Winding School Down and Preparing for the 2014-2015 School Year

The end of the year brings excitement as you begin to establish new goals for the up and coming school year; yet, it also brings closure to some goals and objectives that were accomplished during the previous year. As I look back at the technology target objective, I am happy with the progress that the district has made in the implementation of technology into the classroom. Many successes can be counted; however, as a district we still have room to grow. Students utilize technology on a daily basis outside of the classroom. It is our job to incorporate the tools in which our students use outside of the school walls into the classroom as a tool for learning. The first step is to create digital leaders who can model the use of technology when leading their campuses. This summer, our administrative leaders will complete a book study on Digital Leadership by Eric Sheninger. Click the link for a recent interview posted on Youtube. The book study will help all of our administrators develop into digital leaders who use the power of social media to communicate the positive aspects of our district to everyone. I am looking forward to another successful year and growing with each of you as we continue to become digital leaders in Castleberry ISD.
