Lakeport Elementary School
Technology Plan


Plan Criteria/Summary of curricular goals

The plan references other district documents that guide the curriculum and/or establish goals and standards.

Lakeport Elementary School

The documents reviewed include the School Plan To Improve Student Performance and Lakeport Elementary School Technology Plan. Our primary goal is to increase student achievement for all students in both math and language arts, and particularly our English Language Learners who are presently achieving at a level lower than the general population.

Presently, our students receive ninety minutes of intense Success For All reading instruction at their ability level. Many students receive additional SFA tutoring to further support the acquisition of reading skills. Integrating technology into our curriculum will provide additional support for all students in the area of math, both during and after school, with the goal of increasing student achievement.

Features of Technology Training

In-Service Training

      Site based training will take place twice a month on an ongoing basis and will feature two components: a basic instruction for staff members new to the software, and a refresher course for those already experienced with the program.

New Software and Hardware      A multi-level software committee will review and critique new software and hardware to decide if it warrants inclusion in the lab.   The committee will be evaluating the programs and will prepare a database of relevant information for our staff for future reference.

Training Materials

      A wide variety of instructional books, videos, and other materials are to be made available for staff enhancement and development after being introduced at our bimonthly site training.
