Executive Summary
Little Cypress-Mauriceville C.I.S.D. is located in the rural northeast corner of Orange County, Texas and encompasses approximately 102 square miles. The district faces the problem of students who do not have access to libraries, theaters, or museums available in larger cities. Because of the differences between the socio-economic backgrounds and cultural attitudes, students have a wide span of computer skills and exposure. Teachers in the district also have diverse experience with the use of computers and will need an intensive training program to improve their skills and confidences in order to design projects and integrate technology into the curriculum. We intend to focus on these needs by addressing these goals: 1) Incorporate technology as an integral part of administrative services at Little Cypress-Mauriceville C.I.S.D. 2) Enhance academic achievement of Little Cypress-Mauriceville students through the use of current and appropriate technology in teaching and learning. 3) Provide staff, students, and the community with professional development and opportunities to utilize emerging technologies. And 4) Ensure that the technology infrastructure is implemented and future needs are assessed within the framework of the technology plan.We will meet these objectives by providing a technology - rich environment at each of the Little Cypress - Mauriceville C.I.S.D. campuses. A structured staff development model will be implemented to improve the expertise of faculty and staff in the use of technology. Campus Improvement Committees will work to implement the Technology Application TEKS. The district will aggressively pursue local, state, and grant funding of the technology program.
Expected outcomes for K-12 will be an improvement in higher level thinking skills, an improvement in normed and criterion referenced tests, and a widening of the base of knowledge of students from all socio-economic backgrounds. Emphasis will be placed on building a presence on the World Wide Web that informs the community of district offerings, helps staff and teachers access valuable resources and motivates students to succeed. The following strategies will be implemented to accomplish these goals:
Goal 1: Incorporate technology as an integral part of administrative services at Little Cypress-Mauriceville CISD.
Strategies
1.1 Integrate technology into instructional management and administration
1.2 Expand community access to school information through technology
Goal 2: Enhance academic achievement of Little Cypress-Mauriceville students through the use of current and appropriate technology in teaching and learning.
Strategies
2.1 Develop strategies to meet Performance Descriptions for students in the TEKS and to establish technology proficiencies for educators.
2.2 Incorporate technology use into the personnel appraisal system, where appropriate
2.3 Use distance learning and distributed learning for expanding curricular offerings and meeting the needs of homebound and other students.
2.4 Provide access by staff and students to the best available electronic information resources in classrooms, libraries, and other appropriate sites.
Goal 3: Provide staff, students, and the community with professional development and opportunities to utilize emerging technologies.
Strategies
3.1 Provide opportunities, incentives, and support for educators to develop model practices using technology.
3.2 Enhance technology curriculum offerings for students (6th thru 12th grade).
3.3 Design and implement educator development, on site and by distance and distributed learning, to meet expectations for technology proficiencies by educators.
3.4 Teachers will demonstrate progress through the four technology competency levels (Entry, Adaptation, Integration and Innovation).
Goal 4: Ensure that the technology infrastructure is implemented and future needs are assessed within the framework of the technology plan.
Strategies
4.1 Coordinate all funding sources to achieve Technology Plan goals.
4.2 Provide just-in-time technology support.
4.3 Provide access to appropriately configured workstations to students and staff in libraries, offices, and in other work areas, ensuring accessibility for disabled students and staff.
4.4 Upgrade electrical wiring to support existing and future technology equipment.
Needs Assessment
Assessment Process:Needs assessment consisted of:
Campus teams completed the Campus STAR Chart using information gathered from teachers, students, administrators and community.
Teachers completing survey of needed technology staff development in order to meet Adaptation level of the Technology Competencies adopted by the district.
Review of Technology equipment inventory for old/obselent equipment.
All campuses administrators had their staff and students complete the TAGLIT surveys.
High School administration, staff and students complete enGauge Surveys.
High School teachers and Mauriceville Elementary conducted classroom observations to determine level of technology integration and participated in workshops on data analysis of their results.
Existing Conditions:
The age of existing computers and the
future loss of Telecommunication Infrastructure Board funds emphasize
the need for additional funding of technology at the district level.

The district's infrastructure is currently at the Target Tech level
except for the availability of telephones in every classroom. The
capability of adding a phone in every classroom is in place since the
district has implemented an IP Telephony system district wide.
While technical support is adequate, there is no instruction
support available for teachers who are trying to implement technology
into their curriculum.
With the loss of TIF monies, the Technology Department will be
unable to upgrade servers and switches to maintain the current level in
the future.
STAR Charts indicates that the majority of LCM Campuses are at
Advanced Tech in Educator Preparation, Administration and
Infrastructure for Technology. The Teaching and Learning indicators
shows that we are at the Developing Tech level.
Technology Needs:
Access to technology must be available to
all students, K through 12th grade. We should incorporate multimedia
tools that address all learning styles into every grade level. Through
the aggressive pursual of grant funding, LCM CISD ratio of students to
computers is currently 3: 1. While this meets the State Long-Range Plan
for Technology 1996-2010 goal of a 3:1 student - computer ratio and a
1:1 teacher-computer ratio, when we examine the age of the computers
gives us the following student-computer ratios:
Schools Computers Computers including
< 3 years old >3 years old
Elementary 7.8:1 3.4: 1
Middle 5.7:1 2.4: 1
High School 10:1 3.25:1
As computers become available to students and teachers, we must
make provisions to ensure that both groups receive the training they
need to be successful users of technology. A recent survey shows the
greatest need for teacher training to be in the development of computer
curriculum and in the integration of technology into the classroom. The
school must provide the opportunity for training and the incentive for
teachers to take advantage of the training and incorporate technology
into their classroom curriculum. Research has shown that integration of
technology into the curriculum can only occur by shifting the classroom
from a teacher-centered to a learner-centered environment.
Instructional Technology Specialist are need on each campus to provide
teachers with the instructional support they need in order to integrate
technology into their curriculum.

The plan will be review yearly by the district technology director and the district improvement committee to evaluate progress of the district in meeting the plan goals and objectives. The technology plan will be updated yearly to add new requirements and remove completed objectives.
Evaluation strategies for acquisition and installation of technologies and telecommunications services.
Each Campus Improvement Committee (CIC) will evaluate the LCM Technology Plan to determine if the acquisition and installation of technology infrastructure and equipment meet campus needs. LCM will pursue all available technology funding (i.e. grants and E-rate). LCM Network Specialist will monitor network response time and plan for telecommunication services upgrades.
The goals,objectives and the strategies and are designed to insure that the LCM Technology plan goals are achieved and the performance indicators that will be used for evaluation
Findings of the Technology committee will be presented to the board during the budget planning workshop.
Evaluation Method:
Evaluation strategies to ensure effective technology staff development efforts and technology integration into the curriculum.
LCM uses technology staff development model that has been developed
by the Brazos-Sabine Connection consortium. This model provides three
levels of technology staff development. The foundation level provides
teachers with a notebook computer. Participants in the foundation level
commit to complete 17 two-hour training modules over seven technology
areas. Foundation Academy participants keep logs that reflect the time
spent at home using the computer, the time that they use technology in
the classroom on administration applications and the time that they use
technology in the classroom on integration activities. The Integration
academy participants attend staff development activities that cover
learning theories, learner-center project development, and technology
integration strategies. The third level of staff development, the
administrator academy, provides administrators with skills for
integrating technology into their job as well as experience in
evaluating technology integration in the classroom. LCM also
participates in the TIF tech training for administrators, teachers, and
support personnel. All LCM teachers are required to complete an
Individual Technology Plan in which they evaluate their technology
implementation level and design a staff development program for meeting
a technology growth plan.
