Documenting instructional transformation journey through various formats

Below are some examples that I have documented in which ways teachers have implemented suggested instructional strategies. After co-planning and modeling, I often visit classrooms to take video/pictures to document for collaboration with other schools as well as give them recognition of their efforts. This is done via Twitter. In addition, a personal email will be sent cc'ing principal and STAT teacher to recognize their efforts as well. Below are some examples I have tweeted out (that reflects BCPS initiatives)

Facilitated , modeled, and co-planned with STAT teacher and classroom teachers to incorporate various instructional strategies to support technology integration.

Some examples below are:

Collaborative tools (Edmodo, Google Drive, WIkispaces)

Formative Assessment (Socrative, Padlet, Todaysmeet, PollEverywhere, Mentimeter,

Flipped learning (Zaption, Board Builder (DE product)

Digital Storytelling

Using technology to support standards-based, personalized instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
During my initial coaching meetings with teachers we began with the standards, and identified targeted knowledge and skills at the proficiency level that they taught.

Second, we selected the technology with which they were most proficient and/or willing to dive into integrate it only where it enhances the students' overall learning experience.

Third, I stressed keeping it keeping it simple. After teachers and their students became more comfortable in a technologically-enhanced learning environment, then they can then increase the variety and quantity of technology usage in their standards-based curriculum.

Creating a Learner-Centered Environment

Creating a Learner-Centered Environment 

# data[].attributes.body
Initially when I met with teachers I shared with them my role in regard to supporting them with BCPS initiatives. We discussed ways to implement ideas and strategies to reflect a learner-centered environment. Below are some key points and examples that were discussed/co-planned during our coach meetings. Stressed the importance of creating this environment will take a process and all points will not be established overnight.

1. Giving students a voice and having them be able to share their learning with each other ( implementing stations, small group instruction, simulation )

2.Giving students a choice to strengthen their knowledge of a particular skill using different low or high tech activities (infogrok, discovery assets, SOS strategies, podcast, debates)

3.Teachers and students should establish time to write and reflect on what is being learned (journal, back-channel)

4.Provide opportunities for students to be innovative or try project based learning ( build a roller coaster by viewing a video, simulation activity, have culminating projects where they create web pages, board builder, PowerPoint)

5.Allow them to challenge you and ask questions (model for them how to ask questions that are rigorous)

6.Give students tough challenges and let them find the solutions (independent and/or small group, using internet)

7.Use online or paper portfolios to document their self-assessment (OneNote)

8.Connect students' learning ( bringing experts to talk about a topic, virtual field trips (discovery) video conferencing (famous author)  Example:
