How
May I Help You?
Ahhhh!
The dreaded evaluation may be upon you sooner than
you think. To complicate matters, the use of
technology in the classroom is a BIG part
of both the Kentucky Experienced Teacher Standards
and the Kentucky New Teacher Standards.
While colleges prepare new teachers to incorporate
technology in the classroom learning environment,
veteran teachers frequently forget that they are
being evaluated on the use of technology while
they teach lessons in the classroom. The
beautiful lessons you demonstrated for your
principal in years past will not pass muster
according to today's standards.
It
would be my pleasure to collaborate with you as
you prepare for your observation. I can
assist you with technology integration ideas for
any subject area. As you get closer to your
observation, I can even help you to set up and/or
practice your use of technology.
Assessing
Your Needs
During
the next month, I will be giving you a couple of
really quick surveys to fill out. The first
brief survey will help us to identify your
strengths and weaknesses on Experienced Teacher
Standard 10 or New Teacher Standard 9. I
will follow that with another quick survey to
learn about your technology goals and learning
preferences.
