Summary of current technology needs on our campus:
Bailey is in need of new computers in the one lab we have. Most of the computers in this lab are at end of life. Bailey is also in need
of another computer lab for general computer

Staff Development Needs
Staff needs more professional development opportunities to learn about technology and ways to implement the technology TEKS into
the core classroom curriculum. Staff does not participate in online staff learning and needs training to feel comfortable with
participation. Since Bailey only has one lab available for general computer use, and these computers are end-of-life, teachers are
reluctant to sign up to complete activities using the computer lab because of the unreliability. An upgraded lab would encourage
teachers to seek training to implement differentiated lessons through the use of motivational technology tools.
Future Vision and Direction
In the next three years, Bailey’s envisions a campus with two reliable computer labs available for general use. Each core teacher will
complete a minimum of one WebQuest project designed to improve technology skills such as use of PowerPoint, Excel, and research.
Student scores on the Technology Literacy Assessment will improve along with overall student achievement.
