The National Education Technology Long-Range Plan of 2010


Texas Long-Ranged Plan for Technology 2006-2020

Provides recommendations in the areas of•Teaching and Learning•Educator Preparation and Development•Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support•Infrastructure (Texas Education Agency, 2010)


The planning committee has a primary goal of aligning the integration of technology with the district developed goals and objectives.


The district’s three primary objectives are•AISD will demonstrate sustained growth in student achievement•AISD will implement effective student management strategies to improve student behavior•AISD will improve parent/community relations by creating a welcoming environment in all campuses.


Aldine’s Long-Range Plan

Aldine’s first long-range technology plan was written in 1990 in response to the growing use of technology beyond business process databases.


AISD Teaching and Learning

•Instructional technology must be TEKS-based.•Students will select technology appropriate for tasks •PreK-4 students will master grade-level keyboarding skills.•Grades 3-6 must master age-appropriate, computer-based productivity tools.


AISD Teaching and Learning

•Elementary and Intermediate students will receive basic technology application instruction in the computer lab from a qualified technology instructor.•Grades 7-12 students will demonstrate technology proficiency in every subject•Students will demonstrate mastery of curriculum benchmarks by creating products.


AISD Educator and Preparation Development

•Continuing professional development and training sessions throughout the district will be provided on an ongoing basis.•Professional development models will be evaluated quarterly and updated as necessary.•AISD will provide a model for teachers to use in integrating technology in every subject area.


AISD Educator and Preparation Development

Teachers must be trained to use technology in new and creative ways as an instructional and production tool


AISD Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support

The district has established a technology support budget to provide for infrastructure, equipment, training, and support personnel to implement new technologies and assure current technologies are integrated successfully.


AISD Infrastructure Funding is provided by local funds, states technology allotment, and federal funds in the form of FCC’s School and Libraries Division E-Rate Program, as well as occasional grant opportunities


AISD will budget for :

•Growth and expansion of infrastructure so new technologies can be integrated into the network•Replacement of wireless connectivity with wired connectivity for all temporary buildings•Scheduled refresh of campus LANs, beginning with the oldest or most stressed networks •Continued maintenance, replacement, and centralization of technology services at the district’s data center•Equalization of technology services and equipment district-wide.

Evaluation MethodMeeting times for implementation

•Projects meet milestones•Projects have a project planner•Cycle times meet district guidelines


“ Today’s students and many younger teachers are “technology natives.” They have never known a world that did not include personal computers, online social networking, instantly available current information, shared information, music, and video, or constant communication and availability across the globe. Using these and future technologies appropriately and effectively will make a difference for the students of Aldine by addressing their needs for successful living and working in the 21st century.” (Aldine Independent School District, 2009 )
