A brief overview of the LEA:
The goal of this technologic plan is to embed the current technological tools into the
instruction focusing in core course education from 7th through 12th grade students.
Through this plan, we believe the students mathematics, english, and science
proficiency will go above and beyond expectations. We also believe that all of our
secondary school students will be college and career ready in terms of level of
technology usage.

Location: The chrome book set will be in all of the core course classes. There will be
a class designated and function as a technology lab.

Students data
We aim to improve all of the students standardized state test scores to 5% each year.
Using the chrome books and the interactive educational software, we plan to evaluate
the students accomplishment using the data gathered monthly. The data will be
evaluated at the data meeting with the selected state holders. Parents, network
manager, computer manager input will be noted and the necessary adjustments will
be made.

Summarize the relevant research and describe how it supports the plan's
curricular and professional development goals.

The plans major curricular is to get all the students engaged in the learning and
personalize the learning as much as possible.
The independent case studies from the university of northern Iowa shows that,
there are at least 10% decrease in drop, fail, or withdrawal rate in the advance
math course after the proper online supplement.
We are confident that the affect will be similar in the secondary education. We
believe that the interest in especially mathematics classes will increase.
According to the study, the recommended online supplement for math classes
is at least three ours. Similar supplement will be adapted for the english and
science classes.

CURRICULUM COMPONENT CRITERIA.

The Plan must establish clear goals and realistic strategy for using
telecommunications and information technology to improve education services.
(Answer at least 2 questions for each subsection below)
Describe teachers' current access to instructional technology and current
use of digital tools.

Teachers currently dont have enough technology and will need chrome books
in their class. So 12 chrome book set will be purchased using the grants and
school funds. The teachers have only the textbook and the online textbook
resources. Along with the chrome books, the online software will be adapted for
all 7-12th grade students.

Describe students' current access to instructional technology and current

use of digital tools. Include a description about the LEA policy, practices,
and/or replacement policy that ensures equitable technology access for
all students.

The students do not have enough online resources to meet the expectations

Describe goals and an implementation plan, with annual activities, for

using technology to improve teaching and learning. Describe how these
goals align to the LEA's curricular goals that are supported by other
plans. Describe how the LEA's budget (LCAP) supports these goals, and
whether future funding proposals or partnerships may be needed for
successful implementation.

The goal of the activities is to individualize the learning with the help of chrome
books and softwares and meet the targeted individual test scores in the state
tests. The software already align with the Arkansas state common core
curriculum. There will be alignment check to make sure all of the objectives will
be covered.
Describe goals and an implementation plan, with annual activities, to
address Internet Safety and the appropriate and ethical use of technology
in the classroom.

Our teachers will be given technology workshop. The network manager will
explain the rules and regulations about the internet and chrome book usage.
The security program will be installed to every single chrome books for
restricted websites and applications. Parent consent form will be needed before
the students touch tot he chrome books.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMPONENT

The Plan must have a professional development strategy to ensure that staff
understands how to use these new technologies to improve education services
(Answer at least 2 questions for each subsection below)

Summary of the teachers' and administrators' current technology

proficiency and integration skills and needs for professional
development.

Administrators have experience but most of the teachers will be new to this
implementation. Administrators and all the teachers will join the professional
developments to be on the same page.
Describe goals and an implementation plan, with annual activities, for
providing professional development opportunities based on your LEA
needs assessment data and the Curriculum Component of the plan.

Along with the network manager, the representatives from the supplement
software will give professional developments. One if the workshop will be
scheduled before the school starts, one will be before the semester break, and
the last one will be at the end of the year. The implementation strategies and
student date will be analyzed ad the best practices will be shared.
 INFRASTRUCTURE, HARDWARE, TECHNICAL SUPPORT, SOFTWARE, AND
ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPONENT CRITERIA
The Plan must include an assessment of the telecommunication services,
hardware, software, asset management, and other services that will be needed
to improve education services.

(Answer at least 2 questions for each subsection below)

Describe the existing hardware, Internet access, electronic learning

resources, technical support, and asset management already in the LEA
that will be used to support the Curriculum and Professional
Development Components of the plan.

There is currently internet access but the speed and network is relatively low.
The school will need a high speed internet and network specifically designated
for the chrome books.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION COMPONENT

The plan must include an evaluation process that enables the school to monitor
progress toward the specific goals and make mid-course corrections in
response to new developments and opportunities as they arise.

(Answer at least 2 questions for each subsection below)

Describe the process for evaluating the plan's overall progress and
impact on teaching and learning.

We will implement the data meetings and data manager will analyze and evaluate the
data. The individual student growth, the grade level growth, the course level growth,
and class growth will be in consideration. The schools overall growth will be evaluated
in the monthly meetings.
Describe the schedule for evaluating the effect of plan implementation,
including a description of the process and frequency of communicating
evaluation results to tech plan stakeholders.

The scheduled meetings will be monthly. In the meeting there will be all of the
stakeholders including the technology manager. The students overall time
