TF - V Productivity and Professional Practice

The classes taken to address this standard was:

EDTC 5465 Instructional Design

I created instructional materials that reflect current theory and research on learning, exemplify a creative infusion of technology into the content areas, and approach assessment as a dynamic, process-oriented component of the learning experience. One of the major assignments I created was Noodle Cadoodle Counting students applying the concept of one-to-one correspondence when counting and comparing objects. The objectives of the lesson were

  1. Students will be able to accurately count a set of items.
  2. Students will be able to compare two or more sets of items and indicate which set has more items and which has fewer items.
  3. Students will be able to hand out one item to each child in the class.

EDTC 6022 Designing Accessible Learning Communities

Key Assessments:

Accessibility Plan -- Create an accessible learning community by removing and preventing barriers for students with disabilities. In compliance with Federal laws, presenting the ethical issues, incorporating Universal Design Principles, and assistive technology in the classroom ultimately to enhance the school experiences of students with disabilities.

Universal Design Action Plan -- The plan included the key people who will ensure the plan gets accomplished; a goal statement that is clear, specific, measurable, and attainable. A step-by-step outline of what is to be done, and the plan included start and end dates as well as check-in dates and celebration dates. Details are included about dates and times for each step of the action plan. Assistive technologies and technology are integrated accommodations to the environment. The plan also included universal design principles to the curriculum materials and instructional resources.

Professional Growth Plan -- Build my own Professional Growth Plan. As a leader and coach in educational technology keeping up with not only the latest tools and the best practices is essential.
