Executive Summary The technology goals for Mission Consolidated ISD are presented in the four major areas established by the State Long-Range Plan for Technology and outlined in the Texas STaR Chart: Teaching and Learning (TL), Educator Preparation and Development (EP), Administration and Support Services (AS) and Infrastructure for Technology (IT). In general, the Educator Preparation (EP) strategies call for assessments and surveys to establish levels of proficiency and areas of need, and reporting of information on the Texas STaR Chart; implementation of the Technology Applications TEKS Grades K-8, as required, and support of the secondary Technology Applications courses; as well as, support of other technologies for departments, classrooms and libraries. The EP strategies also mandate for methods of documenting the proficiency levels of both students and staff to address the required standards. Professional development is a major focus of the entire plan predicated on the shared belief that to increase the technology skill level of the students, it is necessary to increase the technology proficiency of the classroom teacher; and, to encourage the classroom teacher, it will be necessary to also increase the administrative level of proficiency. All the suggested staff development activities require the establishment, maintenance and support from the district through careful management of resources. Review and analysis of the Campus STaR chart, reporting of campus status on the Campus STaR chart, and 100% participation by all teachers and administrators are significant goals of the plan. Strategies for Educator Preparation continue to address the need to provide training for all educators and support staff by all available means, including online and face-to-face sessions. Incentives, stipends and other rewards support the efforts of individuals who participate. This strand also addresses the need to document levels of proficiency and use of technology for support of the new Professional Development and Appraisal System (PDAS). The expected walk-through from Campus Principals and Central Office personnel initiative will be used for documentation levels of proficiency, an online staff development initiative in conjunction with the Career and Technology program to provide students and staff opportunities to receive three levels of industry certification. MCISD will continue to provide staff development through distance education to maximize classroom time for teachers. Training that may lead to certification, for campus technicians, secretaries and clerks will be provided to increase the skill levels of these critical positions. Teaching and Learning (TL)objectives and strategies address the needs to increase the technology proficiencies of both students and educators, to integrate technology into all areas of teaching and learning, to ensure accessibility for all students, to investigate use of all technologies as a means of providing learning opportunities and to provide for community use. Career and Technical Education students will be able to demonstrate and enhance their technology skills by participating in our campus career fairs as well as participate in regional and state competition through their club/organizations. Strategies for Leadership, Administration and Support Services call for planning for technology from all district, campus and classroom committees. This strand also addresses the need for integration of technology into instructional management and administration. It documents the establishment of district policies that focus on issues of access and use by all groups. As a means of increasing parental involvement, an increased emphasis on the creation and maintenance of the teacher web pages is a significant objective. Mission CISD has over 2000 educators and staff who require professional development and training. Although the levels of technology proficiency average to Advanced Tech, much still needs to be done to reach Target Tech. Recognizing the Local and State funding sources may not be sufficient for the District's needs; the Infrastructure strand includes seeking other funding sources and partnerships with public and private entities. Mission CISD voters showed their support for the local schools and passed a $57 million dollar bond election. Some of the money was used to establish the network infrastructure and properly equip two new campuses, Escobar Rios Elementary and R.Cantu Jr. High School and two new fine arts centers. Some of the funding was used for renovations of existing campuses. Establishing the infrastructure at all campuses and providing appropriate student and teacher workstations is an action area that has seen great improvement. Technology money from local, state and federal funding sources has been used to create a very robust infrastructure. To maintain the current level and progress to Target Tech will require continued commitment from all parties. In recognition of the needs of the district that require high levels of funding, other sources (state and federal grants, Universal Service Fund Discounts, collaborative projects, etc.) have been sought. Construction of new facilities is planned and will be supported through money from an approved Bond election, through ERate funding and other funding sources.



Needs Assessment Assessment Process: Mission CISD uses a variety of methods to determine district and campus technology needs. Parts of the planning process have been in place since the first Technology Long-range Plan was written in 1976. The current Long-Range Planning Committee (LRPC), composed of administrators, campus principals, classroom teachers, and support staff, is charged with yearly review of the Technology Plan. The District Technology Advisory Committee, a subcommittee of the LRPC, and Campus Technology Planning Committees serve as resources for the gathering of information and technology needs assessment. On-line surveys and paper surveys are currently used to assess needs for professional development and skill levels of staff. Online staff development through "Atomic Learning.com", assists in the development of the technology skill levels of staff. Using an initiative that began in 2006, Mission CISD continues to assess and improve the technology skill levels of all staff members through prescriptive pre-tests, assigned online training and post-tests. Interviews with campus principals and department chairs are also conducted to determine technology training, software and hardware needs. Progress toward mastery of the SBEC Technology Applications Standards for all Educators will be reported on the Campus STaR Charts. The curriculum coordinators provide information on program needs for their respective programs; including the core curriculum areas, Bilingual education, Migrant education and Special education. Departments that provide student support services and human resources are surveyed annually to determine their needs. Other committees involved in the process of needs assessment are the District Educational Improvement Council, the Facilities Committee, and the Technology Advisory Committee. These committees meet at least twice yearly to review the district goals, STaR Chart data and Long-range Plan for Technology, and to identify district needs. The Technology Advisory Committee also addresses the technology goals of the DEIC District Improvement Plan to ensure that they are included in the District Long-range Plan for Technology. Network and infrastructure needs are determined through an assessment of program requirements by the appropriate support departments.

Existing Conditions: All Mission campuses complete the Texas STaR Charts yearly, as required. Analysis of the data for this plan reveals the Mission CISD remains above the state and region in many areas; but; has not reached Target Tech in any category. Every category has potential for growth; however, Educator Preparation and Teaching and Learning indicate the greatest need. Through funding from many sources, a robust infrastructure is in place on all campuses. Procedures for replacement and for repositioning equipment have been established. Computer hardware is typically repositioned every 3 years; while older hardware is discarded every 6 years. A varied staff development program is on-going. Mission CISD is providing cellular services for district employees. An initiative to provide a combination of push to talk and cellular services to different departments has been implemented. These departments include; Transporation Department (Bus drivers), Maintenance Department, Fixed Assets, Technology Department, and key Central Office and campus administrators. Currently, Mission CISD has 22 schools with 18 high speed fiber connections terminating at our central facility, the Professional Development Center (PDC). We have a (235 Mbs) DS3 Telecommunication line going out from the core (PDC) to the ISP. Three non-instructional sites are connected by wireless connections; the rest connect to the PDC by fiber. Services that run through our network infrastructure are listed below. * A/C Controls * Internet Access * District Time Clocks * Food Service Point-of-Sale Stations * Student Information Systems * Network Management * Telephone * Video Conferencing * Security System Surveillance Cameras/DVR System * Region One Services * Cellular Services Each of the 22 schools has a Main Distribution Frame (MDF) which is equipped with a Cisco Catalyst core switch (Model #6000, 6509 or 4507). Each school also has from 3 to 12 intermediate distribution Facilities (IDFs). The hardware varies in the IDFs (Cisco Catalyst 2948, 3548, 3524, 4003, 4006 and 4507). All classrooms have Internet access. Most classrooms have up to 8 computers for student use. All campuses have computer



labs. All offices have Internet access. All teachers and administrators have email accounts. All campuses, and the Newcomers Academy, now have a Smart Lab that is equipped with a video projector, digital whiteboard, digital tablets and large plasma screen. The teachers are becoming well-prepared for the use of technology.Over 350 teachers had participated in the Intel Teach to the Future Staff Development initiative. In an average year, the district offered from 75 to 150 hours of technology staff development at the Professional Development Center (PDC). Approximately 107 hours of staff development occurred at the PDC. Most of these sessions were taught by district staff. Other sessions were led by consultants. The current staff development program includes a series of online courses that will provide training in the basic skills (Internet Computer Core Competencies, Microsoft Office skills, and Integrating Technology in the Classroom.) Teachers who complete the training will be certified by the district as having met the SBEC Standards for Educators. At least 700 teachers and administrators will participate in this opportunity to receive training on-line this year. The goal is to have all teachers and administrators participate in the program within the next three years. Additional training sessions will be offered at the Professional Development Center and documented online. Mission continues to participate in every opportunity to assess student progress online. The Office of Assessment and the Information Systems Department have provided and are continuing to provide staff development on data analysis for improving student success. To further assist campuses in the management and analysis of student data, the position of Testing Strategist has been added to each campus personnel roster. Mission CISD is actively participating in a curriculum development initiative with Region One. All administrators and teachers have been trained to create and submit lesson plans online through a program supported by 10 Regional Service Centers. The resources developed are also being used for benchmark testing. Mission has adopted the Technology Applications curriculum offered by Learning.com to assess and address the Technology Applications skills for students. This will be used for students in Kindergarten through Grade 8. Technology Applications courses and Career and Technology courses are offered at all secondary campuses. Both high school campuses offer at least four Technology Applications courses for students. Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR-UP) are supported at both high schools. This year, Mission has partnered with both Region One Educational Service Center and the University of Texas Pan American to provide these services to students. The Career and Technology department offers dual-enrollment classes in partnership with South Texas College The Gifted and Talented program also offers dual-enrollment classes in partnership the University of Texas Pan American. Many of our campuses participate in virtual field trips and other video conferencing events. There is also a video conferencing project with the University of Houston Health Science Center that provides a clinic located at Cantu Elementary. This serves our community by providing access to health care providers that might not be available otherwise. These partnerships will continue to be supported. Staff development for all departments is occasionally offered through the video conferencing system. Connection to TETN conferences and other opportunities through Region One Educational Service Center are provided at our Professional Development center or at campus sites. Staff development from our Professional Development Center is also offered to the campuses by district departments and consultants. Campuses use the video conferencing equipment to participate in distance learning events, TETN Conferences, and support of the University of Houston Health Science Center's partnership. Mission CISD has a very aggressive plan to build and maintain an infrastructure and provide connectivity service to all campuses and sites. As a result of the 2006 Bond initiative, the district built two new schools, two fine arts centers at the existing high schools and to renovate several existing campuses. Construction for these facilities is slated to be completed by December 2008. In addition the 2008 Bond initiative will add one more elementary school and renovations/additions to several existing campuses. These initiatives will require additions to the existing network infrastructure to provide connectivity, expansion of services, and upgrades for the future. The proposed services are outlined below.

Technology Needs: The following district initiatives have been established by the Site-Based Decision Making Committee for the 2010-2011 school year: review of the district Long-range Plan for Technology to address and support the District's administrative and instructional needs; provision for additional personnel to support curriculum integration, improved technical assistance, networking, programming, maintenance and repair, and Intranet/Internet services; implementation of district technology initiatives through bond, state technology, e-rate, Federal Stimulus Funds and other funding sources; additional activities to encourage curriculum integration and support technology staff development. This year, the Mission CISD Board of Trustees reviewed the projected growth of the district and the current state of the campuses to determine if the district should take advantage to the Instructional Facilities Allotment funding program. Mission voters showed their support for growth in the district by passing a 2008 bond election for $58 million dollars. This comming



year administration and preperations have been made for the use of Federal Stimuls Funds for Mission CISD. Through Erate funding, the Infrastructure, Telecommunications, Internet Access and Internal Connections for any new sites will be provided. Additionally, Erate funding will be requested to provide for the remodeling and updating of the infrastructure at other campuses: Alton Elementary, Veterans Memorial High School, Salinas Elemtary, Mims Elementary, Mission Jr. High, Roosevelt Alternative School, Byran Elementary, Castro Elementary, Marcell Elementary and Pearson Elementary. E-rate funding for Telecommunications and Internet access will requested for all eligible entities district wide. These projects will also require updating the central site, MCISD Professional Development Center, to support the new facilities to be constructed including renovations. Included in the updates for the central stie are: core routers, edge router, core switches, servers using VMware, video conferencing points, cabling and exchange 2010 e-mail servers. All campuses, as required, submit their STaR Chart survey data on-line every year. An analysis of the aggregate data reveals the following continuing needs: -- Teachers need additional training to increase their comfort-level with technology. -- Campuses need to continue addressing the integration of technology in the classrooms. -- Students need to continue improving their skills. -- Secondary Campuses need to continue to provide for the new Technology Applications courses. -- Departments need to provide for acquisition of equipment and software to address the needs of their programs. -- Additional support personnel are needed at campus and district levels. -- The District needs to increase community access to district technology resources.
