This is how I believe the successful accomplishment of my goals will lead to improved student learning.

By collaborating to use technology as one tool to create student-centered classrooms, we will be able to help students construct new knowledge and use it to creatively solve problems, think about issues and concept in complex ways, and become more independent, active learners. We will also be able to reach diverse learners by focusing our teaching strategies toward student-centered learning.

This is how I plan to evaluate my progress toward reaching my goals. (checkpoints, indicators of success, etc.)

We will meet at least monthly to discuss new ideas for integrating technology. Ms. Germany will observe lessons and provide appropriate feedback.

We agree to work together as a collaborative team to implement this plan.
