Tech Plan Evaluation

Evaluation:

To facilitate the development of the plan, and to ensure that all areas of Granbury ISD are considered, district and campus technology committees will be utilized to assist in the needs assessment and the development of district/campus technology goals/objectives/activities respectively. The intention of the evaluation is to make informed decisions about technology and its impact on student achievement.

Surveys, records of staff development, student success, inventory of software and hardware, annual STaR Chart results, feedback from teachers, campus and district technology committees, and the community, and administrative reports will all be used to determine if we are meeting the goals of the Granbury ISD Technology Plan.
