Describe how a variety of stakeholders from within the LEA and the community-atlarge participated in the planning process.
During the 2014-2015 school year, a committee of parents, community and business
representatives, administrators and teachers was convened to review the current state of
technology in Ysleta. This committee was charged by the district's Facilities Assessment
Committee to identify districtwide technology needs and goals. The charge was, from an
equity and enhancement lens, to examine and assess whether the children in the Ysleta
Independent School District have the same access, experience, and opportunity that
children in newer, fast growing districts have.
Summarize the relevant research and describe how it supports the plan's curricular
and professional development goals.
Summarize the plans major curricular and professional development
outcomes that are supported by research.
Describe and cite the relevant research that supports the plans outcomes.
Describe the connection between the research and the plans goals.
Describe information gathered from site visits, including best practices.
The District Technology Committee completed the needs assessment for this strategic
technology plan over the course of the 2014-2015 school year. This assessment provided
a synopsis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The committee visited
seven (7) Ysleta campuses as well as one (1) non YISD
Model campus in a neighboring district. The YISD campuses had varying levels of need
in terms of technology and infrastructure. While at campuses, committee members
completed walkthroughs of the facilities, interviewed campus administrators and staff,
and documented their findings. Once all visits were completed, the team met, reviewed
and analyzed the data, and prioritized and identified the needs. The needs identified by
the committee align with both the district's Vision 2020 goals as well as the Texas
Education Agency's Long Range Plan for
Technology goals:
Teaching and Learning
Educator Preparation and Development
Leadership, Administration and Instructional Support
