Professional Development

Our school has many crutches that we lean on at our school. We have some who pulls most of our TAKS and DBA data and gives us copies of how our students are doing. This makes us less likely to access this data and use it through our technology resources.

I believe we can construct a professional development that will give our teachers hands on experience in collecting and analyzing their data. We can use all of the data that is at our fingertips such as the CIP, TAKS/DBA scores, and the Star Chart. We can teach them how to access and analyze this data.

A developmental session can also be taught on how to identify trends and strategies that will help them affect the learning of their students. There are significant trends that when students are able to learn in ways that are relevant to them and their style of learning they drastically improves their desire to learn. Technology is a constant avenue our students drive down every day and we must teach them how to navigate the technology to increase their ability to become productive students and citizens.
