Long Range Plan

The long range plan is a very comprehensive and data driven plan. As a teacher, I knew there were TEKS but had no idea of the thought that had put into the writing of the TEKS. The long term plan is very detailed and is written as a vision for the learner of the 21st century. It is divided into sections that detail the recommendations of the four major areas of the plan. That is the teaching and learning; educator preparation and development; leadership, administration, and instructional support; and infrastructure for technology. Each of these groups have goals to help achieve learners that are prepared for the 21st century.

This plan would help me as an administrator because it identifies ways in which a variety of people are able to help prepare learners in technology. It divides duties per say, for each group so that we are able to achieve the goals that are presented in the long term plan. As a teacher, we don't often see the whole picture but more of just our job. This plan opens up that window to help me see that their are a multitude of people responsible for creating 21st century learners.
