Staff Development Needs
As reflected by the results of the teacher survey, there is low participation in technology at our campus. Many of our staff members
desire to increase integration, but lack basic knowledge of software and hardware for such changes to take place. Staff development
in basic technology tools is a necessary component of this change. Integration modeling by successful teachers would also create a
heightened awareness of the possibilities, along with the necessary encouragement needed for integration to take place. Time,
location of training, along with frequency of follow-up training needs to reflect convenience for implementation to be successful.
Additional professional staff located at Menchaca will benefit facilitation of increases of training, which is in the plans for the near
future.
Future Vision and Direction
Menchaca is planning to include a technology position that would assist the campus in troubleshooting, minor maintenance, limited
student assistance in the lab and classrooms and general technology logistics. In addition, we will begin scheduling regular afterhours on-site staff training in basic computer skills and procedures. An additional focus will be to reallocate equipment to areas of
greatest need and acquisition of much needed hardware. Once staff training begins to take place and access to equipment increases, a
plan to target challenge areas of student needs will be implemented. This plan should be visited bi-annually to help remain on target
and in order to adjust plan components as necessary.
