PPDP

This PPDP is an agreement between and Arts Educator 2.0. The purpose of this Personal Professional Development Plan is to construct professional development goals for grant participants in a collaborative and meaningful way. Progress towards the following goals is the responsibility of the participant and will be monitored by the instructional coach and grant evaluator.


 * Goal #1: (//Provided by ArtsEducator2.0//) Develop and implement a standards-aligned rich task **

>> ***WEBINARS- ** Consisted of many subjects pertaining to education. **Example:** Elluminate, Standards, Anchors, Assessment, Technologies, Skype, Unit Planning, Big Ideas, Content and Process, Rubrics, Integrating Math and Science, Adaptation and Accommodations.  >> * **Class- **Many class discussions about different characteristics of teaching. Learned multiple technologies to help prevail in the classroom. With many busy schedules there was built in work time that was beneficial to the class. Questions and Answer time was throughout the day with mentors on site. During the classes we had detailed presentations with community based programs that are involved in the arts and will be a positive to all school districts.
 * In order to meet this goal, the following steps will be taken:
 * I will participate in 7 webinars that deliver content related to writing the unit of study. 
 * I will participate in 5 face to face meetings at the IU1 where I will have time to interact and collaborate with other teachers about the content and technologies relevant to unit writing.
 * I will work with my mentor and collaborate with other grant participants to draft the unit in stages as content is delivered and discussed. Upon completion of the unit, I will submit the unit for review. 
 * I will complete any necessary revisions of the unit and resubmit by June 30, 2009.

> Progress will be documented in the following ways:  *During the early sessions, my mentor and I discussed many issues dealing with standards and how our lessons should align with the standards stated. During these hours Mrs. Leslie Gates showed me how to use Google Docs along with some other text friendly programs. Also during this time Mrs. Gates advised and gave suggestions on my unit concerning edits and corrections. Mrs. Gates was very helpful during the process of the Unit plan. She gave me extra ideas and thoughts for the lessons as well as my rubric. The unit plan can be viewed here...

 * I will draft the unit using Google Docs that will be shared among participants with which I am collaborating as well as my mentor.
 * I will be accountable to deadlines that coincide with the face-to-face meetings at the IU1.
 * I will save/record necessary communication between me and my mentor or other grant personnel regarding my unit writing progress. **<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">*Information- ** Saved and recorded information can be located with the following links:
 * **BOOK READINGS AND DISCUSSION**:
 * Reading
 * My unit of study will be reviewed by a team of grant personnel including the co-directors, evaluator, and representatives from grant partners.
 * The team will assess the proficiency of my unit using a rubric that was explained to me at the beginning of the AE2.0 Project. The rubric will be used to determine if my unit is Advanced, Proficient, Basic, or Below Basic.
 * Read books related to technology integration.
 * Consider the best purchases/ needs assessment <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">*PURCHASE: Vado, Ipod, Projector, Books, Videos.
 * Explore ways to fund technology purchases (fundraisers, grants, etc.)<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> *CLASS DISCUSSIONS
 * Incorporate new knowledge into existing lesson/ unit plans.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> *I am able to create fulfilled lessons that are more beneficial to the students in my classroom.
 * Consider developing new lessons that utilize new technology.

It has helped me as an educator and the students in their learning. Technology can be a struggle at times; however with the right training it can do wonders. My students complain sometimes when a new task is given but at the end of the project they are signing up for the next course. The only problem that we as public educators sometimes face is how much technology we have. We are sometimes limited to numbers of computers, cameras, scanners etc... I plan on taking all of this knowledge and using it in my future lessons. Here is some work by my students in the class. They used cameras, computers, microphones, Photoshop and an editing program called Showbiz. We do this at the end of each semester and the students enjoy being creative with their work.
