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

In the article Building Better Instruction, meta-analysis of findings from a number of studies shows instructional strategies that have a high probability of enhancing student achievement for all students in all subject areas at all grade levels. This research based article lists technology integration that supports the 9 instructional strategies identified. My peer coach from my campus and I have worked to base my goals, her goals, and the student goals utilizing these instructional strategies and technology integration. Modifications for diverse student learners and student-centered lessons have been identified for projects. A range of types of learning have been considered. Everything that we can think of has been considered so that students will be successful.

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

The unit of study should take place over the first six weeks of school. During this time, the campus peer coach and I will modify and adjust the activities as needed. My peer coach is excited to use the culminating activity for student portfolios so I feel like the complete unit will be completed. The amount of activities that are done independent of the computer lab setting will be a good indicator of success for my goals. Projects completed will show student success.

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