Applicant Name: TERRELL ISD
Amount Requested: $76,700	Total Project Cost:    $85,700

            Terrell ISD is a small, rural school district located in northern Kaufman County.   With a total enrollment of 4882 students, approximately 42 percent are economically disadvantaged.  The students in Terrell ISD have limited access to opportunities that are necessary for success in the new millennium.   Advanced technology systems and higher Internet accessibility are essential for the schools of Terrell.   District officials and the community expect for students to have equitable academic opportunities that will ensure success following high school graduation.   In Terrell ISD, technology and information accessing skills are integrated into all curricular areas; thus, the district will continuously support sustained technological advancement.  

            Terrell ISD is committed to raising student performance in all areas.  Technology and information accessing skills will enhance academic development for all students.  Technology is considered crucial for raising student performance on all standardized tests, including the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills.  Projects like the TIF Grant will help to sustain our tradition of excellence.

            Terrell ISD plans to enhance the present technology by increasing the number of high-powered workstations at our high school campus, specifically in the Fine Arts Department, where technology is a vital part of the curriculum and also provide the capabilities for professional quality video production for both students and teachers.  Professional development opportunities are essential as the district increases technology and Internet accessing.  Terrell ISD will provide through a contract with Region X ESC compulsive staff development for all high school teachers to increase their levels of educational research and methodological inquiry through Internet access.   Teachers will learn ways to integrate technology into their teaching practices.  Teachers will also learn how to use the new equipment in order to improve their teaching practices.

            Terrell ISD will collaborate extensively with Region X Education Service Center, local colleges/universities, and other school districts as district officials expand on the current long-range technology plan.  All areas of the technology plan reflect a commitment to raising student performance levels in this small East Texas school district.

            Terrell ISD agrees to spend 20 percent of the funds received on staff development that compliments SBEC/TEA minimum competencies of teachers.

            Terrell ISD agrees to address needs of alternative education classes.

            Terrell ISD agrees to establish partnership with higher education.

            Terrell ISD agrees to replace and upgrade existing equipment and infrastructure.

            Terrell ISD agrees to develop measurable outcomes.

            Terrell ISD agrees to demonstrate widespread technology integration into the curriculum.

            Terrell ISD agrees to offer at least four Technology Application courses as defined by Chapter 126.

            Terrell ISD agrees to offer a wider variety of Arts related technology classes.

 

 

            Terrell I.S.D. is small school district located in Kaufman County.  The economy of the area is dependent on small businesses with a significant portion of the work force commuting to Dallas for employment.  Many of the students in Terrell I.S.D. have limited access to advanced technology.   Approximately 42 percent of Terrell’s students are economically disadvantaged; furthermore, the school district’s tax base is limited.   A large number of at risk students coupled with limited financial resources make it necessary for Terrell I.S.D. to obtain funding from outside sources.    We must secure additional funds if we are to adequately prepare our students for success in a changing world.   Since many of our students do not have access to advanced technology in their homes, it is necessary for district schools to provide this opportunity.  We intend to advance our technological capabilities at Terrell High School through this grant application.

 

            Our small community does not have a significant amount of information resources.  Therefore, Terrell I.S.D. students do not have sufficient access to materials that will enable them to meet economic challenges of the new millennium.  To maximize our network system, our schools must have high-speed student Internet workstations.  With limited computer resources, it is difficult to provide equitable technology opportunities for all students.  We must ensure student access to the vast collection of information resources on the Internet.  To achieve this goal, the existing network system at the high school must be enhanced.  One priority need with this project is the additional installation of high-powered computer workstations at this school to address our concerns related to student accessibility to advanced technology. One other need relates to the development of student skills in the area of video production.  Additionally, our teachers need extensive training related to information processing skills with the Internet and integrating the curriculum with technology.  A common set of software tools will facilitate staff development as well as instruction.  Students will be able to demonstrate increasing levels of sophistication as they move through the grade levels.

 

 

             Terrell I.S.D. intends to secure future funding to sustain this project from local sources, E-rate application, state technology funds and TIE funds. There are also plans for local in-kind donations.  The district pays for T1 connections and the Internet service fee.  The district subscribes to service agreements for all software.

            The cost effectiveness of this project is enhanced by the collaboration of Terrell I.S.D. with Region X Education Service Center and the other participating districts in Region X.  The training module, time lines, evaluation plan, and line access are a joint effort to promote efficiency, an enhanced program, and cost effectiveness. Specifications for equipment have also been developed cooperating with other Region X Schools. This project builds on existing resources such as our in-kind contributions and our matching contribution.  The Board of Trustees of Terrell ISD is committed to developing and sustaining a technology infrastructure for the district.

 

 

            The evaluation plan will facilitate the information necessary to determine if our goals and objectives have been met and give us the data needed to maintain and improve the program.  The District Technology Team believes that monitoring and evaluation should occur throughout the life of the project and beyond.

            The project director will be responsible for conducting the evaluation. The project team will be expected to support and work with the project director in the collection, analysis, desegregation, reporting and development of a plan for project improvement. Other teachers, administrators and students will also be expected to support this effort.

            Project goals and objectives include the enhancement of an advanced technology system in the form of installing multi-media computer workstations in the Fine Arts Department on the high school campus and creation of a video production lab.  Standard record keeping will be used to track requisition, purchase, installation, and testing of all equipment.  The hardware, software, and network capabilities of the system will be monitored on a daily basis and a system will be developed that will provide written and verbal feedback from teachers and students which will be recorded to determine needed improvements and changes. Maintenance and repair items will be taken care of on a daily basis. Improvements in design and access ability will be developed utilizing a synthesis of the data collected over the term of the project. It will be the project director’s responsibility to develop this data collection system and collect and synthesize the data.

            The training of the high school teachers is also a goal and objective of the project. Training will focus on the knowledge and skills related to information accessing and technology integration through a network system, as well as skills related to the new hardware and productivity software.  Trainers will keep records of time spent and content covered.  Both formal and informal classroom observations will be used to monitor implementation of Internet-based instructional practices.  The best measure of the quality of teacher learning is the extent to which the new methods are integrated into daily instruction.  Classroom observations and surveys will provide data in relation to the extent and quality of Internet activities with individual classes and in the new computer lab.  A system will be developed that evaluates the technology skills of teachers in this area.  The project director will develop a system that will utilize teacher portfolios documenting examples of lesson plans, multi-media presentations, etc. This information will be utilized to determine the effectiveness of our training and help determine needs for future training.  Computer databases will be used to collect and analyze data.   The project director will also be responsible for collecting, analyzing, reporting, and development of improvement plans.

            An evaluation document will be developed that will solicit feedback from students, parents, and teachers to help determine the effectiveness of the new network capabilities.   Campus web sites will be able to exhibit student products completed as a result of the state of the art system.  District TAAS scores will also be analyzed to indicate by comparison with previous years if student performance has improved.

            All evaluation data will be analyzed and submitted to the project director. The project director will compile a comprehensive report. This report will be presented to teachers, administrators, and the Board of Trustees. The teachers and administration will ensure that an improvement plan is developed and implemented based on the evaluation data.

            All projects output will be measured and documented related to number of hours of staff development, number of computers purchased, etc.

            The efficiency of group purchasing, cost averaging, and co-op agreements will also be documented.

            Test scores, portfolios and competence evaluations will measure outcomes.  Previous years scores on the TAAS and teacher made tests will be utilized as a pre-test and scores at the conclusion of the project will be utilized as post-test which will document changes in student performance.
