Goal: Skilled Teachers [By May of 2020 teachers will all be able to implement instructional technology at (minimum) level two of the rubric provided in Appendix A]

Evaluation Method:  Formal Evaluations  Informal Evaluations  Peer Observations  Personal Reflection Strategies

Success Indicator: 100% of teachers will meet the minimum requirements of eCLASS use according to the “developing” category of the rubric/checklist included in Appendix A Timeline

Teachers will attend a mandatory strategies training

This will occur on the first Tuesday of every month. The strategy showcase will take place during the first 10 minutes of the first Tuesday of the month Teachers will see a Teachers will spend strategy in action (first 40 minutes of each part of the training first Tuesday mentioned above) then collaborating with teachers will collaborate their colleagues and have time to work to build a lesson using the showcased strategy they learned on that day

Teachers will invite other teachers and administrators to showcase the lesson with the strategy that they implemented

On the third Tuesday of every month, during a teachers planning period, they will visit their peers and take note of the successful implementations they see in the classrooms of their peers.

Budget/Funding Source

For each of the strategies implemented in this section, there is no cost associated with the actual learning. However, the school will pay $91 for a sub for me to be able to lead these strategy and development sessions throughout the year. This money will come directly from the “general fund.”

Person(s) Responsible

Both a county representative (Marilyn) and me will be responsible for leading the strategy training sessions Each teacher at MVHS is responsible for implementing the instruction/technology integration strategy for that month. Administrators are responsible for providing informal feedback for all teachers Teachers and administrators are responsible for visiting classrooms to see individual teacher’s implementation of each month’s given strategy

Goal: Instructional Change [By May of 2020, all teachers in the building will be able to effectively integrate the county chosen learning management system (eCLASS) to support their daily instruction] Evaluation Method: The administrator for each department will review each teacher’s eCLASS page to verify that each teacher is meeting (and

Teachers will be provided with an exemplary page to model their course pages after

This will be conducted on the first day of preplanning for the 20192020 school year.

Teachers will participate in a collaborative work session where they will learn the minimum requirements and have the opportunity to set up their course pages

This will occur during a 45-minute breakout session during the week of pre-planning. From that date, teachers will have one week to properly set up their course pages

For this goal, there are no additional costs associated with the training, materials, time, etc. Since the sessions will occur during the regular hours for teachers, there will be no need for any substitutes or stipends.

Each department will have a lead innovator. Teachers can go to this person for assistance with basic course page needs/help/collaboration

Lead innovators will be an ongoing resource throughout the year for teachers.
