• Executive Summary
• Jones Valley Middle Schools ACIP call for the
  inclusion of technology within the curriculum. As
  a Title I school, with an underprivileged
  population, our students lack resources vital to
  compete in a global workforce.
• Research suggest technology integration within
  the curriculum framework enhances student
  productivity, competitiveness and self-
  sufficiency to sustain productive members of
  society.

Technology for Teaching and Learning
Yao and Quang (2000) argue that technology
training tends to focus on computer applications
such as word processing, spreadsheets and
databases. Technology for teaching and learning
should be part of the instruction milieu and not
be added as an afterthought activity.

Issue of Concern

• Concern Teachers are not trained to implement
  technology within their curriculum frameworks.
• Projected Concern Solution 1 Provide school wide
  professional development opportunities to
  increase teachers knowledge and ability to turn
  information around for enhanced student learning.

5
Teacher Limitations

• Leh (2005) reveals that teachers admitted they
  did not resist technology per se but agreed that
  they could not fully integrate it into their own
  practices because of the organizational,
  administrative, pedagogical, or personal
  constraints (p. 19).

Project Objectives

• Objectives Student outcomes include anticipated
  goal of 25 increase in student academic gains by
  the end of the 2019-2020 school year.
• Gains to be measured pre technology implantation
  (Fall Scantron Data) to (Spring Scantron Data).
• Project Objectives will contribute to the
  achievement serving as a direct aim for
  accountability and implantation to mastery. This
  project will provide essential skills for our
  students.
• Timeframe Fall 2019 Spring 2020

Societal Changes

• Pierson (2001) recognized that society has
  embraced computer technology and allowed it to
  reinvent the ways in which we create, find,
  exchange, and even think about information.

8
Documentation and Findings Share

• Project documentation includes teacher lesson
  plans, student portfolios and technology standard
  usage during and after implantations.
• Findings will be shared via the school website,
  Birmingham city website all calls, and the US
  Postal Service.

Project Budget

• Cost are 0.00
• All presenters will be free of charge as this
