Staff Development Needs
More teachers need Staff Development that trains teachers on how the use of technology fits in the classrooms.
Teachers need additional training on how to use, access, and implement technology in the classrooms.
Future Vision and Direction
We would like 80% of the staff, students, and parents integrating available technology in the classrooms and in the
school.
Teachers integrate available technology into the classrooms on a daily bases.
