My Personal GAME Plan

My goal is to strengthen my confidence and proficiency in indicators a and b of standard one of the National Education Standards for Teachers. Standard one calls for teachers to facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity. Indicator a requires teachers to promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. Indicator b suggest that teachers should engage students in real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.

            My action to help me accomplish my goals is to use authentic instruction in my classroom. I will use more project-based and problem-based learning with my students that incorporate different forms of technology. I will make sure that the projects the students create are based around both content and real-world issues.

            I plan to monitor my progress by evaluating my students and the success of their learning through the authentic instruction. I will also monitor my students’ use of technology along with my own modeling of technology in the classroom.

            I think a good way for me to evaluate my own learning through this process would be through journaling. I am going to keep a journal to reflect on each lesson and determine what aspects of the lesson went well and how may be able to improve the lesson next time I present it. I believe I can extend my learning to help me reach my goals by continuing to participate in professional development on different types of technology and authentic instruction
