Proposal Description:

Part 1: Give a detailed description of this TLC; state what new learning participant(s) will acquire through this proposal

For several years the district has been trying to get teachers to use an on-line curriculum that Linda Foote first discovered for the district. It is a package of hundreds of lessons in 5 curricular areas (English, Math, Science, Spanish, Social Science). The curriculum is developed around learner-centered tools, lessons, and resources with measurable outcomes and uses interactive components that foster higher-order thinking skills. Resources enable differentiated instruction and 21st century skills are integrated throughout the content.

Through this course I will learn to: Locate resources by type, topic and related state standard Identify the type of resources best-suited to a particular purpose Utilize all features of software, such as Assign, Flags, Blogs, Search Develop assessments Reinforce, enhance, and remediate student learning by differentiating lessons Facilitate teacher training in the use of this curriculum

This year teachers across the U.S. are participating in a Teach 3 Master's program, of which I am a participant. Upon successful completion of these requirements for two consecutive years, I will be awarded SAS® Curriculum Pathways® Master Teacher status.

I will be certified to give instruction to PUSD teachers in the use of Curriculum Pathways software.

Part 2: Complete the chart to show what the evidence of acquisition will be.
