Standard V: Productivity and Professional Practice My school district is changing / updating their web based gradebook program. The high school, where I teach, is also loosing their full time tech support person. This gradebook change, combined with the tech support loss, will cause a great deal of stress among faculty once school begins again in the Fall. I have made arrangements with district tech support to become proficient at the new system and offer my services to teachers who wish to learn it before Fall and to be available for others this Fall and throughout the year.
I will also explore and evaluate potential online resources for teachers.
Since I was one of the teachers given and electronic chalkboard this last year, I will also instruct teachers in the use of the electronic chalkboards and projectors that are being installed throughout the high school this summer. I already have teachers asking me to help them this summer with this technology.
Standard III. Teaching, Learning, and the Curriculum Our summer school credit recovery program is web based. Students meet in the computer lab and are self-paced through the program. As part of my implementation of Standard III, I will assist students with technical as well as academic issues so that their experience and learning is maximized.
