This is how I believe the successful accomplishment of my goals will lead to improved educator/student learning.
I feel that after the teacher sees the quality of work and the satisfaction of the students the teacher will look for other ways technology can be incorporated into their current lessons.
This is how I plan to evaluate my progress toward reaching my goals. (checkpoints, indicators of success, etc.)
I will keep the lines of communication open by asking questions about the progress of the lesson. I hope to allow the teacher the opportunity to express their ideas and creativity.
We agree to work together as a collaborative team to implement this plan.
