Technology
Competencies for
Instructional Staff
LISD Technology Competencies were established to set a standard for technology skills that all LISD employees should attain to utilize technology effectively and to increase productivity. As technology continues to advance and new systems are introduced into the district, it is imperative and the expectation of the district that all employees will continually upgrade their skill and find new ways to improve their job performance and efficiency.
The competencies also serve as a system by which teachers can obtain a basic technology package for their classroom. By passing certain competencies, teachers become eligible to receive instructional technology.
Technology skills are essential for students’ futures and are also an integral part of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Every curriculum area is required to teach about and with technology. Technology offers instructional staff abundant opportunities to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of instructional management tasks, research, communications (with parents, students and other professionals), preparation of instructional materials, delivery of instruction, development of exciting real-world assignments, and assessment of learning. Required minimum competencies for instructional staff are described below.
