Future Vision and Direction
We have a campus goal of increasing instruction and rigor in all subjects (Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Art,
Music, and P.E.) using online applications and software. We also would like to use software in supporting emerging and struggling
readers, and increasing mathematical fluency. Teachers integrate available technology into the classroom curriculum on a daily basis.
Campus Improvement Plan Alignment
Three years from now at Maplewood School, you will see all teachers using their laptops on a regular basis to collaborate, create and
communicate. Teachers will regularly use their teacher web pages and school web site and other online tools to keep parents and
students informed. Parents will be trained to access the online gradebook and other resources for information about their child. Every
grade level will have will have integrated multimedia systems with document cameras and other interactive tools. Teachers will use
online curriculum resources, and integrate technology into their instruction.
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 1.4: Develop strategies to monitor and document progress of integration of technology into curricula and
instruction and to monitor and report student mastery of the Technology Applications TEKS to TEA.
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.
