Technology Integration/ Reading Scores Database

Project Goals

• Ultimate goal of this project is to have scores
  computerized in one place
• This project will help teachers plan for all
  students in a more efficient manner
• I would ultimately like to have this be a system
  for all elementary teachers in the district to
  use.

Description

• This project will be a database for all teachers
  to use as a way keeping all student reading test
  scores in one central location
• Hopefully this project will be in place at the
  beginning of the next school year.
• This project will not only be helpful at the
  beginning of the year. It will also help us as a
  staff to plan for reading strategies that need to
  be in place in our building and district wide.

Project Implementation

• Strengths of this program
• have all reading information for each child in
  one central location
• allow for the staff to have information available
  at the beginning of the year
• allow for the staff to have a complete picture of
  how our school is doing as a whole
• Weaknesses
• this project will need the combined efforts of
  all staff members involved with reading
• the initial installation of this program will
  take some time and perhaps the aid of a
  para-professional during the summer hours.
• there will have to be a commitment by all
  teachers using this program to update the records

Technology

• New technology being used
• a newly created data-base and the relatively new
  computers provided to all teachers
• Standards being adopted
• a database for all reading scores in a central
  location
• CARE--Computers Aiding Reading Education

Team/Resources

• The only resource that I can see being allocated
  is for a para-professional to aid in the initial
  set up of this program during the summer
• people involved will be secretary for database
  information, classroom teachers, reading support
  teacher and paraprofessionals
• the equipment used will be teachers computer and
  central database
• the location will be school office, and teacher
  classroom
• support will be needed from central office to
  supply the database, our district technology
  coordinator who will approve of the adopted
  database, and our web-master who will support our
  efforts to get it on our web-site for other
  districts to view and use if they would like

Procedures

• the procedure to implement this will be training
  the teachers on how to put information into the
  database and possibly how to use the database
• after the initial input, then teachers will have
  to update it when new testing data becomes
  available.
• we will then use this program to plan for reading
  strategies in our bldg.

8
Schedule

• my schedule for getting this program up and
  running is August of 2001 when the secretaries
  have the database with student information up and
  running.
• before August, I will be collecting data,
  training teachers in the use of spreadsheets and
  databases and talking about this project so that
  teachers will not be hit with this when they
  return as another something to do------but will
  look forward to having this information at their
  disposal

Current Status

• Progress thus far
• designing a form that will include all pertinent
  information
• talking to district technology director as far as
  computerizing this information
• polling some teachers about the need--they are
  excited
• thinking of ways to share this with other
  buildings in our district
