Executive Summary
The San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) Technology ePlan is intended to cover all aspects of the use of technology in the SAISD for the next three calendar years. The goals and objectives, as well as the mission and vision for technology are aligned with those set by the SAISD Board of Education. Because technology is a moving target, and new and emerging technologies are becoming available daily, the ePlan is intended as a framework upon which we can build, not as an end all. All students and employees of the District will benefit from this plan. To realize the plan, the Board has made the commitment to dedicate a portion of all funds toward the annual total budget for technology. This document represents a work in progress. As the Plan is evaluated, items of need will be added; those that have been completed will be removed.While conditions may have changed both within the District and in the world at large, the essential elements for our successful implementation of technology in schools remain the same. These include:
Access: We ensure that students, staff, parents, and the local community have appropriate, equitable, and convenient access to the uses and tools of modern technology for information handling, communication, learning, instruction, and management in the educational setting (technology infrastructure, equity, currency and access).
Training: We provide training systems to ensure successful use of current and emerging technologies by students, staff, parents, and the community. This training focuses on role-specific applications and high-yield strategies for integrating these.
Support: We maintain and enhance support systems (instructional coaching, technical support, troubleshooting, installation, maintenance, repair, acquisitions, plant services) for the use of technology that will ensure successful experiences by students, staff, parents, and the community (adequacy and timeliness).
Communication: We provide students, staff, parents, and community with a modern and effective communications system and infrastructure which includes a network that links schools, classrooms, libraries, businesses, home, governmental agencies, and others within and outside the District (connectivity).
Technology in the San Antonio Independent School District will continue to play a major role in learning and teaching, in administration and information systems, and in the inclusion of parents and the community in the enterprise of education. At the center of the district's mission is student learning and productivity. Measured by benchmarks of student and staff progress, technology initiatives on each of these three fronts are critical to the district's success with technology and to its overall success in achieving the shared vision.
The Long Range Technology Planning team has developed a flexible and ambitious set of goals for SAISD technology acquisition, implementation, and assessment. During these years, the Team will add representatives of stakeholders from the community and from other departments of the SAISD structure to ensure appropriate representation. The Team's role will include planning for the district information and communications infrastructure and for enhanced support for campus technology decision-making and self-sufficiency. The Team also recognizes the need to integrate technology planning with shared site-based decision-making at each campus. Site-based planning teams will develop campus-level technology audits and recommendations, including plans for special programs and extramural funding, which reflect utilization of technology consistent with the framework of the district plan.
Our general commitments for the upcoming years include:
• Ongoing revision and review of the Long Range Technology Plan,
• Increased and improved client support and empowerment for all SAISD campuses and departments, with special emphasis on expanded infrastructure and connectivity,
• Development of strategies to maintain or reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) in technology while simultaneously upgrading hardware capabilities,
• Continual improvement to administrative and student systems to ensure PEIMS data quality, with an expanded intranet and Internet capability for student support services to ensure effective, efficient, and timely auxiliary, administrative, and record-keeping services (counseling, scheduling, placement, special services, transportation, security, food services, attendance, achievement, discipline, health, and social services). Additional intranet and Internet capabilities will ensure effective, efficient, and timely financial, business, personnel, and plant services (personnel management, calendaring, business operations, acquisitions, fixed assets, textbooks, plant maintenance, data reporting, evaluation, and security services),
• Effective extramural funding programs through grants and partnerships,
• Ongoing instructional initiatives that integrate technology into the District’s classrooms. While campuses will have flexibility in detailed implementation of technology, the district will maintain non-negotiables for both learners and for staff, and
• Constant review and revision of the District’s staff development programs
Needs Assessment
Assessment Process:2.1 The following chart represents the process used to analyze the district technology needs that are addressed in the plan.
This needs assessments seeks to address both process and product. In assessing the process, there are three foci; these include the following: a) Planning, management and Collaboration; b) Implementation evaluation; and c) Professional development.
In assessing the first process item, there are several critical components. Those include meetings with campus technology representatives (CTRs), campus instructional technologists (CITs), as well as collaborative meetings with Curriculum and Instruction Department. Methods and indicators for assessing Planning, Management and Collaboration include on-site observations and formal/informal interviews.
The second process item is implementation evaluation. Components for this item include various activities, alignment to the State’s Long Range Plan for Technology, Campus and Teacher StaR Charts, and the Levels of Technology Implementation (LOTI) framework. Pre-Intervention methods and/or indicators include the district and campus and teacher StaR Charts, and classroom observations using the LOTI framework. Post-intervention methods include the teacher STaR Chart, and observations with the LOTI framework, that will be implemented on an annual basis.
The third process item is Professional Development. Professional development has several components, including curriculum and the technology competency certification plan (TCCP). Methods/indicator that will be used to assess Professional Development include workshop evaluations, formal/informal interviews, on-site observations, and document tracking via the Instructional Technology web site.
However, process is only one part of the needs assessment. The second part is the product that results from the process. In assessing the product, the impact on teaching, learning and administrative tasks is the primary focus. Critical components include frequency of technology use, incorporation of technology and educator to workstation ratio. These are assessed through a variety of indicators, including the Campus and Teacher StaR Charts. Also included are the campus access surveys, a survey assessing technology hardware, completed by campuses on a continuous basis.
Student performance data (e.g. TAKS, TPRI), attitudinal measures, or other indicators will provide information on the long-term impact of the incorporation of technology in student learning and teaching.

Technology Needs:
2.3 The following is a summary of the technology needs and issues identified by the needs assessment.
A comprehensive needs assessment utilizing teacher/student surveys, interviews, focus group sessions, inventories and the Texas Campus STaR Chart was conducted to analyze the current status of technology in the district and determine future needs. Items analyzed included: infrastructure, hardware, software, programs, courses, student achievement, technology resources, staff development, and technical support. Findings from this needs assessment are as follows.
• Infrastructure. The District’s network infrastructure must be able to support responsive access to Internet resources through greater bandwidth, and modern up-to-date equipment, and software. The on-line student assessment programs and grade book program require responsive reliable Internet connectivity. The digital curriculum program or streaming video also requires high level of bandwidth and is reliable. The District must also be positioned to support future voice-over-IP initiatives that will place a telephone in every classroom.
Finally, the District infrastructure must continue to establish a wireless infrastructure to support the multitude of wireless laptops and personal digital assistants (PDAs) being purchased by schools and administrative staffs.
• Hardware. SAISD currently owns more than 19,600 computers that are located in its 92 campuses. Of these computers, over 49% are over five years old and, while still in use, are considered obsolete.
These numbers are tracked and assessments performed through the use of fixed assets data and through a campus self-reporting tool called the Campus Access Survey (CAS). Through fixed assets and CAS we are able to determine where the computers are located, how they are used and their age.
Other significant data is tracked and used when updating the District’s hardware access plan such as the number of labs, the hardware platform, Internet connectivity, etcetera. It is the District’s goal to provide access for all students to current technology, technology that is one – five years old. To meet this goal the District reviews the hardware assessment annually and determines the areas of greatest need. Funding is then allocated to support those areas most in need.
In order to make current technology more accessible, the District is moving toward mobile, wireless technology. This initiative will begin with high schools and the purchase of 33 mobile laptop carts with 24-wireless laptops. These laptops will be shared throughout the campus as the need permits making technology available to students, whenever they are.
Desktop computers will still be used in the areas that are served better through this type of technology such as administrative areas and Career and Technology Labs. In addition, the District is pursuing an initiative to provide a mobile, wireless laptop for every teacher. Most classrooms have computers, but few have a computer that is dedicated solely for teacher use.
As more information is available electronically and more automated resources are implemented, it is becoming critical that every teacher have a tool for accessing that information and those resources. With a mobile, wireless laptop the teacher will have a tool that can be used where they do their work – in the classroom and in the home – and that can be used to support the growing need for professional development.
• Software. Per the Campus Technology Planning Guide (http://itls.saisd.net/initiatives), SAISD has standardized the District
elementary schools on productivity tools (e.g. MS Office) and keyboarding software (e.g. Type to Learn). Continuing in that effort, two other tools remain - graphic organizers and age-appropriate multimedia tools. These are two critical tools for elementary students, as well as K-8, especially in light of the new TAKS.
Graphic organizers for all campuses were purchased in 2004-2005 school year and are currently deployed across the District (http://itls.saisd.net/go).
The district should have standardized applications supporting State and National Technology Applications standards as well as content area connections. Standardizing on appropriate software (e.g. Inspiration/Kidspiration) will allow more efficient and effective District teacher training and support and better software purchasing aligned to TEKS district-wide. This profound need has been exacerbated by the fact that while hardware has been purchased at the campus level, new software specifications exceed the technology now available at campuses.
• Student Achievement. During the period 2002-2003 school year, SAISD was 90% economically disadvantaged in comparison to a state rate of 52%. TAKS scores, while aligned with the state in the economically disadvantage group lagged behind the state scores with 65% passing math, 79% passing writing, 55% passing science, and 86% passing social studies. Groups such as Limited English Proficient students are well behind, and at grade nine only 25% pass TAKS. SAISD has the highest mobility rate of any urban district with 32.3% of students moving during the year (state rate is 21.1%). The four year dropout rate is 8.3%, but special education students dropout at a rate of 17.7% and LEP students at the rate of 11.3%.
• Staff Development. Previous to 2003 school year, professional development in regards to technology professional development has not been focused or aligned to SBEC Standards. As such, in spring 2004, the District chose to administer the Levels of Technology Implementation (LOTI) questionnaire, as well as provide training to unfunded campus technology representatives (who meet monthly), campus principals and instructional coordinators. A detailed set of reports by district and campus is available online at http://itls.saisd.net/loti/reports
The Levels of Technology Implementation (LOTI) provides each teacher, administrator and library media specialist detailed assessment that will help guide professional development in San Antonio ISD. This assessment has been completed for the last 3 years.
Based on the data from the LOTI currently being administered, is that 34% of educators are at Level 0 of the Levels of Technology Implementation (LOTI). Level 0 can be described as follows: Technology-based tools (e.g., computers) are either (1) completely unavailable in the classroom, (2) not easily accessible by the classroom teacher, or (3) there is a lack of time to pursue electronic technology implementation. Existing technology is predominately text based (e.g., ditto sheets, chalkboard, and overhead projector). This is a level lower than the Texas STaR Chart's Early Tech.
For the 2004-2005 school year, however, 34% decreased to 27%, a difference of 7%. At Level 1, the District saw a corresponding increase of 8%, increasing from 13% to 21%. At levels 3, 4, and 5 of the LOTI, the District saw small increases of 1% or more.
In 2003-2004, 17%--compared to 18% for 2004-2005 school year--of staff are at the target technology level of progress in the Texas STaR Chart. This means that while the majority of campuses may claim that they are the "Developing Tech" level of progress, more detailed assessment shows that SAISD is in greater need for targeted professional development than indicated by the Texas STaR Chart data.
This need can be addressed through increased access to hardware, standardized software purchases, and a district-coordinated technology competency certification plan (TCCP). Unfortunately, the TCCP lacks the funding for completion incentives should the entire district participate. Additional survey data collection is available online at http://lms.saisd.net/survey
• Technical Support. The District requires a technical support staff capable of supporting, maintaining, and troubleshooting routers, switches, servers, PCs, MACs, laptops (wired and wireless) and PDAs. This type of equipment is housed at schools and administrative locations. In addition, the technical staff must be able to diagnose and fix district-supported software and solve connectivity issues to Region 20 and application service providers (LightSpan).

Evaluation
Evaluation Process:5.1 Evaluation Process
The purpose of the evaluation is to establish a baseline set of data. The data will be used to align professional development, classroom instructional practices with mandates for ensuring quality, research-based professional development.
The evaluation plan incorporates both quantitative and qualitative data to provide a comprehensive and balanced record of project implementation and of the impact of the use and incorporation of technology in teaching, learning, and administrative tasks. These interventions will be measured against established benchmarks, and the reevaluation will be performed on an annual basis through the use of the Teacher/Campus STaR Charts and LOTI observations. Findings will be posted on the web site, shared with principals at conferences, and publicized at Campus Technology Representative (CTR) Meetings.
The following accountability methods and measures that will be used to evaluate the extent to which activities are effective in:
• Integrating technology into curriculum and instruction; the STaR Chart will be used for this, as will observational frameworks based on the LOTI.
• Increasing the ability to teachers to teach.
• Enabling students to read challenging state academic standards.
• Acquiring and deploying technology and telecommunication services.
• Meeting timelines for implementation.
The SAISD Evaluation Process facilitators will conduct the evaluation and report the findings of the project components using formative (ongoing) and summative (project impact) evaluation methods using indicators adapted from recognized sources.
Benchmarks record and monitor the project’s progress:
• Pre-Intervention survey sets baseline
• Post-Intervention survey measures outcomes and identifies areas of need
• Professional development evaluations record the quality, type, and degree of professional development
• Participants’ electronic portfolios provide rich information regarding the change in the level of use and incorporation of technology
• On-site observations provide ongoing monitoring of plan implementation
• Formal and informal interviews or focus groups of stakeholders and participants measure specific intervention impact.
This plan will be revised on an annual basis as needed but not less than once every three years.
Evaluation Method:
5.2 Evaluation Methods
Data collection and analysis will occur in three areas: a) Process evaluation; b) Product evaluation; and c) Monitoring or formative evaluation to provide technical assistance and guidance for adjustments or revisions of plan strategies. The methods/indicators may include, but not be limited to, those discussed below.
This evaluation seeks to address both process and product. In evaluating the process, there are three foci; these include the following: a) Planning, management and Collaboration; b) Implementation evaluation; and c) Professional development.
In evaluating the first process item, there are several critical components. Those include meetings with campus technology representatives, campus instructional technologists, as well as collaborative meetings with Curriculum and Instruction Department. Methods and indicators for assessing Planning, Management and Collaboration include on-site observations and formal/informal interviews.
The second process item is implementation evaluation. Components for this item include various activities, alignment to the State’s Long Range Plan for Technology, Texas StaR Chart, and the Levels of Technology Implementation (LOTI) framework. Pre-Intervention methods and/or indicators include the district, campus, and teacher StaR Chart, and the LOTI framework as an observational tool. Post-intervention methods include the LOTI Assessment that will be administered as funds permit.
The third process item is Professional Development. Professional development has several components, including curriculum and the technology competency certification plan (TCCP). Methods/indicator that will be used to assess Professional Development include workshop evaluations, formal/informal interviews, on-site observations, and document tracking via the Instructional Technology web site.
However, process is only one part of an evaluation. The second part is the product that results from the process. In evaluating the product, the impact on teaching, learning and administrative tasks is the primary focus. Critical components include frequency of technology use, incorporation of technology and educator to workstation ratio. These are evaluated through a variety of indicators, including the Teacher StaR Chart as pre/post surveys administered annually. Also included are the campus access surveys, a survey completed by campuses on a continuous basis.
Student performance data (e.g. TAKS, TPRI), attitudinal measures, or other indicators will provide information on the long-term impact of the incorporation of technology in student learning and teaching.
