Digital And Collaborative Learning Practices

The evidence for this task could be presented in the form of a written report or presentation. If a presentation is the form chosen to present the evidence, you must include a witness statement from the assessor/tutor and use the following points as guidelines:

Must be “based on the individual needs of the students and not on a disability category.”

My first piece of evidence is my Foundations of Teaching Final paper for the course TAL 806, Foundations of Teaching Urban Special Education: Adolescence. I chose this piece of evidence because this paper at a very early stage of my teaching career shows my naivety but ability

To support this assignment and highlight the provisions made to support SEN children evidence was collected from the school and other areas. This also helped illustrate any areas of weakness.

Problems I experienced were not having a great area content, but I was lacking complete knowledge. I think my content and language objectives worked well, as for the other concepts lacked in details. I think I was more involved with the content and did not give enough information in when it came to interaction and lesson delivery. I think the involvement should have been explained at greater length. I lacked the focus on what I should do rather than the students.

One of the main focuses of my time as an instructional specialist has been to increase the amount of technology that is integrated into the classroom and used by the students. I believe we have been very successful in increasing the technology usage of both our staff and students over the past three years. We have focused on moving from substitutionary use of technology in the classroom to transformational use. I am very pleased with the progress of the staff in learning how to use the new technology, both hardware and software, and then adapting their classrooms to put those pieces of technology into the hands of the students. I believe it has been an eye-opening experience for the staff to see what the students are capable of producing. I rated most of the standards on the ISTE as a 3 or 4 in importance because I truly believe that as educators we have a responsibility to put or students in the best possible situations to compete in both the career and college arenas against their peers. That means exposing them to technology in as many relevant ways as possible. Many times this pushes teachers outside their comfort zones which can be scary, but also leads to growth and increased capacity within your staff. I feel as a leader it is my responsibility to further my knowledge in regards to technology as teachers look to their administration to set the examples for behavior and expectations within the

There are several things I would do to collect this evidence. I would take note of student responses during the intervention and mark off in my clipboard as they met the standard. I would also collect this evidence after our small group intervention. I would give each student a quick-check to check for comprehension. I would evaluate student data and see if the interventions being placed are effective for the students. An intervention can only be successful when done with objectivity, and when it is supported by close examination of assessment data and teaching practices. It’s important to regularly analyze data and adjust our interventions according to data

Evidence-based instruction includes reliable and valuable data obtained from your classroom. When you apply basil tests, unit tests, exit slips, and acuity assessments you need to collect the data from your classroom to organize your classroom groups. You should also use this data to decide who needs AIS or tiered interventions for certain areas. Instructional practices include the previously mentioned assessments. Pretests for all units of instruction can also help you understand what your students already know and who is weak in certain areas. For example, a unit on main idea and details using passages can be difficult for some students. Running records will help to determine what reading level your students are on. From this

Even though my teaching in this district is limited I have became aware of the high standards they expect of their teachers and students. After investigating my school district and their strategies of obtaining success for themselves as they set high standards for their students. I have grown more appreciative and honored to be an employee at my local high school district. My mentoring teacher excels in implementing technology into her classroom. Her lessons regularly revolve around using technology to heighten learning skills in her classroom. Her students are drawn to these activities and willing to easily adapt and interact in the lesson. I have also learned from my mentor that parental involvement is a necessity and should always be evident in our classrooms and in the district. As parents are more engaged they will be more in tune with their children’s learning and informed about class activities and school functions. Our districts middle school has recently purchased iPads (one-to-one) for their students to utilize. The following year (2015-2016) the high school will continue with this technology plan. The teachers and students have great expectation for this technology being implemented into the district. This year our district faculty is receiving extensive training on how to implement iPad technology into each of their classrooms. My district goes above and beyond to provide a safe learning atmosphere that promotes students’ learning and assures

H2: There is no relationship between teachers’ level of technology implementation and student achievement at GVCC.

The respondents to the survey include Ms. Jilibian and Ms. Knox who are Special Education teachers in co-taught classrooms. They have both been at the school for more than one year. Dr. Poole, like myself, is new to the school. She is the Art teacher. The request was presented to the aforementioned teachers and one administrator that agreed to participate in the technology mentor group as mentees. They were each asked complete a LoTi like technology survey and an Adopter Survey to assist in determining individual their coaching needs. Of the four invitations that were extended, the three teachers completed the LoTi like survey and two teachers completed the Adopter Survey. The surveys were created within our class PLC groups and adapted as needed to fit the needs of the teachers within my mentoring group. They completed the surveys using Google Forms. Following the completion of the surveys, I spoke with one of the teachers to get a more in-depth understanding of her needs and desires to grow as a technology leader. Each classroom with an eBeam, teacher laptop, projector, and iRespond systems. The general and Special Education classrooms are equipped with at least 2 computers. In addition, teachers have access to two computer labs, three laptop carts, and two iPad carts that are available as needed and must be checked out from the librarian.

Weakness The weakness are having to put words together to explore ideas. Finding other materials to implement in the lesson plan to help the children want to

Information and communication have changed rapidly during the past decades, both hardware, software and networking. Many communication devices are smaller and easier to use and are more convenient. For example, smart phones, PDAs, portable computers, iPad, and tablets are important tools for study so having them smaller and easier to use is of great value.
