I. Abstract of Project/Activity As a unique campus in Lewisville ISD, Killough Lewisville High School -North (LHS -N) is solely a 9th grade campus, servicing nearly one thousand students each school year. Killough LHS -N has a diverse racial /ethnic population, including 15% African- American, 29% Hispanic, 50% White, and 6% Other students. We have a large population of English Language Learners (16 %) and economically disadvantaged students (approximately 37 %). Thus, many of our students do not routinely have access to up -to -date technology tools in the home. Given the increased demand for the use of technology in mathematics and science related careers, students must now enter the work world well- versed in the use of a variety of technology, including calculators and computer software programs that allow them to manipulate, analyze, and present data. For these reasons, staff at Killough LHS -N are requesting grant funding in the amount of $7,675.00 to allow the purchase of an integrated classroom learning system that includes 32 graphing calculators and associated hardware and software, as well as 8 interactive wireless pads that will allow teachers to write and project lessons and feedback for all students to see and interact with in real time. The project meets grant guidelines of the Coppell Education Development Corporation to promote career technology for a skilled workforce and extends our campus improvement plan goal that "Technology will be fused into academic programs at LHS- N through research databases, READ 180, Carnegie math lab, graphing calculators, NOW lab usage, Classroom Performance System, and power point presentations by both teachers and students" (goal number 18). With the purchase of this technology, mathematics teachers at LHS -N 2 Killough LHS -N will increase students' use of graphing calculators, their access to programs to analyze collected data, and allow teachers the ability to present the information in an exciting and interactive manner. LHS -N 3 II. Description of Proposal & Nature of Request According to the US Department of Labor (2005), "employment in professional, scientific, and technical services will grow by 28.4 percent and add 1.9 million new jobs by 2014. Employment in computer systems design and related services will grow by 39.5 percent and add almost one -fourth of all new jobs in professional, scientific, and technical services. Employment growth will be driven by the increasing reliance of businesses on information technology and the continuing importance of maintaining system and network security. Management, scientific, and technical consulting services also will grow very rapidly, by 60.5 percent, spurred by the increased use of new technology and computer software and the growing complexity of business" ( http : / /stat.bls.gov /oco /oco2003.htm , accessed 10/10/06). Many careers now rely on the use of technology, from health care to retail. Students who will be continuing their education through technology schools or college must be skilled in the use of graphing calculators, data analysis tools, and a variety of software products. Unfortunately, due to present technology needs, many of our students do not have access to basic technology such as a basic 4- function calculator for daily use and integration into everyday classroom instruction at school. In order to prepare our students to compete in the workplace of the future, algebra teachers at Killough LHS -N are currently using TI graphing calculators for basic graphing and calculation within a given lesson. The TI- Navigator System provides wireless communication between 32 different students' TI graphing calculators and the teacher's PC. During a lesson, teachers and students can then use the InterWrite SchoolPad to manipulate collected data wirelessly. The InterWrite SchoolPad system can recognize up to 4 users at a time. With the current TI Navigator system already owned by the school, and the purchase of an additional system, along with 8 SchoolPads, two teachers may utilize the technology on a given day. With LHS -N 4 the school's current TI Navigator system, only one teacher can use the equipment at a time. The students currently enrolled in a mathematics course do not receive very much interactive time with the calculators and programs available. None of the teachers currently have an InterWrite SchoolPad, so interactive analysis is not possible at this time. Ms. Lacy Toliver, algebra teacher, piloted use of the InterWrite SchoolPad during the Spring 2006 semester. Her informal observations indicated an improvement in student engagement after initiating use of the SchoolPad, from struggling learners who have special education needs, to more advanced students who appeared to be "bored" with class instruction. By creating a differentiated learning environment, the TI Navigator system and InterWrite SchoolPads will better engage kinesthetic and visual learners in the classroom. This is consistent with the reasoning of Dr. Carol Ann Tomlinson, a professor of education at the University of Virginia, and author of several books regarding the importance of using technology to better engage students in the differentiated classroom (e.g., Tomlinson, 1999). In the Canton City (Ohio) School District, "students using the system (TI Navigator) achieved (percent passing on standardized math tests) at a level three times greater than students who did not" (McClure, 2006, p. 76; italics added for explanatory purposes). In the article about the district, author Ann McClure stated that "teachers are also able to do more differential instruction, allowing advanced students to use the activity center to apply a learned concept to a new situation while the teacher works with other students" (p.76). Ms. McClure also noted that "teachers are also able to use the feedback to target students who need extra help outside the classroom" (p.76). With the use of the graphing calculator, the InterWrite SchoolPad, and Microsoft Office programs, students will increase their use of technology in the mathematics classroom. By manipulating collected data, students will improve their data analysis skills by analyzing data LHS -N 5 with Access and/or Excel, and present the information in either written form (Word) or in a presentation (PowerPoint). In addition, the TI Navigator gives teachers the ability to send class materials (like data lists, lecture notes, collected data and tests) directly from the teacher's PC to students' TI calculators. Up to two teachers will be able to use the TI Navigators (housed on a rolling cart). Along with either their classroom computer, or a laptop, the teachers and students can collect data, manipulate and analyze it, and present it on the classroom television, or using a projector. Currently the school only possesses one set of TI Navigators, which are not being fully utilized by all ten mathematics teachers, due to scheduling of the single set of TI Navigators. Lewisville ISD is currently offering training for the use of the TI Navigator system, and is planning for a session using a Calculator -Based Laboratory (CBL) system, wherein calculators are utilized by non - mathematics teachers to explore use of data in science with students. Use of the above technology will improve mathematics teachers' ability to address appropriate Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards during the spring semester, including the following: Algebra 1 TEKS - Basic Understanding: (5) Tools for algebraic thinking. Techniques for working with functions and equations are essential in understanding underlying relationships. Students use a variety of representations (concrete, pictorial, numerical, symbolic, graphical, and verbal), tools, and technology (including, but not limited to, calculators with graphing capabilities, data collection devices, and computers) to model mathematical situations to solve meaningful problems. LHS -N 6 (6) Underlying mathematical processes. Many processes underlie all content areas in mathematics. As they do mathematics, students continually use problem - solving, language and communication, and reasoning (justification and proof) to make connections within and outside mathematics. Students also use multiple representations, technology, applications and modeling, and numerical fluency in problem - solving contexts. Algebra 1 A and 1B courses at Killough LHS -N are each 18 weeks in length, meeting 90 minutes each day. There are approximately 27 students in each Algebra 1 A class, with a current total enrollment of 460 students in the classes. The Algebra 1A (and continuing Algebra 1B) mathematics classes will have the opportunity to utilize the TI Navigator system on a weekly basis, and will benefit from the utilization of the TI Navigator system, InterWrite SchoolPad and various computer software programs available for data analysis and presentation. To address the math objectives below, and increase students' access to technology, we will need one Standard TI Navigator Classroom Learning System (complete with thirty -two calculators and associated software) and eight InterWrite SchoolPad systems. Thus, the per - student cost of this project ($7675.00 project cost, divided by 460 students) is approximately $16.68. With nearly one thousand students enrolled at Killough LHS -N, the use of the TI Navigator system will service 47% of the student population. We consider this to be a highly cost - effective investment in improving our students' skills. Future acquisition of additional TI Navigator systems will enable teaching staff to service the remaining students enrolled in Algebra 1 and Geometry classes, and possibly cross - curricula in science and business /technology courses. The mathematics teaching staff at Killough LHS -N is already trained on the use of the TI Navigator system, and they can share their knowledge with those already employed at the school. LHS -N 7 Ro Stark, the department chair person will be in charge of training and implementation. The school's computer systems are already equipped with Microsoft Office 2003 products, so no additional software is required at this time. The following strategies and activities will be performed with the TI Navigator system: • Use the "Activity Center" feature, allowing students to contribute to a shared workspace that's projected to the class. Students will work collaboratively by contributing a point, equation or list, thus generating an opportunity for classroom discussion. Students may explore core concepts in this engaging manner, helping to promote a deeper understanding of the concepts. This activity can generate more collaborative discussion and, ultimately, higher student achievement. • Use the "Quick Poll" feature, allowing for real -time feedback and instant assessment of student understanding. Teachers can immediately gauge student comprehension and areas in need of reinforcement with the Quick Poll feature. The program allows the teacher to obtain digital answers from every student, eliminating vocal responses (which can be intimidating), giving every student a "voice ". Teachers will be able to identify and correct common mistakes as they occur and, if necessary, adjust their lessons. • Use the "Screen Capture" feature, enabling teachers to monitor the students' work to ensure they are on track and on task. Teachers can instantly view screen shots of each of the students' work using "Screen Capture," tracking students' level of understanding and quickly assessing whether they are on task. • Use "Class Analysis" tools, allowing for an immediate display of student results on assignments, quizzes and tests, so teachers know right away who's "got it" and who needs LHS -N 8 students: additional help. By using the TI Navigator system, we expect to meet the following objectives for our • Every student enrolled in Algebra 1 A and 1B will successfully identify the general forms of linear (y = x) and quadratic (y = x parent functions from a graph using the screen capture function of the TI Navigator, as assessed by the teacher, through observation, work samples, and grades. • 75% of students enrolled in Algebra 1 A and 1B will demonstrate competence in collecting and organizing data, to make and interpret scatter plots (including recognizing positive, negative, or no correlation for data approximating linear situations), and to model, predict and make decisions and critical judgments in problem situations with TI calculator applications, TI navigator screen capture, and TI Class Analysis, as assessed by the teacher, through observation, work samples, and grades. • 75% of students enrolled in Algebra lA and 1B will demonstrate proficiency in using, translating, and making connections among algebraic, tabular, graphical, or verbal descriptions of linear functions with the TI calculator applications, TI navigator screen capture, TI Class Analysis, and TI Learning Check as assessed by the teacher, through observation, work samples, and grades. • 75% of students enrolled in Algebra 1A and 1B will develop the concept of slope as rate of change and will demonstrate competency in determining slopes from graphs, tables and algebraic representations with the TI calculator applications, TI navigator screen capture, TI Class Analysis, and TI Learning Check as assessed by the teacher, through LHS -N 9 observation, work samples, and grades. • 75% of students enrolled in Algebra 1 A and 1B will investigate, describe and predict the effects of changes in m and b on the graph of y = mx + b (including parallel and perpendicular) from a graph, verbal description, equation, and table, proficiently, using the screen capture function of the TI Navigator as assessed by the teacher, through observation, work samples, and grades. • 75% of students enrolled in Algebra 1 A and 1B will investigate, describe, and predict the effects of changes in c on the graph of y = ax +c, proficiently, using the screen capture function of the TI Navigator as assessed by the teacher, through observation, work samples, and grades.

Project Measurements and Evaluation As reported above, there are approximately 27 students in each Algebra 1 A class at Killough LHS -N, with a current enrollment of 460 students total. The Algebra 1 A (and continuing Algebra 1 B) mathematics classes will have the opportunity to utilize the TI Navigator system on a weekly basis, and will benefit from the utilization of the TI Navigator system, InterWrite SchoolPad and various computer software programs available for data analysis and presentation. The per student cost of this project is approximately $16.68. With nearly one thousand students enrolled at Killough LHS -N, the use of the TI Navigator system will service 47% of the student population. Students' proficiency and competence for each objective may be readily observed using instant feedback with the TI screen capture, reports given with the TI Class Analysis, and teacher evaluation. Thus, mastery of objectives described in the Description of Proposal section will be measured using teacher observation, student work samples, and grades. In addition, data gathered from the Math TAKS benchmark, will provide a long term outcome measurement of the project's effectiveness. Finally, qualitative information regarding the implementation of the hardware and classroom activities will be obtained through student feedback and observed engagement for each lesson.

LISD C O M M I T T E D T O E X C E L L E N C E Memorandum To: Alan King, Chief Executive Officer CC: LISD Governing Board From: Charles Fruge, PhD, Office of Grant Development Date: 11/2/06 Re: Coppell Education Development Corporation grant The Coppell Education Development Corporation (CEDC) offers grants to public schools with students enrolled that reside within the City of Coppell. The purpose of the grant program is to promote literacy, foreign language, and career technology for a skilled workforce. The Coppell City Manager's office reported that a school must have at least two Coppell students enrolled to be eligible to apply for grant funding. As of January 15, 2006, LISD had 57 Coppell students enrolled in six different schools, four of which are eligible for funding: Rockbrook Elementary, Durham Middle School, Killough Lewisville High School — North, and Lewisville High School. The CEDC Board has notified LISD that they are eligible for a grant of up to $67,709.04. We have prorated the amount for which each school is applying, based on the number of Coppell students enrolled in the school. CEDC requirements include the following: • A separate Public Hearing to be held at a regularly scheduled District Governing Board meeting for each grant application. The hearing shall conclude with comments from the public. A copy of the LISD Board agenda must be provided to the CEDC Board with the application; • Legal Notice of the hearing published for two consecutive weeks before the Public Hearing (with copies provided to the CEDC Board); and • Signatures from each Principal Applicant (usually the school principal), the Superintendent, and School Board President documenting full knowledge and approval of the grant application. I have consulted with principal applicants from the four participating LISD schools as they developed their grant application. The proposed applications appear to meet CEDC and LISD guidelines. Matching funds are not required, nor are significant changes in job duties for district personnel. No endorsement of any business or product is made or implied. All four of the participating schools are proposing the purchase of additional technology as part of the application. Rockbrook Elementary is also requesting grant funding to purchase books for the school library. LISD's technology department has indicated the technology to be purchased with grant funding should not impose an undue burden on the district in terms of additional expense needed to install and use the proposed technology. Thus, I recommend accepting the applications as proposed. 1 PROPOSED STRATEGIES EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES • Support student literacy by expanding library holdings, especially in fiction • Purchase paired reading books, award - winning books, and standard children's • Further support student literacy by purchasing additional interactive • favorites and make available for checkout to students whiteboards • Purchase additional interactive whiteboards (including necessary accessories) and incorporate into classroom instruction PROPOSED STRATEGIES EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES • Improve students' data analysis skills by using technology to interactively manipulate and display collected data in • Purchase additional interactive whiteboards (including necessary accessories) and InterWrite school pads real time • Use wirelessly linked calculators, InterWrite school pads, PCs, and digital displays in daily math instruction PROPOSED STRATEGIES EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES • Support improved reading comprehension and language arts skills by incorporating interactive whiteboard technology into classroom instruction • Purchase additional interactive whiteboards (including necessary accessories) and incorporate into classroom instruction ABSTRACT FOR COPPELL EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION GRANT PROPOSALS 2006 -2007 PROPOSAL Charles Fruge, grant writer, proposes submission of application to the Coppell Education Development Corporation (CEDC) for grant funding. The CEDC provides grant funding to schools in which students residing within the City of Coppell are enrolled. The purpose of the grant is to promote literacy, foreign language, and career technology for a skilled workforce. CEDC Grant funding will provide a maximum of $67,709.04 to four campuses, including: • Rockbrook Elementary • Marshall Durham Middle School • Killough Lewisville High School - North • Lewisville High School PROCESS LEADING TO DECISION TO APPLY FOR FUNDING During early Fall 2006 the grant writer met with designees from the four participating campuses. Dr. Fruge provided an overview of the grant purpose and application requirements. All four designees and their principals indicated an interest in pursuing funding. Dr. Fruge then began meeting with designees to develop grant proposals for each school based on needs assessment data specific to each.

(2006) support a positive correlation between adequacy of a school's library collection and students' passing TAKS scores. Unfortunately, school funding for a large -scale library book holdings expansion is presently limited by budget constraints. Without additional funding available through the CEDC, the project is likely to be unrealized, or, at the least, postponed by several years. It is not possible to reach our long term goal of an exemplary library holdings rating for the 2006 -07 school year, however, we anticipate that funding support received last year (2005 -06), this year (2006 -07), and during 2007 -08 will allow us to reach our goal. For the 2006- 07 school year our objectives include adding approximately 1,500 books, primarily in the domain of fiction (paired reading books, award - winning books, and standard children's favorites). The project is intended to provide a seamless blend of interrelated literacy components of literature, writing, and technology across the curriculum. Thus, adding interactive whiteboards will allow us to link reading with language arts to strongly support literacy. The cost of the Expanding Literacy Across the Curriculum project is $41,193; $32,400 for increasing library book holdings and $8,793 for the supporting technology. Participants in the project will encompass the entire Rockbrook population of 687 students. LISD CEDC Applications 1 II. Description of Proposal & Nature of Request The CEDC grant will allow Rockbrook Elementary to demonstrate substantial progress toward our long -term goal of strongly supporting literacy. In addition, the 2006 -07 proposed funding will assist us to meet our objective of achieving an exemplary rating according to Texas State Library Standards. The library will achieve a balanced collection of quality materials for students as well as a high quality professional collection of teacher resources. A collection analysis was conducted at Rockbrook Elementary's school library in September 2006. The analysis indicated that, in general, our total book holdings of a little over 9,800 books is below that expected for our population of 687 students. More specifically, the Texas State Library (http: / /www.tsl. state. tx. us /ld /schoollibs /sls /stand3.html , accessed 10/18/06) recommends 20 books per student, with Rockbrook averaging 14.29. We will need to add 3,923 books to bring our average within the recommended range. Given an average book price of $21.60 (School Library Journal, March 2006), we would need to expend $84,737 to bring our collection to within our long -term goal range. However, a short-term (one -year) objective to add approximately 1,490 books will be a meaningful and significant step toward reaching the long- term goal (1,500 books @ $21.60 ea. _ $32,400). Moreover, particular discrepancies were noted in our holdings for fiction (paired reading books, award winning books and standard children's favorites). An adequate fiction collection is essential to captivating our students' attention. Our students need quality fiction in order to embrace reading and maintain the desire and excitement to continue reading. Their literacy and vocabulary will increase with each new book they read. In order to extend our goal of strengthening literacy services, we propose to purchase additional interactive whiteboards at Rockbrook. The white boards may be connected to the school computer network, allowing students and teachers to do anything on the whiteboard they can do on the computer and even more. For example, a teacher or student can write on the board with the markers and then save their writing as a file on the computer. Internet and research databases may also be accessed as well as electronic texts. Lessons utilizing interactive whiteboards will be used by the entire K -5 student population. The possibilities for using this technology are endless. Students are more likely to be excited and engaged in instructional activities when they use technology as a vehicle for improving their literacy skills (Tomlinson, 1999). The need to actively engage our students is underlined by the diverse nature of Rockbrook's population, which includes 37% economically disadvantaged, 11% limited English proficient, 17% Hispanic, and 33% African- American students. At least 15 different languages and dialects are represented among our family of students, including Spanish, Korean, and Chinese. Once grant assistance is received, the books and technology will be purchased and implemented. The total number of students to be served by grade level for the project will be as follows: • Kindergarten 117 • First 124 • Second 126 • Third 118 • Fourth 95 • Fifth 91 LISD CEDC Applications 2 The project will be coordinated by the campus librarian. Literacy materials purchased with the CEDC monies will be available in the library and will follow customary loan processes and procedures. The interactive whiteboards will be available to the entire school population on a rotating basis throughout the year. Students in kindergarten through the fifth grade visit the library as part of a weekly rotation. All our total population of 687 students is anticipated to be served by books and technology provided by CEDC funding. Availability of books will follow campus procedures and policies for loaning. The instructional technology purchased with CEDC funding will be available for checkout by teachers and staff. As durable materials, the benefits associated with books and instructional technology purchased through CEDC funding are reasonably expected to extend far beyond the grant funding period.

Project Measurements and Evaluation The literacy project will serve the entire population of Rockbrook Elementary. The K -5 enrollment is approximately 687 students. Given a total project cost of $41,193/687 students, the projected cost per student will be $59.96. We reason that this is a cost - effective investment in our literacy improvement efforts. Achievement of our objective to increase the library collection by 1,500 books will be measured by a yearly collection development analysis using Texas State Library standards. The analysis will reveal weak areas in the collection. The library collection will also be evaluated based on a comparison to the standards and recommendations from the H.W. Wilson Children's Catalog (2005). The instructional technology portion of the project will be evaluated on the basis of student and teacher usage of the equipment, examples of lesson plans and student work using the SmartBoards. Long term success of the project will be reflected in the following outcomes: TAKS scores, teacher collaboration and use of the library collection, increased student use of the library, increased use of interactive whiteboards in the classroom, and increased use of the interrelated literacy components of literature, writing, and technology across the curriculum.

LISD CEDC Applications 6 Marshall Durham Middle School I. Abstract of Project /Activity The Lewisville Independent School District (LISD) strives to integrate academically challenging curriculum through using cutting edge technology to better engage all students, including those from economically disadvantaged and diverse backgrounds. The proposed project funded through the Coppell Education Development Corporation (CEDC) will serve Marshall Durham Middle School (MDMS). The campus serves Coppell residents among its population. We propose using technology to improve literacy for our students at MDMS. More specifically, the goals for the project are to improve students' reading comprehension and language arts skills by supplementing additional technology into classroom instruction. The technology needed for the project consists of interactive white boards for classrooms and projector bulbs for existing interactive whiteboard projectors: This is consistent with our 2005- 06 CEDC grant project, in which we purchased digital projectors using grant funds, and with the 2004 -05 grant project, in which interactive whiteboards were also purchased. Thus, the present proposal is part of an ongoing, long -term project to meet our academic goals at MDMS. The proposed technology will cost approximately $8900 and will be implemented school- wide. Participation will include all 771 students, grades 6 -8, and the interactive whiteboards purchased with CEDC funds will be available to all students on a rotating basis throughout the school year. LISD CEDC Applications 7 II. Description of Proposal and Nature of Request This funding request is submitted with a goal of enhancing literacy and technology education at MDMS. At present, MDMS has third period activity classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week. During the activity periods teachers focus instruction on targeted Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) objectives to ensure student success. All MDMS students receive the supplemental instruction time during the school day. The student population at MDMS is 771, with the following student population in each respective grade level: • Sixth Grade 267 • Seventh Grade 256 • Eighth Grade 248 In addition to the activity time, MDMS teachers also hold "Reading Camp" prior to the TAKS test in the Spring. Students who are considered "at-risk" or who have failed the TAKS reading test in the past are pulled during their 3 period class time for the two months prior to the TAKS reading test and tutored based on specific areas of need. Currently, staff and students have a limited number of interactive whiteboards available and their use must be scheduled carefully. By purchasing additional interactive white boards we will be able to make the dynamic, visual technology available more frequently and for a greater variety of instructional tasks. The ability to display project passages and questions interactively in real time enables teachers to better guide class discussions and evaluate student comprehension of the targeted TAKS objectives. The cost of the tools is approximately $8,900. When students are actively involved in discussions and sharing strategies the level of comprehension is increased, which will, in turn, increase test scores not only on the reading TAKS but also on all parts of TAKS testing that involve reading comprehension. Given the visual and dynamic nature of interactive white board technology, we reason that it will supplement instruction and increase retention of concepts and skills as well. Multi - sensory learning opportunities are critical to keeping middle school students interested and engaged in the learning process. Some researchers (e.g., Gorski, 2006) have reported that students from diverse economic, cultural, and racial /ethnic backgrounds are better engaged by visual, dynamic instructional supplements such as this technology offers, as compared to traditional lecture and note - taking tasks, yet these students represent the least likely population to have current technology readily available at home. Finally, the technology proposed allows for a variety of curriculum and teaching tools to be integrated. Students may participate in real time to classroom discussions and editing using the interactive white board technology. Use of interactive whiteboard technology allows students to take turns answering questions posed by the teacher and other students by highlighting text, circling key words or phrases, or writing notes to the side of text. However, the steep cost of the technology precludes its funding through traditional sources, especially at a time of decreasing federal support for programs mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act. Outside of non - traditional funding sources, the project is not likely to be realized. Funding the proposed project will assist MDMS to reach our goal of integrating technology in all academic programs (Campus Improvement Plan Goal 1.16). In addition, we will utilize CEDC grant funding to reach the following Campus Improvement Plan objectives • 90% of students who failed TAKS reading and /or writing in 2005 -06 will pass the assessments in 2006 -07. • Technology is integrated into academic programs. LISD CEDC Applications 8 LISD offers ongoing staff development training on integrating technology into instruction, thus no additional training needs are anticipated as a result of implementing the project.

Project Measurements and Evaluation All 771 MDMS students will receive instruction school -wide (grades 6 -8) three times per week, utilizing the interactive whiteboard technology on a rotating basis each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday throughout the school year. Based on current school enrollment the approximate per - student cost for the project will be $11.51. We consider this to be highly cost - effective. Our objectives to integrate technology into all academic programs and for 90% of students who failed TAKS reading and/or writing in 2005 -06 to pass the assessments in 2006 -07 will be measured by teacher observations, student work samples, grades, and students' performance on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills in reading and writing.

Killough Lewisville High School - North Navigating Math the SMART way! I. Abstract of Project /Activity As a unique campus in Lewisville ISD, Killough Lewisville High School -North (LHS -N) is solely a 9th grade campus, servicing nearly one thousand students each school year. Killough LHS -N has a diverse racial /ethnic population, including 15% African- American, 29% Hispanic, 50% White, and 6% Other students. We have a large population of English Language Learners (16%) and economically disadvantaged students (approximately 37 %). Thus, many of our students do not routinely have access to up -to -date technology tools in the home. Given the increased demand for the use of technology in mathematics and science related careers, students must now enter the work world well - versed in the use of a variety of technology, including calculators and computer software programs that allow them to manipulate, analyze, and present data. For these reasons, staff at Killough LHS -N are requesting grant funding in the amount of $7,675.00 to allow the purchase of an integrated classroom learning system that includes 32 graphing calculators and associated hardware and software, as well as 8 interactive wireless pads that will allow teachers to write and project lessons and feedback for all students to see and interact with in real time The project meets grant guidelines of the Coppell Education Development Corporation to promote career technology for a skilled workforce and extends our campus improvement plan goal that "Technology will be fused into academic programs at LHS - N through research databases, READ 180, Carnegie math lab, graphing calculators, NOW lab usage, Classroom Performance System, and power point presentations by both teachers and students" (goal number 18). With the purchase of this technology, mathematics teachers at Killough LHS -N will increase students' use of graphing calculators, their access to programs to analyze collected data, and allow teachers the ability to present the information in an exciting LISD CEDC Applications 13 II. Description of Proposal & Nature of Request According to the US Department of Labor (2005), "employment in professional, scientific, and technical services will grow by 28.4 percent and add 1.9 million new jobs by 2014. Employment in computer systems design and related services will grow by 39.5 percent and add almost one -fourth of all new jobs in professional, scientific, and technical services. Employment growth will be driven by the increasing reliance of businesses on information technology and the continuing importance of maintaining system and network security. Management, scientific, and technical consulting services also will grow very rapidly, by 60.5 percent, spurred by the increased use of new technology and computer software and the growing complexity of business" ( http : / /stat.b1s.gov /oco /oco2003.htm , accessed 10/10/06). Many careers now rely on the use of technology, from health care to retail. Students who will be continuing their education through technology schools or college must be skilled in the use of graphing calculators, data analysis tools, and a variety of software products. Unfortunately, due to present technology needs, many of our students do not have access to basic technology such as a basic 4- function calculator for daily use and integration into everyday classroom instruction at school. In order to prepare our students to compete in the workplace of the future, algebra teachers at Killough LHS -N are currently using TI graphing calculators for basic graphing and calculation within a given lesson. The TI- Navigator System provides wireless communication between 32 different students' TI graphing calculators and the teacher's PC. During a lesson, teachers and students can then use the InterWrite SchoolPad to manipulate collected data wirelessly. The InterWrite SchoolPad system can recognize up to 4 users at a time With the current TI Navigator system already owned by the school, and the purchase of an additional system, along with 8 SchoolPads, two teachers may utilize the technology on a given day. With the school's current TI Navigator system, only one teacher can use the equipment at a time The students currently enrolled in a mathematics course do not receive very much interactive time with the calculators and programs available. None of the teachers currently have an InterWrite SchoolPad, so interactive analysis is not possible at this time Ms. Lacy Toliver, algebra teacher, piloted use of the InterWrite SchoolPad during the Spring 2006 semester. Her informal observations indicated an improvement in student engagement after initiating use of the SchoolPad, from struggling learners who have special education needs, to more advanced students who appeared to be "bored" with class instruction. By creating a differentiated learning environment, the TI Navigator system and InterWrite SchoolPads will better engage kinesthetic and visual learners in the classroom. This is consistent with the reasoning of Dr. Carol Ann Tomlinson, a professor of education at the University of Virginia, and author of several books regarding the importance of using technology to better engage students in the differentiated classroom (e.g., Tomlinson, 1999). In the Canton City (Ohio) School District, "students using the system (TI Navigator) achieved (percent passing on standardized math tests) at a level three times greater than students who did not" (McClure, 2006, p. 76; italics added for explanatory purposes). In the article about the district, author Ann McClure stated that "teachers are also able to do more differential instruction, allowing advanced students to use the activity center to apply a learned concept to a new situation while the teacher works with other students" (p.76). Ms. McClure also noted that "teachers are also able to use the feedback to target students who need extra help outside the classroom" (p.76). With the use of the graphing calculator, the InterWrite SchoolPad, and Microsoft Office programs, students will increase their use of technology in the mathematics classroom. By LISD CEDC Applications 14 manipulating collected data, students will improve their data analysis skills by analyzing data with Access and/or Excel, and present the information in either written form (Word) or in a presentation (PowerPoint). In addition, the TI Navigator gives teachers the ability to send class materials (like data lists, lecture notes, collected data and tests) directly from the teacher's PC to students' TI calculators. Up to two teachers will be able to use the TI Navigators (housed on a rolling cart). Along with either their classroom computer, or a laptop, the teachers and students can collect data, manipulate and analyze it, and present it on the classroom television, or using a projector. Currently the school only possesses one set of TI Navigators, which are not being fully utilized by all ten mathematics teachers, due to scheduling of the single set of TI Navigators. Lewisville ISD is currently offering training for the use of the TI Navigator system, and is planning for a session using a Calculator -Based Laboratory (CBL) system, wherein calculators are utilized by non - mathematics teachers to explore use of data in science with students. Use of the above technology will improve mathematics teachers' ability to address appropriate Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards during the spring semester, including the following: Algebra 1 TEKS - Basic Understanding: (5) Tools for algebraic thinking. Techniques for working with functions and equations are essential in understanding underlying relationships. Students use a variety of representations (concrete, pictorial, numerical, symbolic, graphical, and verbal), tools, and technology (including, but not limited to, calculators with graphing capabilities, data collection devices, and computers) to model mathematical situations to solve meaningful problems. (6) Underlying mathematical processes. Many processes underlie all content areas in mathematics. As they do mathematics, students continually use problem - solving, language and communication, and reasoning (justification and proof) to make connections within and outside mathematics. Students also use multiple representations, technology, applications and modeling, and numerical fluency in problem- solving contexts. Algebra 1 A and 1B courses at Killough LHS -N are each 18 weeks in length, meeting 90 minutes each day. There are approximately 27 students in each Algebra 1 A class, with a current total enrollment of 460 students in the classes. The Algebra lA (and continuing Algebra 1B) mathematics classes will have the opportunity to utilize the TI Navigator system on a weekly basis, and will benefit from the utilization of the TI Navigator system, InterWrite SchoolPad and various computer software programs available for data analysis and presentation. To address the math objectives below, and increase students' access to technology, we will need one Standard TI Navigator Classroom Learning System (complete with thirty -two calculators and associated software) and eight InterWrite SchoolPad systems. Thus, the per- student cost of this project ($7675.00 project cost, divided by 460 students) is approximately $16.68. With nearly one thousand students enrolled at Killough LHS -N, the use of the TI Navigator system will service 47% of the student population. We consider this to be a highly cost- effective investment in improving our students' skills. Future acquisition of additional TI Navigator systems will enable teaching staff to service the remaining students enrolled in Algebra 1 and Geometry classes, and possibly cross - curricula in science and business /technology courses. LISD CEDC Applications 15 The mathematics teaching staff at Killough LHS -N is already trained on the use of the TI Navigator system, and they can share their knowledge with those already employed at the school. Ro Stark, the department chair person will be in charge of training and implementation. The school's computer systems are already equipped with Microsoft Office 2003 products, so no additional software is required at this time. The following strategies and activities will be performed with the TI Navigator system: • Use the "Activity Center" feature, allowing students to contribute to a shared workspace that's projected to, the class. Students will work collaboratively by contributing a point, equation or list, thus generating an opportunity for classroom discussion. Students may explore core concepts in this engaging manner, helping to promote a deeper understanding of the concepts. This activity can generate more collaborative discussion and, ultimately, higher student achievement. • Use the "Quick Poll" feature, allowing for real -time feedback and instant assessment of student understanding. Teachers can immediately gauge student comprehension and areas in need of reinforcement with the Quick Poll feature. The program allows the teacher to obtain digital answers from every student, eliminating vocal responses (which can be intimidating), giving every student a "voice ". Teachers will be able to identify and correct common mistakes as they occur and, if necessary, adjust their lessons. • Use the "Screen Capture" feature, enabling teachers to monitor the students' work to ensure they are on track and on task. Teachers can instantly view screen shots of each of the students' work using "Screen Capture," tracking students' level of understanding and quickly assessing whether they are on task. • Use "Class Analysis" tools, allowing for an immediate display of student results on assignments, quizzes and tests, so teachers know right away who's "got it" and who needs additional help. By using the TI Navigator system, we expect to meet the following objectives for our students: • Every student enrolled in Algebra 1A and 1B will successfully identify the general forms of linear (y = x) and quadratic (y = x parent functions from a graph using the screen capture function of the TI Navigator, as assessed by the teacher, through observation, work samples, and grades. • 75% of students enrolled in Algebra 1 A and 1B will demonstrate competence in collecting and organizing data, to make and interpret scatter plots (including recognizing positive, negative, or no correlation for data approximating linear situations), and to model, predict and make decisions and critical judgments in problem situations with TI calculator applications, TI navigator screen capture, and TI Class Analysis, as assessed by the teacher, through observation, work samples, and grades. • 75% of students enrolled in Algebra lA and 1B will demonstrate proficiency in using, translating, and making connections among algebraic, tabular, graphical, or verbal descriptions of linear functions with the TI calculator applications, TI navigator screen capture, TI Class Analysis, and TI Learning Check as assessed by the teacher, through observation, work samples, and grades. LISD CEDC Applications 16 • 75% of students enrolled in Algebra lA and 1B will develop the concept of slope as rate of change and will demonstrate competency in determining slopes from graphs, tables and algebraic representations with the TI calculator applications, TI navigator screen capture, TI Class Analysis, and TI Learning Check as assessed by the teacher, through observation, work samples, and grades. • 75% of students enrolled in Algebra lA and 1B will investigate, describe and predict the effects of changes in m and b on the graph of y = mx + b (including parallel and perpendicular) from a graph, verbal description, equation, and table, proficiently, using the screen capture function of the TI Navigator as assessed by the teacher, through observation, work samples, and grades. • 75% of students enrolled in Algebra lA and 1B will investigate, describe, and predict the effects of changes in c on the graph of y = ax +c, proficiently, using the screen capture function of the TI Navigator as assessed by the teacher, through observation, work samples, and grades.

Students' proficiency and competence for each objective may be readily observed using instant feedback with the TI screen capture, reports given with the TI Class Analysis, and teacher evaluation. Thus, mastery of objectives described in the Description of Proposal section will be measured using teacher observation, student work samples, and grades. In addition, data gathered from the Math TAKS benchmark, will provide a long term outcome measurement of the project's effectiveness. Finally, qualitative information regarding the implementation of the hardware and classroom activities will be obtained through student feedback and observed engagement for each lesson.

LISD CEDC Applications 20 Lewisville High School 1: Abstract of Project /Activity Lewisville High School (LHS) is located at the juncture of FM 1171 (Main Street) and Valley Parkway in Lewisville. Current enrollment is 2650 students, of which nearly 40% come from economically disadvantaged households. This means that, for a large number of our students, access to technology comes primarily through the school setting. With an increased demand for the use of technology in mathematics and science- related careers, facility in use of technology is an essential skill for our students to be competitive in the workplace of the future. In fact, one of our campus improvement plan goals at LHS is for student leaming to "be enhanced through the increased use of technology in instruction in the classroom." Thus, the purpose of this grant proposal is to request funding to purchase additional technology for integration into student instruction. More specifically, we are requesting 5 InterWrite school pads to allow dynamic, interactive participation of students in real time; 3 digital document cameras to improve visual display of text and other materials to students; and 8 digital projectors to allow visual display of student and teacher interactions via the school pads and digital document cameras. The school pads and cameras are only functional when ongoing visual display is available to the entire class. Total cost of requested funding is $9,917. This request falls within the Coppell Education Development Corporation guideline for promoting career technology for a skilled workforce. At the same time, technology purchased with grant funding will allow us to supplement secondary literacy activities in a variety of contexts, from English/Language arts to Art and Webmastering /Multimedia classes. All students will potentially benefit from use of the proposed technology. LISD CEDC Applications 21 II. Description of Proposal and Nature of Request A great deal of research has supported a link between the use of instructional technology and student motivation (e.g., Tomlinson, 1999), especially students from diverse backgrounds. Students report that they enjoy hands -on, interactive instructional approaches that technology may help to support. In addition, McClure (2006) reported that use of interactive technology (in this case, wireless calculators linked with a teacher's PC and digital projectors) in math classes resulted in substantial increases in students' passing rates on standardized math tests. Finally, the US Department of Labor (2005) reported projections that the demand for jobs in "professional, scientific, and technical services will grow by 28.4 percent and add 1.9 million new jobs by 2014. Employment in computer systems design and related services will grow by 39.5 percent and add almost one -fourth of all new jobs in professional, scientific, and technical services" ( http: / /stat.bls.gov /oco /oco2003.htm , retrieved 10/10/06). One of the challenges in core academic departments is using technology in meaningful ways. For example, math departments may put calculators in students' hands for use in math drills, but meaningfully incorporating the use of computers and instructional technology into instruction is a different matter. The innovation of making technology interactive and dynamic, however, adds an attention - grabbing and motivating dimension to instruction. Technology such as that offered by InterWrite school pads allows a teacher to do more than simply stand and lecture to students. A teacher may move freely about the classroom while delivering instruction, students may respond and see their efforts instantly displayed visually for all to see, the teacher can then adjust instruction, ask another student to respond additively, and so on. At the end, the entire interaction may be saved to the teacher's PC and printed out for all the students to take with them. At LHS, our instructional staff has access to technology, but students often do not have access to the same equipment as teachers. This is affected by various factors, including the need to prioritize resource allocation due to limited funding. For example, only three total math and science courses presently have InterWrite pads available for use. Sti l:ents in the classes must rotate use of the technology, making their interaction with the technology quite brief. This severely limits our ability integrate technology into every day instruction. We have informally observed increased student interest and teacher efficiency when we integrate technology meaningfully into classroom instruction, but we do not presently have the resources to expand this limited success. For example, an informal student survey conducted in an Algebra I class using interactive school pads during October 2006 indicated that students felt if they did not understand an instruction or task they could use the board without getting out of their seat, thus, avoiding the embarrassment of walking up to the teacher in front of the whole class. Students also indicated that they may email their notes to themselves for later use. Finally, teachers reported they can use the pads from anywhere in the classroom, rather than having to stand in front of the board and potentially blocking at least some students' view. Given our campus improvement plan goal to enhance student learning through the increased use of technology in classroom instruction, we reason that it is essential to substantially upgrade and expand availability of instructional technology for classroom use at LHS. We reason that adding InterWrite school pads and digital projectors will allow us to better meet this goal. In addition, the purchase of digital document cameras will allow us to place any writing or document, such as a page from a textbook or a science slide, on the camera to display instantly to all students at once. Time previously spent preparing, for example, overhead transparencies may hereafter be used for preparing interactive, engaging instruction. Displaying LISD CEDC Applications 22 text via digital document cameras may be reasonably expected to improve students' comprehension, as well, in comparison to overhead transparencies written out long -hand. Thus, our specific technology needs include the following: • 5 InterWrite school pads to allow dynamic, interactive participation of students in real time; • 3 digital document cameras to improve visual display of text and other materials to students; and • 8 digital projectors to allow visual display of student and teacher interactions via the school pads and digital document cameras. The school pads and cameras are only functional when ongoing visual display is available to the entire class. Our long -term goal is to have use of InterWrite school pads and digital document cameras available for incorporation into all classroom instruction for all students at LHS. We reason that funding for the above proposed instructional technology falls within the Coppell Education Development Corporation's initiative to promote career technology for a skilled workforce. Our Technology department at LISD has a renowned, long -term plan for improving and increasing the use of instructional technology, and we have made great strides toward our goals, however, resources are limited. Without the additional funding available through the Coppell Education Development Corporation we anticipate that our progress toward the goal will be substantially delayed, with the net effect of denying present students access to instructional technology needed to prepare them to compete in the workplace of the future. LISD CEDC Applications 23 Grant funding will allow us to meet the following objectives: • Increase the number of students utilizing interactive instructional technology (InterWrite school pads and/or digital document cameras) in at least one core academic class per year by 50% by May 2007; and • Increase the number of students reporting increased interest and motivation in classes in which instructional technology is available, by 50% by May 2007 The instructional technology for which we have requested grant funding is anticipated to be compatible with technology currently in use on our campus, and has been reviewed and recommended by our campus technology facilitator. It is possible that software upgrades may be necessary at some point, however, we anticipate department budgets will accommodate those needs. Training in use of the additional instructional technology will be provided by three campus staff already trained in its use.

LISD CEDC Applications 25 IV. Project Measurements and Evaluation We anticipate that 100% of our 2,650 students at LHS will eventually have access to the technology described in this proposal over the course of their high school careers. Given that instructional technology is a durable investment, we reason that it is logical to assume all our students will be given the opportunity to access the technology over time. For a total funding request of $10,096.95/2650 students, the cost - per - student will be $3.81. A more conservative, itemized (1 year) estimate follows: • At present, we have three InterWrite school pads in use; @ 25 students per class, X 6 classes taught annually, X 3 teachers = 250 students. Extending use of the technology by purchasing 5 additional school pads and projectors yields an additional 750 students served annually. A total cost of $5,825 for the school pads /750 students = $7.77 per student. • With the addition of 3 digital document cameras and projectors at a total cost of $4,092, we anticipate serving 250 students. $4,092/250 students = $16.37 per student served. Measures used to evaluate our objectives include: number of students exposed to the new instructional technology; teacher observations; informal teacher and student surveys; and grades.

Box 217 Lewisville, Texas 75067 (972) 539 -1551 1800 Timber Creek Rd. Flower Mound, TX 75028 The No Child Left Behind Act requires public reporting of the District's progress in meeting the requirements concerning Highly Qualified teachers. Areas required to be reported include Highly Qualified Teachers, as well as Highly Qualified Teachers by State "High Poverty Quartile" campuses and State "Low Poverty Quartile" campuses. For 2005 -06, LISD had no campuses included in the state's High Poverty Quartile. The reporting requirement includes a comparison of district data to the state's aggregated data and targets, extending back to the baseline, the 2002-03 school year. In the report for 2005 -06, LISD had 2,579 teachers serving in the core academic subject areas and 223 special educators serving special education students in the core academic areas. NCLB core academic areas include English, language arts, reading, mathematics, science, history, geography, government, economics, languages- other- than - English and fine arts. 100% of LISD teachers in core academic areas met the "Highly Qualified" standard; and 96.41% of LISD special educators met the "Highly Qualified" standard. The "HQ" profiles for the remaining special educators from the 2005 -06 report have been resolved in such a way that 100% of these LISD teachers returning for the 2006 -07 school year have now met the NCLB "HQ" standard.* The four -year comparison of Highly Qualified LISD teachers to the State Aggregate and State Annual Target is presented below: of HQ % of HQ % of Classes % of Classes SCHOOL Teachers Teachers Taught by HQ Taught by HQ YEAR LISD STATE LISD Teachers Teachers in STATE 2002 -03 97.58% 93.16% (75.8% Target) 98.27% 91.14% (69.30% Tgt) 2003 -04 98.92% 96.00% (80.00 %Target) 98.86% 96.06% (80.00% Tgt) 2004 -05 98.55% 97.00% (90.00 %Target) 99.93% 97.70% (90.00% Tgt) 2005 -06 100.00 %Reg. 98.65% Reg. 98.50% Reg. 97.30% (100% Tgt) 96.41% SpEd.* 95.25% Sp.Ed. 95.10% Sp.Ed. 86.09% (100% Tgt) *As of the 5/31/2006 reporting date.
