EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Purpose:
Muleshoe Independent School District has prepared this Long-Range Technology Plan to articulate a common vision for technology in the district and identify the strategies that will help use advanced technology to improve the academic achievement, including technology literacy, of all students with rigorous curriculum standards and the development of critical thinking skills that are essential for academic and workplace success and build the capacity of all teachers to integrate technology effectively into curriculum and instruction.
Background:
This plan is based on information drawn from many sources including: a review of the literature to identify best practices, a survey of school site hardware and instructional media, a survey of teachers, a survey of administrators, interviews with site and district administrators and representatives from the Muleshoe community, school site meetings, other district technology plans, and experience from other school districts.

Parameters
This Long-Range Technology Plan is driven by the state curriculum standards and supports the educational mission and instructional goals of MULESHOE ISD and by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Specific attention is given to addressing student standards for technology as defined by the Technology Applications Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), required in the Texas Education Code, Section 28.002. The Technology Applications TEKS found in 19 TAC Chapter 126 describe what students should know and be able to do using technology. As a part of the enrichment curriculum, these TEKS are to be used as guidelines for providing instruction. The goal of the Technology Applications TEKS is for students to gain technology-based knowledge and skills and to apply them to all curriculum areas at all grade levels.
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 e-rate applications guidelines, and other state standards, such as the newly adopted Technology Applications Standards for Beginning Teachers.
Vision Statement
Muleshoe ISD will incorporate and integrate a variety of current technologies to expedite the acquisition and application of knowledge and skills at levels appropriate to students’ needs. Muleshoe ISD, with an enrollment of 1488 students is located in Bailey County in the Texas Panhandle region. Named for the Muleshoe Ranch Headquarters of the XIT ranch, Muleshoe has a population of approximately 5,000 and is primarily an agricultural community. MISD expects that by expanding and improving technology, its teachers, students and community will benefit. MISD’s Board of Trustees is dedicated to the continuing support of technology. MISD has also formed a partnership with Region 17 Education Service Center to implement the Texas Library Connection, distance learning and incorporating telecommunications technology in the curriculum.
MISD is a member of the Five Area Community Telecommunications Consortium (FACT), which includes four local school districts, South Plains College in Levelland, Tx, Five Area Telephone/West Plains Telecom and the Education Service Center Regions 17. MISD is also a member of the Region 17 Video Network.
Mission Statement
In an isolated, rural area, it is imperative that students be exposed to more diversity and culture as well as developing skills that will make them competitive when they leave the school setting. MISD has made great efforts to provide up to date technology, training and infrastructure. MISD will focus on five major goals in the next three years: replacing and adding computers to the network, technology applications classes, staff development, funding, and expanding the use of interactive television to include more student classes and adult continuing education.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Assessment Process: NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Assessment Process: A comprehensive needs assessment utilizing teacher/student surveys, interviews, focus group sessions, inventories and the Texas Campus STaR Chart was conducted to analyze the current status of technology in the district and determine future needs. Items analyzed included: infrastructure, hardware, software, programs, courses, student achievement, technology resources, staff development, and technical support.
