The 21st Century’s increasingly integrated, global economy depends on innovation, which requires a solid knowledge base in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). This academy is designed to help teachers integrate computational thinking into their K-5 instruction. Computational Thinking is the prerequisite skill for understanding the technologies of the future. It is a thought process, rather than a specific body of knowledge about a device or language. Computational thinking is often associated with computers and coding, but it is important to note that it can be taught without a device. Computational thinking can be a part of any classroom.

It is a constant challenge for districts to stay digitally fluent. A technology audit allows a district to create and implement a technology plan built on a foundation of objectives that target student achievement as well as return on investment. The Technology Audit will demonstrate accountability, promote growth, and will reveal areas of strength and weakness at a district level. During the audit process, network specialists will spend 2 on-site days reviewing network/ equipment/infrastructure with the technology director and instructional technology staff will spend 2 on-site days interviewing administrators and teachers at each campus. Interviews with other appropriate staff may occur as requested by campus administrator. Following the on-site visits, the campus/district admin-istrators will receive an audit report detailing strengths, weaknesses and recommendations regarding the campus’ technology.

The Texas Education Code, Section 42.006, requires all school districts to participate in the Public Education Informa-tion Management System, known as PEIMS. The purpose of PEIMS is to provide useful, accurate, and timely informa-tion on student demographics and academic performance, personnel, and school district finances. This information is used by the Texas Education Agency, the legislature, and other agencies to adequately oversee and evaluate the public education system.An internal audit is an assessment tool that will provide a reliable indicator of the quality of your school district’s systems and processes. A PEIMS audit will help to identify problems, risks, things done well, and opportunities to better serve the needs of the district.

Program review will include but not limited to the following:

� Attendance � Discipline � Leavers and Graduates � Pre-K � Enrollment � Homeless � Data Access & Technology Support

Agreed Upon Procedures may be performed as well, in addition to or separate from the PEIMS Audit indicated above, if established and contracted by the district. This would involve a specific area that the district would like tested and Region 3 would report the findings of the facts only with no conclusions or recommendations noted. This cost would be determined at the separate hourly rate of $110 per hour.

The Region 3 Education Service Center will provide Cybersecurity services to districts as described in this agreement. The delivery of these services, as described, is contingent upon sufficient funds from contracting school districts. One of the biggest challenges facing IT today is incorporating reliable and effective cybersecurity services, along with the right expertise to ensure end-to-end security. It is important to note; however, that due to the human element, security risks can never be fully mitigated. Due to this fact, the challenge includes finding the right balance in authorizing user access while ensuring no relevant information is made visible. Deploying the full package of Region 3 ESC’s Cyber-security Services, will assist districts in preventing data integrity risks for the sake of convenience in user access. Our Cybersecurity Services can aid in creating a roadmap for districts, offering various models that optimally use solutions to achieve maximum protection against data breaches. Our Cybersecurity Services are flexible enough to accommo-date varied sizes of IT infrastructures and district demands. Districts expressly agree that use of the service is at district’s sole risk. Neither Region 3 Education Service Center nor any of its licensors, employees, or agents warrant that the service will be error free; nor Region 3 Education Service Center or any of its licensors, employees or agents make any warranty as to the results to be obtained from use of the service. The service is made available on an “as is” basis without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability, non-infringement or fitness for a particular purpose, other than those warranties which are implied by and incapable of exclusion, restriction, or modification under the laws applicable to this agreement. Neither Region 3 Education Service Center nor anyone else involved in creating, delivering or maintaining the service shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages arising out of use of the service or inability to use the service or out of any breach of any warranty. In no event will Region 3 Education Service Center’s liability for any claim, whether in contract, tort or any other theory of liability, exceed the amounts paid by district, if any, for the service for the twelve month period preceding the event forming the basis of the claim.

ESC 3’s Teacher Leader Academy is a comprehensive professional development program based upon the National Standards of Teacher Leaders Model to develop teacher leaders who work in conjunction with administrative leadership to support effective teaching and promote student learning.

“Within every school there is a sleeping giant of teacher leadership that can be a strong catalyst for making changes to improve student learning.”

~Katzenmeyer and Moller

ThE gOal is to take Teachers from: “I’m just a teacher…” TO “…I can lead and help to make a positive difference!”

� Districts select participants who serve in various roles and who are: • existing teacher leaders who have not had leadership

training• emerging teacher leaders • teachers in need of leadership development• “Grow Your Own” candidates for possible future

leadership positions

� Participants receive and read the book, Awakening the Sleep-ing Giant.

� Shared communication platforms (Email, Google, etc.) are used to support continuous collaboration and reflections.

� A “Risk Taking Opportunity” is completed by participants. The RTO is a year-long principal-approved school improvement project where participants put leadership skills into practice.

� Six Modules of Teacher Leadership are studied and developed throughout the year-long academy

What teacher leader participants are saying….“TLA is making me think about my teaching and my school culture rather than getting complacent…”

“Without this experience, I would not have thought it possible to act as a learning facilitator.”

“This opportunity has given me the chance to connect with other teachers around my district and is opening doors for my future in education.”

“It is an honor to be a part of a group that strives for excellence in the classroom.”

“This experience has really broadened my views and has allowed me to see the role that teacher leaders play on a campus. This has allowed me to see how teachers make a difference on their campus.”

“Will we have TLA support after this year? Phase 2? Please!?!”

Risk Taking Opportunities Include: � Creating an online PLC forum where teachers

comfortably collaborate and share success, strategies, questions, ideas and more…

� Coordinating Fall and Spring Showcases using the Arts to promote parental and family involvement

� Leading a book study and conducting learning walks � Implementing campus-wide Team Building Challenges

to promote a positive morale and build strong teams

What teacher leader participants are doing…. � Organizing SOS Science Day for an entire campus to

engage students in a variety of experiments and STEM challenges

� Initiating Instructional Rounds to promote positive and successful instruction and professional learning

� Coordinating the creation and use of Emergency “To Go” Bags for the campus/district
