Evaluation of Action Plan Planning
STaR Chart	2011 STaR Chart results should indicate improvements from "Developing Tech" for the areas of Teaching and Learning and Educator Preparation and Development while continuing to improve in the areas of Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support and Infrastructure for Technology.
Continuous evaluation of Campus Improvement Goals for Technology	The Site-Based Decision Making Team will continuously evaluate the progress of the CIP to ensure progress in all areas, but focusing particularly on technology for learning.
Professional Development Sessions	Participants will complete a survey at the end of each session to evaluate the value of the session and to leave comments for strengths and improvements. Each session will also end with a short quiz for teachers to measure knowledge gained from sessions. Teachers and administrators will require 20 hours of professional development per year with at least 10 of those hours being in the area of technology.
Ongoing Online Surveys	Administrators, teachers, parents, and students will participate in online surveys regarding technology use in the school and home.
