Research and Evaluation

Significant Work: Technology

Current Work:

Vision 2020: Ysleta Virtual School Program Evaluation: SEDL is conducting an evaluation of the Vision 2020: Ysleta Virtual School project, funded by the Virtual Learning Strand of the Texas Education Agency’s Vision 2020 Cycle 2 grant. The evaluation is assessing program implementation and outcomes, and providing information for improvement. The Ysleta Virtual School project aims to provide high school students with computers and access to the Texas Virtual School Network to enable all district students, especially those who are homebound, to complete course work online. In addition, teacher representatives are receiving professional development in integrating technology into instruction and in planning online lessons and assessments.

Past Work:

Ysleta Independent School District's Integrating Technology, Academics, Leadership & Knowledge (iTALK) Project Evaluation: SEDL was the external evaluator for this 2-year Texas Education Agency STaR grant-funded project. The project was a district-wide initiative designed to advance the technology leadership, knowledge, and proficiency of collaborative teams of campus and district administrators, district academic and support administrators, and campus technology coordinators and teacher leader cadres. SEDL consulted with project leaders to gather survey, interview, and observation data for formative and summative reports.
