievement and lifelong learning.

County Mission and Vision Statements
County Vision:
The Tyler County Board of Education believes that education is a basic means whereby a given social
order tries to perpetuate, improve and transmit its cultural heritage or way of life. Tyler County Schools'
consistently strives to achieve realistic educational goals that are comprehensive in their offerings and
relative to the educational needs of the community and the varying individual needs of the students.
Tyler County's educational program gives priority to reading, writing, listening, speaking, reasoning and
mathematics, using a diagnostic prescriptive approach thus, insuring learning that is based upon
readiness and continuous progress. The curriculum has been constructed to provide optimum learning
opportunities for students with highly divergent academic abilities. Every student will be given the
opportunity to experience success and develop to their fullest potential. Student's will be challenged to
do their very best work in every class, and the school system will do its best to provide the necessary
facilities, organization, curriculum, instruction, technology and support services necessary to meet the
challenge.
County Mission:
Working with all stakeholders (parents, community, business), a system strong in basic skills, process
and application, communication, problem solving-through collaboration and innovations- in which the
adopted curriculum is taught by all teachers and mastered by all students is the mission of the Tyler
County Board of Education. The staff accepts the responsibility to foster student's unique abilities and
to develop student responsibility for good health, civic work and life long learning.

Needs Assessment
Analysis of Assessment Data
All Tyler County Students took the WESTEST in the spring of 2004. WESTEST is comprised of custom
developed assessments that include multiple measures in reading/language arts, mathematics, science
and social studies. Students’ scores in all four-sub tests were reported and shared with teachers at
grades 3 through 8 and 10 to be analyzed. This tests major emphasis is in the areas of
reading/language arts and mathematics. Five levels of student achievement were reported in the areas
of reading/language arts and mathematics they will include: distinguished, above mastery, mastery,
partial mastery, and novice. Students scoring at or above the mastery level are defined as proficient.
Tyler County annually reviews this test data noting adequate yearly progress and noting those areas of
weakness. Teachers annually write prescriptions for improvement. All teachers are encouraged to use
basic skill software the students needing additional practice, as we as a review and to practice new
skills. Students are encouraged to use Accelerated Reader materials to enhance vocabulary and
reading comprehension. Both elementary schools are to emphasize Reading English Language Arts
and Mathematics, by spending the majority of their instructional day in these core subject areas.
Reading Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension as well as Mathematical Problem Solving are the areas
needing continuous improvement.
Analysis of Tyler Consolidated Middle School NCLB report shows the need to improve scores for
special needs students in the area of reading and Mathematics. Keys to Reading Success a Computer
diagnostic reading program has been implemented in grades 6-8 and will be continued next year. This
is an Internet accessed program and is presently being utilized in 18 classrooms. Textbook related
software for re-teaching and guided practice would continue to be emphasized. In order to provide
additional assistance to Middle School students having difficulty mastering the Content Standards in
Mathematics, Tyler County has hired an additional teacher who will administer a diatonic test to
determine the skills areas students have not mastered and design a re-teach/preteach program to
assist students with basic skills. This program will use software as a supplement to the program design.
Writing Assessment
Use of technology (word processing) for writing assignments is encouraged beginning at grade 5.
Students after proofreading and editing final drafts are encouraged to use computer software to share
their final product. At the Elementary level pre-writing, draft development, and editing is done using
Compass Software for compositions.
Analysis of UCIP
The Tyler County Professional Staff Development Council annually conducts a formal needs
assessment of all professional staff to aid in the identification of areas employees feel they need new or
additional training. Identification of curricular alignment gaps and reviewing important subject
vocabulary, essential questions and graphic organizers will be emphasized this summer.
OEPA Reports
Tyler County’s performance information was reviewed by the OPEA in December of 2003. On the basis
of this information the State conferred Full Approval status on the Tyler County School System and
granted Full Accreditation status to three schools in Tyler County. Tyler Consolidated Middle School is
on Temporary Acceditation Status. For the past 2 years they have not meet AYP in Reading and
Mathematics in the sub-group Special Education. A corrective action plan has been written for the
Page 6 of 32
Middle School and has been implemented to meet this state and national requirement. Tyler County
annually reviews Policy 2320 noting new areas as well as reviewing present practice and making
modification and/or deletions to remain in full compliance. Time lines are established and reports are
made to the superintendent denoting progress.
Innovation: Student projects or exhibitions are required for all students’ grades 5,8 and 12. The
components may vary at each level, but all require research, use of Internet, a visual display and an oral
presentation. Most students at the 8th and 12th grade levels use word processing software to write their
research papers, power point, videos, and recordings to assist in the delivery of there oral presentations
