Goal #1 for
Professional Growth:
To increase the use of updated technology in my classroom that
will help students be successful in today’s changing world.
Rationale: Why did you choose to
enhance your growth in this area? (Include the data sources used to
determine the need for this goal.)
It is important to stay updated in the use of technologies that will
help students succeed in the future. Our computer lab has been updated
to G4 machines running system 10. I will need to be ready to upgrade
the programs, program use, and curriculum that will keep students in
line with other successful technology programs around the country.
List the building/district goal:
Long-range Goal 4: All K-12 students will demonstrate the ability to
use and apply technology for success beyond high school.
Describe the actions you plan to take
to accomplish this professional growth goal:
Do online research that will keep me up to date on the latest
technology trends and curriculum that have been successful.
Work with technology coordinators and instructors on what has been
successful in their school districts.
Work with Area Education Association to stay updated on software.
Describe how these training and
learning opportunities will contribute to the district career
development plan and the district/building goal:
By upgrading the technology program at Carroll Middle School, the
students will be more successful in High School, College, and their
future work place.
List supports and resources that will
be needed (time, access to training, peer coaching opportunities, etc.):
Professional development time to communicate with technology
professionals, and do online research. Time to write updated lessons
for using technology.
Identify the criteria for determining
that this goal has been met (use measurable and observable terms):
The students will create computer projects that create information in
universal format that can be transferred without losing data. They need
to save artifacts (pictures, video, sounds) to the project folder using
the correct title extentions. (.jpg, .mov, .wpt, .xma) This will allow
the project to be moved without losing data. This is an important web
creating skill. They will transfer images (charts) from spreadsheets to
a paint program and save as jpeg images for later use.
Describe the educational benefits you
expect to acquire as a result of you implementation of this
professional development plan:
Learn new ways to prepare students in the areas of technology that will
engage them and prepare them for the future.
List the Iowa Teaching Standards and
Criteria that will be addressed by these learning opportunities:
