the Texas Long Range Plan

Many of the goals and visions the state is trying to achieve in its Texas Long Range Plan have been reiterated each year at the Humble ISD Back to School teacher rallies. One detail that I was shocked to learn about was that administrators and leaders had to develop a continuity plan for students in time of a disaster. I guess it makes all the sense in the world, but I just never thought about what could happen and how a school or district would approach a disastrous situation. I also was not aware that a technical support team had to be readily available 24 hrs a day in case the infrastructure fails or security is compromised. This new knowledge will be useful as an administrator. I am a person that attacks a problem immediately to assess total damages and repair. If I discovered that part of the infrastructure (network) went down at 10:30 pm, I would be able to immediately address the situation with the help of tech support. I know it doesn’t sound like a big inspirational moment, but with my luck in life, everything always seems to go wrong exactly when you need it to be right the most. Its my dumb luck but it will also be my dumb luck as an administrator. As for technology integration, it is comforting to know that use of sources will be immediately addressed so that students are able to maintain educational technology.
