Executive Summary Technology provides teachers, students, and faculty with the effective productivity tools and extensive

resources for increased learning in the classroom. Across Socorro Independent School District, new

technologies are being utilized in a variety of innovative ways and settings. The Technology Plan

prepared by Socorro Independent School District allows teachers to increase their proficiency levels and

weave technology into the content areas, thus, taking student learning to a higher level. The district plan

assists campuses in establishing their own campus level technology plan. These plans identify continued

emphasis on the integration of technology for all stakeholders.

The development of this technology plan is undertaken by a diverse group of technology users and

planners, representing the district, the students, and the community. The Department of Technology and

Technology Committee work hand in hand to ensure that the district‟s technology plan is successfully

implemented.

The planning committee has a primary goal of aligning the integration of technology with the District‟s

developed goals and objectives. These goals are:

Socorro Independent School District will demonstrate sustained growth in student achievement by

providing optimal learning experiences to maximize student successes;

Socorro ISD will implement effective student management strategies that enhance the quality of

learning through support, collaboration, training, and communication;

Socorro ISD will support, maintain, and enhance an infrastructure that will optimize the

management of information necessary;

Socorro ISD will foster a learning environment equipped with the tools necessary maximizing the

use of resources and information to improve student achievement;

Socorro ISD will improve parent/community relations by creating welcoming environments and

allowing them to build technology competencies necessary to be active participants in the digital

age.

As Socorro ISD continues to grow, current technologies and services will be extended to new campuses

and administrative locations. The district has established a technology support budget to provide for

infrastructure, equipment, training, and support personnel to implement new technologies and assure

that current technologies are integrated successfully.

Purpose

Socorro Independent School District has prepared this plan to articulate a common vision for technology

at all levels and identify the strategies that will help teachers use advanced technology efficiently and

effectively. Technology is widely used in our district and has become part of our curriculum. Teachers at

many of our campuses are utilizing technology in diverse and innovative ways. As the number of

innovative classrooms continues to grow, it is vital that we establish clear standards for implementing

technology projects by ensuring that our technology is well supported and sustainable. With the opening

of new campuses and the rapid growth of the district, our infrastructure and equipment must be properly

supported and managed.

Currently, all students and staff have equitable access to telecommunications and networking services

through a MAN infrastructure based on 1 GB fiber-optics and over 22,000 computers (including

administrative/support staff) are connected to the network. In efforts to maintain an infrastructure based

on standards that will optimize the management of the current technological systems, it is necessary that

the district seek grant funding that will provide for the continual operations of the network and its internal

connections.

Page 1 of 72

Parameters This technology plan is driven by the state curriculum standards and supports the educational mission and

instructional goals of Socorro Independent School District. The plan stresses the importance of ongoing

and sustained staff development in the integration of technology into the curriculum for teachers,

principals, administrators, and school library media personnel to further the effective use of technology in

the classroom or library media center. It also is consistent with the recommendations for LEAs as defined

by the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology in the areas of Teaching and Learning, Educator

Preparation and Development, Administration and Support Services, and Infrastructure for Technology, as

well as the newly adopted Technology Applications Standards for Beginning Teachers.

Vision Statement As Socorro Independent School District enhances learning instruction, the progress of technology

implementation of districtwide applications and solutions will allow teachers to use technology in every

subject/content area. Socorro ISD relies on technology for curriculum, curriculum integration, and

operations as well as to carry out administrative tasks and responsibilities. Currently, the district‟s students,

faculty, and staff have access to telecommunications and networking services through the WAN

infrastructure based on fiber-optics and T1 lease lines. More than 22,000 computers are currently

connected to the network.

Mission Statement Socorro Independent School District recognizes that technology changes quickly and that more and

more students have access to computers and other computer technologies outside of school above all

grade levels. In an effort to provide a greater enriching learning experience that will provide more

access to computers within the instructional day, the district proposes that rather than requiring students

to leave their technology at the classroom door, Socorro ISD will work towards creating opportunities in

which these tools may be utilized in a safe and monitored manner on the district network. Currently, the

district is providing “cloud computing” capabilities districtwide, another tool that enhances quality

teaching and learning.

New Technologies

One of our new technologies that has been implemented is Microsoft SharePoint Services. The Socorro

Independent School District utilizes this collaboration tool for students, faculty, staff, and parents to

connect to our technology resources and information through the MySISD web portal. This encourages

our users to work together to provide an enhanced learning environment within our district.

Mobile versions of all district applications will be available in the upcoming school year for all handheld

devices. This technology will deliver information to the end user to make it accessible at any time, from

anywhere.

Demographics Socorro Independent School District is one of the fastest-growing school districts in Texas located right

outside of the El Paso area along the U.S. and Mexican border, established on July 8, 1961. Over the past

four (4) years, Socorro ISD has grown by more than 5,700 students or average of 3.58 percent per year.

Along with this growth, the district approved a bond which allocated $297,400.00 for district schools

through a voter election in May 2011. The district continues to be TEA Recognized, won the prestigious

2011 Blue Ribbon honors, and a two-time, Broad Award Finalist for Excellence in Urban Education,

guaranteeing the district a minimum of $250,000 in college scholarships for students.

Page 2 of 72

According to the Broad Foundation, the district continued success is due to the following:

In 2009, Socorro outperformed other Texas districts that serve students with similar family income

levels in reading and math at all school levels (elementary, middle, high school).

In recent years, Socorro narrowed achievement gaps between its Hispanic students and the

state‟s white students and between its low-income students and the state‟s non-low-income

students in math at all school levels. For example, from 2008 to 2009, Socorro narrowed the gap

between its low-income students and the state‟s non-low-income students in high school math

by 4 percentage points.

Between 2006 and 2009, SAT participation rates for Hispanic high school seniors increased an

average of 4 percentage points per year.

In 2009, 100 percent of schools in Socorro met AYP, compared with 81 percent of schools in

Texas.

21st Century Learning Layout

In our efforts to create an engaging educational environment, we are embracing 21st Century learning and

transforming the classroom by providing emerging and interactive technologies wherever possible. The

classroom of the future is now here and is making a remarkable difference in how teachers teach and

students learn. The concept being applied at Socorro ISD is not about learning to use technology but

about using technology to learn. Technology has now become integral to the teaching and learning

experience in the sense that it defines the very nature of the experience, which could not happen without

it. It plays a vital role to better prepare our students in continuing their education and to assist teachers in

implementing curriculum in new and exciting ways. In following this learning methodology, we are creating

positive effects on teaching and learning. The following are the elements which we are providing for the

21st century classroom.

As the district proceeds to outfit and maintain classrooms with interactive technologies, we will do the

following:

When a projector in a classroom malfunctions, it will be replaced with a similar model.

When an interactive white board malfunctions, we will replace it with a metallic board and replace the

projector with an interactive projector. The replaced projector will be kept for re-use.

Any other place where an interactive setup is required, a new installation with an interactive projector

and a white metallic board will be installed.

Portables that need to use interactive boards may check out an interactive projector from the library

and use their white boards for projection.

In new construction, we will be using interactive projectors and new 15 foot metallic boards. These

boards will take the place of the tack board, the marker board and the interactive white board. This

will reduce the amount of components for classroom interactivity which will also reduce the cost of

providing technology for these classrooms. In the year 2012-2013, we will be building an elementary

school, a middle school and creating 120 new classrooms for two high schools. We expect the savings

in using the new interactive projectors will be substantial.

Additionally, campuses have interactive devices in each of the classrooms. In a computer lab setting,

Elementary Schools is comprised of 2-3 labs with up to (25) twenty-five computers. For the K-8 and

Middle Schools, a computer lab is comprised of 3-4 labs with up to (30) thirty computers. The High

Schools are comprised of 4-5 labs with up to (80) eighty computers. The computer labs also have

network printers and interactive technology for use.

Goals & Objectives Socorro Independent School District has developed goals and objectives based upon the recommendations

defined by the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology (LRPT) in the areas of Teaching and Learning, Educator

Preparation and Development, Leadership Administration and Support, and Infrastructure for Technology, as

well as the newly adopted Technology Applications Standards for Beginning Teachers.

Goal 1 - Teaching and Learning

Technology upgrades will be implemented over the next five years districtwide with $6M allocated through the

May 2011 bond. Through school administration and well-prepared teachers, the initiatives to successfully

provide opportunities for students to succeed in the global workforce will be made through the availability,

reliability, and effectiveness of technology use in the classroom.

The vision for technology in the classroom is motivated by the understanding that students must graduate from

Socorro I.S.D. well-rounded, prepared, and competitive for the demands of the 21st century. Our learning

community will acquire critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration across networks and leading by

influence, agility and adaptability, initiative and entrepreneurialism, effective oral and written communication,

accessing and analyzing information, and curiosity and imagination. The skills previously mentioned have been

studied and identified as Tony Wagner‟s seven survival skills, all of which support increased opportunities in a

global economy.

The plan for the 2011 Technology Bond funding is to support current and future district initiatives. Twenty first

century technology such as mobile carts, computers for teachers, libraries, and computer labs, and

printers/copiers will enhance the educational opportunities for students. The technology listed will facilitate the

delivery and implementation of the following types of initiatives:

Programs: Destination Reading, Destination Math, Scan TEK, Lexia, Istation, Ignite

Assessment: TELPAS, Accuplacer, PSAT, EOC Exams

Data Analysis: CSCOPE, Eduphoria

Curriculum and Instruction: CSCOPE, Algebra I-Fuse, E-readers, Wiki-links, STEMScopes, Distance Learning

Through the use of current and cutting edge technology, we must support new learning opportunities for 21st

century learners. Socorro ISD is committed to maintaining its reputation for innovation and forward thinking,

while also maintaining a focus on rigor and differentiation, two practices that will create self-directed lifelong

learners.

Goals and Objectives

Goal 2 - Educator Preparation and Development

Socorro Independent School District envisions 21st century learning that will allow students to engage

interactively and teach them to think critically and creatively. Technology will assist all teachers to

actively engage all students in the process of learning on a daily basis. The tools we use to accomplish this

task, which historically are using paper and pencil and mounted devices such as TVs and telephones, are

now transformed into digital media and environments accessed via laptops, desktops, mobile devices,

and interactive technologies. Yet, at the heart of it all, remain the indispensable relationships of teacher

to student and home to school. Therefore, it is in the context of these relationships that we set out our

vision for the next three to five years.

Effective integration of technology within the curriculum is directly affected by the level of educator

preparation, development, and support.

Educators benefit from multiple modes of training, including face-to-face, online, self-paced,

distance learning, community sources (i.e. ESC 19, UTEP, EPCC, conferences), and learning

communities (cadres).

Career and Technical Education supports teachers to attain industry-recognized certifications.

The long-term objective partnerships with Career and Technical Education will provide new and

existing training opportunities for teachers locally through in-house and contracted vendors.

Instructional support will include District Title I Instructional Coach of Excellence (DICE), Campus

Instructional Coach of Excellence (CICE), Teacher on Special Assignment (TSA), Instructional

Technologist, and/or Library Media Specialist.

SISD is committed to100% of teachers and campuses reaching the „Target‟ level of the Texas STaR

Chart assessment to ensure effective implementation of innovative practices within the classroom.

Additional training will be provided during nine weeks and summer intersessions. Training that

requires travel will be provided when ample funding is available and skill attainment/industry

certification is required.

Page 20 of 72

GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND STRATEGIES

GOAL 2: All SISD personnel will integrate technologies to meet instructional and productivity goals.

OBJECTIVE 2.1: Design educator professional development that integrates technology into teaching and

learning, instructional management, and administration.

Budget: $2,400,000

Goal 4 – Infrastructure for Technology Socorro I.S.D. promotes student achievement through the implementation of cutting edge infrastructure and 21st

century technologies.

Technology accessibility has been enhanced by the district in the form of high speed wired internet and

wireless internet access district wide. The district is currently at a 3:1 computer ratio. Upcoming initiatives such as

mobile devices, virtual desktops, and the ability to utilize personal wireless devices will facilitate the district‟s

goal to achieve a 1:1 computer ratio.

With the implementation of these new technologies, a comprehensive network and data security is in place to

help ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of district data. Socorro I.S.D. operates a hybrid security

management system while abiding by state and local federal laws. There are also comprehensive disaster

recovery measures in place to help support availability and integrity of district data.

As the district continues to grow, our objective is to revitalize current legacy systems to utilize new innovative

technologies through virtualization and private cloud infrastructure. In addition, Socorro I.S.D is incorporating

the use of various Microsoft products such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager which will

standardize desktop images with Microsoft Windows and Office applications.

Socorro I.S.D maintains the district database systems and provides web services including database driven web

applications, middleware, and content management systems. These are designed to support district initiatives

to improve education and make a positive difference in students' lives, enhancing interaction between the

community and the district as well.

Technology Assessment The Department of Technology Services maintains over 18,000 desktop and laptop computers at the Socorro

ISD campuses. We have an additional 1500 desktop and laptop computers at our support facilities. We service

all other technology devices within the district such as printers, scanners, etc. We are standardizing the desktop

operating system as Windows 7 Enterprise/Professional via the purchasing of Microsoft Enrollment for Education

Solutions (EES). This allows Socorro ISD to install Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows 7 or newer on all district

owned computers. Socorro ISD is incorporating the use of various Microsoft products such as Microsoft System

Center Configuration Manager. This will allow the standardization of desktop images around the district with the

Microsoft Windows and Office applications. Currently, we have a centrally managed Enterprise Antivirus

Program Kaspersky Antivirus.

Technology Bond Initiatives The objective of the 2011Bond Technology Purchase is to replace aging technology equipment in the

classroom and labs over five (5) years. Each phase will be targeted at a specific area and will utilize a Virtual

Desktop Client via Citrix Zen Desktop allowing the repurposing of aging and existing computers in the

classroom. If computers are purchased, this will require that a computer from the campus is removed following

established guidelines for equipment removal set forth by the Socorro Independent School District. There will be

no exceptions to this, if the campuses wish to take advantage of this Technology Bond Purchase.

Replacement of Workgroup LaserJet Printers will occur; this will also require a one for one removal/replacement

of old Workgroup LaserJet Printers. No Inkjet printers will be purchased and this may require the removal of all

Inkjet printers from the campus due the high cost of maintaining and operating of these printers.

During this time all purchases of all classroom computers and printers for classrooms will be disapproved due to

the replacement being provided during this Bond Technology Refresh program. Dates for rollout and purchases

of all computers and printers will be coordinated with the Department of Business Services/Purchasing

Department.

The Technology Bond initiative will target the following of technology upgrades:

$6 million dollar allotment:

Virtual Desktop

Network Printers

Interactive Technology

Sustainability and Supporting Resources Socorro Independent School District is committed to sustaining and improving the use of technology to

increase the academic performance of all students. Beyond the Bond that recently passed, the district has

contributed local funds and E-Rate in the past for technology enhancements and will continue to do so in the

future.

Socorro ISD is also committed to continuing to maintain infrastructure equipment to include the upgrade of

servers, network equipment, wireless equipment, and data drops to sustain all wireless computer access for

both students and staff through grant funding by E-Rate.

The technology staff is also actively working to ensure that all technology equipment functions well and to seek

additional funding sources for equipment, services, software. Computer hardware will be purchased out of

local and other available funds. The school district will follow state approved bidding policies.

E-rate The E-rate program was approved by Congress in 1996. Under this program the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) was charged with providing telecommunications infrastructure support to all schools and

libraries. Under the direction of the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), the Schools and Libraries

Division (SLD) administers the program‟s day-to-day operations.

E-rate funding does not cover all the technology costs for our school district. Socorro ISD must cover 16 percent

of eligible costs, and 100 percent of the cost of non-eligible items such as computers, printers and software

applications. Over the years that E-rate has been available, our district has enjoyed a state-of-the-art

telecommunications infrastructure. With E-rate we have developed long-term, comprehensive technology

implementation plans that have allowed us to expand technology in the classroom. This implementation plans

have relied on E-rate discounts as a major source of funding.

With the Two-in-Five Rule that E-rate initiated in 2005, we can only apply for E-rate funds on two out of every five

funding years. This rule does not include any priority one services (telecommunications and internet access) or

any basic maintenance funding requests. As we plan ahead for needed infrastructure, we need to take this

rule into account. Good planning will allow us to request what will be needed in upcoming infrastructure

projects, whether it‟s new schools or replacing obsolete equipment.

For the 2011 E-rate year, we requested priority 1 funding for Internet connections, local and long distance

telephone service, metropolitan area network which connect our schools, PBX maintenance, and network

equipment maintenance. The total requests amount to $1.26 million, the district‟s cost is estimated $202

thousand.

The priority 2 requests for 2011 include network equipment for campuses, PBX replacements for campuses,

Video conferencing equipment and video broadcasting equipment. These priority 2 requests total $6.3 million

with estimated cost to the district of 1 million.

For the next five years, priority 1 E-rate will be requested every year. These requests are expected to be similar

to E-rate year 2011. These requests are needed to keep current infrastructure improvements in place and

provide continuance and maintenance.

A priority 2 request, which may only be awarded 2 out of 5 years, requires us to apply every year. If funding is

not received in one year, we will apply for similar funding the following year. On receiving funding, we will wait

two years before we can apply again.

Evaluation Currently, technology usage by students and teachers is increasing. Socorro Independent School District

will complete a comprehensive evaluation of the technology plan annually. Key performance indicators

will be evaluated quarterly. Reporting of the outcomes will be provided to the superintendent of schools,

assistant superintendents, and the technology bond committee. In addition, all district campuses will be

required to submit a campus technology plan annually that includes an evaluation element.

According to the Texas STaR Chart, the district is only at the Developing Tech Level in the areas of

Teaching and Learning and Educator Preparation and Development. The district will enhance their

technology trainings to teachers and staff in order to enable them to learn how to integrate technology

into curriculum by utilizing project-based activities and collaborative learning. The district has provided

the STaR Chart results for all district campuses that will be used to assist these campuses and the school

district toward meeting the goals of the District‟s Long Range Plan for Technology.

Evaluation of the technology plan will be a systematic ongoing process. All aspects of the Plan will be

evaluated formally two times each year:

September .................................................. 2011, 2012, 2013

April ................................................................ 2011, 2012, 2013

The intention of the evaluation will be to make decisions on the impact that technology has on the

learning process for all students. A report will be given to the Superintendent and the Board of Trustees

after each formal evaluation occurs.

Both the Director for Technology Services and the Technology Bond Committee will be actively

responsible for updating the technology plan in accordance to the Texas Education Code, Section

32.001 and as required by the NCLB Act of 2001, Title II, Part D, Enhancing Education through Technology.

The district will continue to submit a revised Technology Plan electronically yearly via the Texas e-Plan

system.

STaR Chart

Assessment Process:

A comprehensive needs assessment based on the District Improvement Plan is conducted annually to analyze the current

status of technology in the district and plan for future needs. Items analyzed include: infrastructure, hardware, software,

instructional programs, course offerings, student achievement, technology resources, professional development and technical

support. As we identify areas of need in our district, we utilized different methods to assess the current status of instructional

technology. One measure used is the Teacher and Campus School Technology and Readiness Assessment, STaRChart, which

is conducted each annually during the month of January. It is through this instrument that instructional technology is gauged in

our district.

Our primary goal is to demonstrate mastery at the Target Level in all key areas. These are the key areas of concern as we

move forward from a Developing Level to a Target Level:

Another method to be utilized is to have all certified educators take an annual assessment of their technology proficiency skills

as defined by the ISTE NETS. The District Technology Performance Indicator Assessment will be created during the spring 2011

and implemented starting the fall of 2011. Additionally, we will use the Professional Development Records of all technology

trainings offered, both at the district and campus level. These trainings will be infused with the State Board of Educator

Certification Standards (I-V) for all teachers and the International Society for Technology in Education NETS (National

Educational Technology Standards) for teachers and administrators.
