| Philosophical Statement |
Technology is a necessary part of education today. We believe that a 'T' should to be added to the three 'R's.....Reading, Writing, Arithemtic, and Technology. We at Covington High School believe that technology is and will be an integral part of the learning process. It is our aim to have all students, teachers, and administrators gain the basics in computing and move toward becoming expert in the use of technology.
| Faculty Development Strategies |
First, we begin with a Technology Needs Accessment. We will need
to determine where the faculty stands in their need for training on the
following:
Classes will be developed and offered as training in each of the listed areas. The technology coordinator will develop a calendar and arrange for tech trainers to be available to teach these classes for the faculty.
Classes will be offered by the Technology Coordinator in Room 107 for teachers to upgrade their skills. There will be beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes designed to meet each teacher's skill level with technology. Emphasis will be on helping the teacher to meet the Job Performance Guidelines of integrating technology into the classroom. The following classes will be held after school, and during planning hours on Monday's and Friday's:

Classes are usually offered around the parish and at the Technology Center in Mandeville. Notice that INTEC classes are also offered at various times during the year.
Also, the state of Louisiana has Technology Incentives posted on the Internet. Click here to assess the state website for these guidelines.

Other incentives will be awarded to those teachers who successfully use technology in their lessons. There will be a monthy award given to the TECHNOLOGY TEACHER OF THE MONTH. A certificate will be given to a different teacher each month who successfully uses technology in a lesson plan and submits it to the tech coordinator for approval. This teacher will be presented before the teachers and the student body on the C4 news as the technology award winner.
| Technology Surveys |
A set of seven surveys designed to assess the schools' technology status and stakeholders' perspectives on the use of technology in teaching and learning from school faculty, students, parents, administrators, technology coordinators, and business and community members. They are available in PDF at http://www.seirtec.org/surveys/
