9.0 Program Evaluation
The program evaluation component of the plan should include, but not be limited to, a
description of the process for the ongoing evaluation of how the technologies acquired are:
9.1 Being integrated into the school curriculum and affecting student achievement and progress
toward meeting the educational goals of the Sunshine State Standards
The District personnel, school-based administrators and classroom teachers analyze data to
evaluate the effectiveness of teaching and learning with instructional technology. Evidence of the
success of teaching with interactive white boards, handheld response systems and computers
originates through observations and formative assessments during the learning process. Teachers
use available technology to organize and assimilate that assessment information into future
lessons to improve student achievement. Software, web-based applications and hardware provide
many optional curriculum enhancements for students. The transition from the Next Generation
Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) gives support
by aligning core subject matter appropriately with technology elements. Available reporting of
student data includes, but is not limited to:
Achieve3000 (KidBiz, TeenBiz and Empower)
Compass Odyssey
District formative assessments
FCAT Explorer
PLATO
Read180
Renaissance Learning system
Think Central
Progress Monitoring and Reporting Network (PMRN)
Voyager Expanded Learning
9.2 A description of the process used to facilitate mid-course corrections in response to new
developments and opportunities as they arise
Assessments, formative and summative provide the data and statistics that, more than ever before,
steer the continuous investment in the growth of student achievement in the District. Teachers
have access to the Osceola Data Management System, an online data repository, for various
student records (Appendix F: Description of data systems).
