Freshmen orientation week requires a final
project and objective exam; freshman Intro to
Computers semester-long class will give
project grades and course grades to measure
overall proficiencies; Project log will gather
data from all teachers assigning technology-
based projects. Campus-wide surveys will
measure skills, access beyond school, and
attitude. Annual 70-question survey will help
evaluate overall technical integration..
September orientation and objective
evaluation of BHS freshmen; fall
orientation and objective evaluation of
LHS students. January survey evaluation
during spring Faculty Technology
Support committee (FTS) and Parent
Technology Support committee (PTS)
meetings; May data collection of
departmental technology project grade
results.
September orientation exam results will guide
us in modifying orientation week's activities;
January's Intro to Computer final grades will
help to modify the course; January surveys will
give us the big picture of people's overall
technical experience and temperament. May
project results will help determine which
departments/teachers need additional support;

Standardized test results will be
matched against original 2000
baseline and each previous year's
results
As test results are provided
by the state or testing agency,
they will be reviewed during
monthly FTS/PTS meetings.
Based on benchmark successes concerted efforts
will be focused where needed; modifications
will be shared with the entire faculty. Results
will be presented by our district curriculum
coordinator at the monthly FTS/PTS meetings.

Project Log data will provide details to
measure our benchmarks by documenting the
teachers, grade level, nature of the assigned
projects, number of students involved,
applications used, the time spent, open-ended
observations, and an over class grade
performance; January teacher and student
surveys will provide additional data on project
quantity and quality.
Project Log will be updated
regularly from September through
June, and posted online for
teachers to review and use for
collaborative efforts; January
teacher and student surveys will be
administered; results will be
reviewed during monthly FTS/PTS
meetings.
Project Log data, as well as being
available online, will be shared with
faculty at each of the four annual training
sessions, and monthly at the Parent
Technology Support (PTS) and Faculty
Technology Support (FTS) meetings.
Suggestions and modifications will be
made at these times. In May we will share
with faculty Project Log, benchmarks,
success, weaknesses
BHS Lab technician Annette
Fewins and LHS DHS
Coordinator Terry Abreu will
maintain the Project Log.
DHS Coordinators and FTS
members will oversee the
administering of surveys, and
