The components of the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology provide the framework and timelines necessary to prepare students with the technology and real-world skills they will need in order to compete in the ever changing world we live in. This plan serves as a guide to instructional agencies and individual instructional leaders in providing instruction and resources for students to achieve those skills. The campus leader serves as a model for technology use and allocated needed resources to teachers and students. In this role, the leader is a critical component of implementation of the Long-Range Plan.
