The Royse City ISD Technology Plan's primary focus is on integrating technology with our core curriculum and campus operations. Not only will this will allow us to utilize the highest level of staff and student performance, but it will also lead to increased productivity throughout our district. Our technology plan addresses several goals and components for a successful technology program. These include the integration of technology, professional development for all employees, a high level of community involvement, incorporation of 21st Century Skills, trained and quality personnel, consistent technology access, and a management plan for the infrastructure. Growth challenges do exist for our school district, in the form of new buildings and expansions. This is causing a large strain on our technology department and infrastructure, as they continue to try and keep up with the growth of our schools.
RCISD has formed a District Technology Improvement Committee, which consists of teachers, technology personnel and campus administration. This committee is responsible for performing an assessment of the current condition of our district and schools, and to use that information to help prepare for our future and make or adjust goals as necessary.
RCISD recognizes more opportunities for professional development in the area of technology are essential for technology success. Our district has had several professional development opportunities for technology learning, utilizing technology experts within our own staff. Technology integration is a priority on our campus and our classrooms.
Multiple assessments are used to ensure that learning is student centered and continues to improve. Some of these assessments include: Technology integration planning meetings, material and equipment inventories, STaR Chart data, online assessments, and formal technology skills testing.
