What we believe...
|
|
The Long-Range
Plan for Technology, 2006-2020, states that Today’s students are
technology-savvy, feel strongly about the positive value of technology,
and rely upon technology as an essential and preferred component of every
aspect of their lives. Today’s students need access to life-changing
tools that are available for their use before they walk into a school
building. With different expectations, these learners require a
significant, immediate shift in teaching methodology.
|
|
The fundamental
goal of the Long-Range Plan for Technology is to enhance student
learning through technology. In order to achieve this goal, Fort
Stockton ISD believes educators must first have the technology skills and
competencies needed to prepare the 21st century student for the 21st
century work force. FSISD believes all educators must acquire basic
technology proficiencies and demonstrate that they are technology
literate with the required skills to teach their students technology proficiencies to acquire information, solve
problems, and communicate using technology. The Fort
Stockton ISD Technology Plan (2008-2011) reflects the aforementioned
technology skills ideology for employees.
|
|
Fort Stockton ISD is committed to students by providing a
curriculum richly integrated with technology, and will achieve this goal
through the following points:
- Providing every classroom teacher with
technological devices such as computers, tablet PCs, document
cameras, projectors, printers, digital cameras,
scanners, and AV carts. TAKS
software packages such as Grand Central Station, A+ Learning,
Sleek, Renaissance Learning, Performance Power and United Streaming
aid classroom teachers to teach their students the skills and
knowledge needed to pass the TAKS test.
- Providing every campus with current
electronic technologies in the Main Distribution Frames and the Intermediate
Distribution Frames to utilize the existing fiber-optic
infrastructure to its fullest.
- Helping our educators acquire the
technology skills they need to teach their students the Technology
Applications TEKS, by providing the staff a technology competency
certification program which will give them the tools they need to
teach in a technology-infused classroom.

What is nTLB?... ...History of nTLB
|
|
|
nTLB or "TickleB",
is an acronym for " No Teacher Left Behind ". It was
devised as a "Fun-Filled" and enjoyable technology training
time for teachers and community members to come together to hone their technology
skills.
nTLB has evolved
into a Teacher Technology Competencies Certification Program
(TTCCP) designed to bring all FSISD teacher's technology skills up
to a competency level equivalent to the 8th grade Technology
Application TEKS. The trainings consist of detailed 2-hr workshops
designed to teach educators needed technology skills to help facilitate
technology integration into their classrooms.
Although teacher training has been offered in Fort Stockton
4 days a week all summer long for the past 5 years, this is the FIRST YEAR technology competencies are a
requirement for teachers and administrators at
Fort Stockton Schools.

|
|
|
|
|
|
The Program...
|
|
|
The Fort Stockton
Independent School
District will initiate in the fall of the 2007-2008 school year, a technology competencies
certification program for educators . The purpose of this program is to
certify our staff with an eighth grade competency level in technology, as
described by the 8th Grade
Technology TEKS. Fort
Stockton Independent
School District
believes this competency level is needed by educators so they can
effectively teach the Technology Application TEKS.
|
|
|
|
TTCC Program must be
completed by March 1, 2010 for all teachers employed by August 13,
2007. Any existing FSISD teacher and new teachers employed by August
13, 2007 will have 3 calendar years to complete the certification
program. New employees for the 2008-2009 school year
will have 2 calendar years to complete the TTCC Program. All
employees, existing and new, must be certified by March 1, 2010, or face
contract non-renewal. Thereafter, all new employees must have the
TTCC Program completed by contract renewal time of the first year of
employment; failure to complete such certification by this date can be a
basis for non-renewal.
