Campus Tech Support
Our campus has a part time computer lab assistant that works with students. A teacher is paid a stipend to serve as our campus tech.
A full time campus tech is needed.
Future Vision and Direction
Three years from now at Gullett School, you will see teachers using their laptops on a regular basis to collaborate, create and
communicate. Teachers will regularly use their teacher web site and other online tools to keep parents and students informed. Parents
will regularly access the online gradebook and other resources for information about their child. Classrooms will have integrated
multimedia systems with document cameras and other interactive tools. All curriculum resources will be available online.
Campus Improvement Plan Alignment
One of our goals this year is for teachers to implement at least one integrated lesson in the Fall and one in the Spring. Our CIP calls
for increased opportunities for topic driven and free writing and to increase numerical fluency. The technology integration lessons
will include writing in the Fall and numerical fluency in the Spring.
Goal 1: Teaching and Learning
Teaching & Learning focuses on the instructional needs of teachers and the learning needs of students in meeting the vision of
technology in education.
Objective 1.1: Integrate the Technology Applications TEKS within the foundation curriculum at each grade level.
Objective 1.3: Use digital diagnostic tools for formative evaluation to monitor progress toward the mastery of instructional
objectives. Integrate student performance data from district/state assessment instruments with electronic
curriculum resources to inform and differentiate instruction for every child.
Objective 1.5: Provide curriculum to ensure personal safety for students in a digital world and Acceptable Use Policies that
specify expectations and rules for students, parents, and teachers.
Objective 1.8: Utilize innovative strategies for the delivery of the foundation curriculum to meet the diverse and personal
learning needs of all students.
