Executive Summary

Technology provides teachers, students, and faculty with the effective productivity tools and extensive resources for increasedlearning in the classroom. Across Socorro Independent School District, new technologies are being utilized in a variety of innovativeways and settings. The Technology Plan prepared by Socorro Independent School District allows teachers to increase theirproficiency levels and integrate technology into the content areas, thus, taking student learning to a higher level. The district planassists campuses in establishing their own campus level technology plan. These plans identify continued emphasis on the integrationof technology for all stakeholders.

The development of this technology plan was undertaken by a diverse group of technology users and planners representing theDistrict, students, and community. The Department of Technology and Technology Committee work hand in hand with district andcampus personnel to ensure that the district's technology plan is successfully implemented.

The planning committee has a primary goal of aligning the integration of technology with the District's goals and objectives. Thesegoals are the following:

- Socorro ISD will demonstrate sustained growth in student achievement by providing optimal learning experiences to maximizestudent successes;- Socorro ISD will implement effective student management strategies that enhance the quality of learning through support,collaboration, training, and communication;- Socorro ISD will support, maintain, and enhance an infrastructure that will optimize the management of necessary information;- Socorro ISD will foster a learning environment equipped with the necessary tools to maximize the use of resources and informationused to improve student achievement; and- Socorro ISD will improve parent/community relations by creating welcoming environments and allowing them to build technologycompetencies necessary to be active participants in their digital student(s) learning.

As Socorro ISD continues to grow, current technologies and services will be extended to new campuses and administrative locations.The District has established a technology support budget to provide for infrastructure, equipment, training, and support personnel toimplement new technologies and assure that current technologies are integrated successfully.

Needs Assessment

Assessment Process:A comprehensive needs assessment was conducted to analyze the current status of technology in the District and to determine futureneeds. Items analyzed included: infrastructure, hardware, software, programs, courses, student achievement, technology resources,staff development, and technical support. As Socorro ISD meets the challenges of the 21st century, the district's priorities based onthe needs assessment as follows:

- Maintaining appropriate staff levels to ensure the efficient operation of district networks and technologies.- Providing additional professional development training for teachers that will promote teaching and learning.- Providing district classrooms with standardized up-to-date technology resources and tools that include computers, projectors,digital/video cameras, interactive technologies and media retrieval systems.- Purchasing, maintaining, and supporting all network related equipment by expanding the district's infrastructure.- Reviewing and standardizing all requested software applications to ensure that they meet the needs for adequate instruction.- Supporting teachers to develop and implement a TEKS-based plan to appropriately integrate technology into all curriculum areasthat will enrich each student's educational and learning experiences.

Existing Conditions:Currently, the District facilitates access to telecommunications and networking services through a WAN infrastructure based on fiber-optics and T1 lease lines district-wide. With over 22,000 desktop computers connected to the network, the following additionaltechnologies and systems are now in place:

Technology Needs:In our efforts to create an engaging educational environment, we are embracing 21st Century learning and transforming theclassroom by providing emerging and interactive technologies wherever possible. The classroom of the future is now here and ismaking a remarkable difference in how teachers teach and students learn. The Socorro ISD technology philosophy is not aboutlearning to use technology but about using technology to learn. Technology has now become integral to the teaching and learningexperience in the sense that it defines and enhances the teaching and learning experience. Technology plays a vital role to betterprepare our students in continuing their education and to assist teachers in implementing curriculum in new and exciting ways. Infollowing this learning methodology, we are creating positive effects on teaching and learning. The following are the elements whichwe are providing for the 21st century classroom.

As the district proceeds to outfit and maintain classrooms with interactive technologies, we need to do the following:

- When a projector in a classroom malfunctions, it will be replaced with a similar model.- When an interactive white board malfunctions, we will replace it with a metallic board and replace the projector with an interactiveprojector. The replaced projector will be kept for re-use.- Any other place where an interactive setup is required, a new installation with an interactive projector and a white metallic board willbe installed.- Portables that need to use interactive boards may check out an interactive projector from the library and use their white boards forprojection.- In new construction, we will be using interactive projectors and new 15 foot metallic boards. These boards will take the place of thebulletin board, the marker board and the interactive white board. This will reduce the amount of components for classroominteractivity which will also reduce the cost of providing technology for these classrooms.

In the year 2012-2013, we will be building an elementary school, a middle school and creating 120 new classrooms for two highschools. We expect that the savings in using the new interactive projectors will be substantial.

Additionally, campuses have interactive devices in each of the classrooms. In a computer lab setting,each elementary school iscomprised of two to three labs with up to 25 computers. For each K-8 and middle school, a computer lab is comprised of three to fourlabs with up to 30 computers. Each high school is comprised of four to five labs with up to 80 computers. The computer labs alsohave network printers and interactive technology for use.

Evaluation

Evaluation Process:Currently, technology usage by students and teachers is increasing. Socorro ISD will complete a comprehensive evaluation of thetechnology plan annually. Key performance indicators will be evaluated quarterly. Reporting of the outcomes will be provided to thesuperintendent of schools, assistant superintendents, and the technology bond committee. In addition, all district campuses will berequired to submit a campus technology plan annually that includes an evaluation element.

According to the Texas STaR Chart, the district is only at the Developing Tech Level in the areas of Teaching and Learning andEducator Preparation and Development. The district will enhance technology trainings for teachers and staff in order to enable themto learn how to integrate technology into curriculum by utilizing project-based activities and collaborative learning. The district hasprovided the STaR Chart results for all district campuses that will be used to assist these campuses and the school district towardmeeting the goals of the District's Long Range Plan for Technology.

Evaluation of the technology plan will be a systematic ongoing process. All aspects of the Plan will be evaluated formally two timeseach year.

The intention of the evaluation will be to make decisions on the impact that technology has on teaching and learning process for allstudents and staff. A report will be given to the Superintendent and the Board of Trustees after each formal evaluation occurs.

Both the Director for Technology Services and the Technology Bond Committee will be actively responsible for updating thetechnology plan in accordance to the Texas Education Code, Section 32.001 and as required by the NCLB Act of 2001, Title II, PartD, Enhancing Education through Technology. The district will continue to submit a revised Technology Plan electronically yearly viathe Texas e-Plan system.

Evaluation Method:Through school administration and well-prepared teachers, the technology initiatives will provide opportunities for students tosucceed in the global workforce through the availability, reliability, and effectiveness of technology use in the classroom. Twenty firstcentury technology such as mobile carts, computers for teachers, libraries, and computer labs, and printers/copiers will enhance theeducational opportunities for students. Through the use of current and cutting edge technology, Socorro ISD must support newlearning opportunities for 21st century learners. Socorro ISD is committed to maintaining its reputation for innovation and forwardthinking, while also maintaining a focus on rigor and differentiation, practices that will create self-directed lifelong learners.

Socorro ISD envisions 21st century learning that will allow students to engage interactively and teach them to think critically andcreatively. Technology will assist all teachers to actively engage all students in the process of learning on a daily basis. Socorro ISDpromotes technological transformation from using paper and pencil, mounted devices such as TVs and telephones, to digital mediaand environments accessed via laptops, desktops, mobile devices, and interactive technologies. Yet, at the heart of it all, remain theindispensable relationships of teacher to student and home to school. Therefore, it is in the context of these relationships that we setout our vision for the next three to five years based on the following premises:

- Effective integration of technology within the curriculum is directly affected by the level of educator preparation, development, andsupport.- Educators training, including face-to-face, online, self-paced, distance learning, community sources (i.e. ESC 19, UTEP, EPCC,conferences), and learning communities (cadres).- Career and Technical Education supports teachers to attain industry-recognized certifications.- The long-term objective partnerships with Career and Technical Education will provide new and existing training opportunities forteachers locally through in-house and contracted vendors.- Instructional support will include District Title I Instructional Coach of Excellence (DICE), Campus State Compensators EducationIntervention Coaches (SCEIC), Teacher on Special Assignment (TSA), Instructional Technologist, and/or Library Media Specialist.- SISD is committed to 100% of teachers and campuses reaching the target level of the Texas STaR Chart assessment to ensureeffective implementation of innovative practices within the classroom.- Additional training will be provided during nine weeks and summer intersessions. Training that requires travel will be provided whenample funding is available and skill attainment/industry certification is required.

Community Education is based on the philosophy that learning is a lifelong process. Socorro Independent School District will providethe opportunities to support the community's engagement into the digital age to encourage parental involvement, increasetechnological accessibility and, in turn, enable the community to become full partners in their children's education. Socorro ISDCommunity members will be provided the opportunities to acquire the technology competencies necessary to be active participants inthe digital age through the following objectives:

- Socorro ISD Community members will be involved in the planning and partnership in the technology competencies.- Increase the community access and awareness of technology and information.- Expand technology classes and training opportunities for parent and community members.- Assess the technology needs of the community twice a year.- Acquire the technology competencies necessary to be active participants in the digital age.

- Maximize the community's educational and personal goals and showcase Socorro ISD as a builder of community learners.

Technology accessibility has been enhanced by the District in the form of high speed wired internet andwireless internet access district wide. The district is currently at a 3:1 computer ratio. Upcoming initiatives such as mobile devices,virtual desktops, and the ability to utilize personal wireless devices will facilitate the District's goal to achieve a 1:1 computer ratio.

With the implementation of these new technologies, a comprehensive network and data security is in place to help ensureconfidentiality, integrity, and availability of district data. Socorro ISD operates a hybrid security management system while abiding bystate and local federal laws. There are also comprehensive disaster recovery measures in place to help support availability andintegrity of district data.

As the district continues to grow, Socorro ISD's objective is to revitalize current legacy systems to utilize new innovative technologiesthrough virtualization and private cloud infrastructure. In addition, Socorro I.S.D is incorporating the use of various Microsoft productssuch as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager which will standardize desktop images with Microsoft Windows and Officeapplications.

Socorro ISD maintains the district database systems and provides web services including database driven web applications,middle-ware, and content management systems. These are designed to support district initiatives to improve education and make apositive difference in students' lives, enhancing interaction between the community and the district as well.
