District Technology Plan

"MISD Technology Goal
Infuse 21st Century skills throughout the District integrating technology as a tool for problem-solving and creativity."

The Mesquite ISD seeks to fulfill the goal of infusing 21st century skills through the availability of student computers, projectors, interactive whiteboards, and various other technological devices. In addition to this, our district offers a plethora of staff development opportunities (one of which I will be co-teaching beginning this fall). To encourage teachers to participate in these opportunities teachers are offered a small stipend paid twice yearly.

Throughout the year surveys are conducted to make sure that technology inclusion is having its intended effect - increased student productivity and achievement. In addition to this our district relies heavily on the results of the STaR Chart to evaluate where our district is improving and how we can do better. In fact, just this evening I had the wonderful opportunity to have a conversation with our superintendent about our district's technology plan. She reaffirmed our commitment to reaching the state plan as quickly as possible and how the STaR Chart is helping us accomplish this goal. Beyond just this we are using the information from the STaR Charts to write our campus improvement plans.
