"Long-Range Plan" summary and action plan for me

Vision 2020-Students, parents, educators, and community and school board members can use effective technology to improve the education system. Whether it is to better prepare for the students future, increase awareness of students achievement, individualize students instruction or increased educational decision making processes.
Defining the Need for Change - Growth in technology has changed every aspect of business, government, society and life. These changes will constantly create need for greater knowledge in using technology to better our students' education.
Introducing the 21st Century Learner - Today's students have been using large amounts of technology since a young age. They are technology-savvy and desire to be technologically inclined.
Teacher Voices - Teachers like and need technology use in the classroom. Most said that it was a necessary agent in providing an engaging lesson for their students. Teachers expressed their need for fast, wireless Internet access with professional development time for learning new technologies.
Teaching and Learning - Texas' population is very diverse, and does not allow us for a "one size fits all approach." We must ensure that there are technology opportunities in all facets of their life, to ensure that we are able to stimulate and initiate their learning processes.
Educator and Preparation Development - Teachers must participate in professional learning to gain knowledge and skills and classroom strategies. Teachers need to be aware of new technology and strategies to transform teaching and learning in the classroom.
Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support - Technology leaders, administration and teachers play a key role in ensuring technology is widely used within their schools. Our ultimate goal as teachers and administrators is to ensure that our students are ready for their future. Our students' future plans involve the workforce. We must prepare our students for the technological applications that they will use in their future jobs.
Infrastructure for Technology - In order to ensure that all schools are educating their students equally, we must create high speed connectivity among schools, colleges, and other institutions. This is viable in creating an equitable access to all learners. All districts must have an infrastructure that is safe, secure, current and reliable to make certain success for all students.
Study of Needs - After conducting surveys, findings resulted that need to be addressed immediately to continue to prepare student to learn and work in the 21st Century. Funding needs to be provided to expand the technology infrastructure, persistent leadership in regards to technology, data measurement of technological progress, telecommunications discounts, and software interoperability.
My Action Plan - After becoming familiar with the Long-Range Plan, I need to incorporate as must technology as possible into my classroom and lesson plans. My students need to be prepared for their future, and deserve equal amount of access to technology. I am going to try and encourage administrators to educate all teachers about the Long-Range Plan for technology. I am sure many teachers are unaware of the goals for 2020. If they are unaware, this puts our students at a disadvantage compared to others in different districts.
