Follow-up+plan

= Follow-up Plan =

My follow-up plan consists of the following activities:


 * Teachers will be required to publish their group codes for Edmodo for their assignment as soon it's finalized, so that when they began to teach their units for the second nine weeks, the administrators and I will be able to see how the students are progressing and utilizing the technology in the classroom.
 * Student surveys will be given by teachers to use with the Activ-Expressions clickers. The results will show on the Promethean board and the teacher will discuss the results with the class. Using input from students, teachers will modify the unit plans as needed. Teachers will save the results as a grade and this information is to be sent to me once the technology-filled differentiated unit is completed. Teachers are responsible as part of the self-reflection assessment criteria of the course to compose an essay after they teach the unit. This essay will include students survey results and will be emailed to me.
 * Teachers will also be given an additional online survey once they have completed teaching the unit. This survey will indicate areas that are needed for improvement: Sample Questions: 1) Were students able to use Edmodo without any problems? 2) What were some of the problems with using the technology for the unit in differentiation? 3) If you could recommend any changes to the course what would you suggest as an area of improvement? 4) Do you need further training in this area or an advanced session in using technology to differentiate instruction? 5) What would you change in the unit after viewing the results of the students' surveys and assessment scores?
 * If teacher unit plans are successful, teachers will post their units to their teacher's pages of our school website for public perusal. All unit plans will be posted in the Staff Share folder under the appropriate subject area for in house use and peer evaluation for more strategies before the units are posted online. Students and parents will be able to view the online units and know what to expect in the classroom. Students will also be able to work at home online with Edmodo, and parents can look at the unit to help their children. Eventually all differentiated units will be posted in Staff Share to help the entire staff learn how to use technological tools to differentiate instruction.
 * Test scores will be monitored to see if students are performing better on formative assessments; CRCT scores will also be monitored to see if there is gain in SWD students performance as well as all other subgroups at our school. The ultimate goal is to see if the technology-filled differentiated lessons improve students understanding and therefore results in higher test scores for the students at our school.
 * The CCRPI score index will also be monitored to see if our school has made any gains.
