 * Action Plan**

You should have a summary statement from each of the 5 NETS for teachers’ standards on the Action Plan Page.

Using your action plan you will create a timeline for each of the action statements. List resources or supports you will need as part of your timeline.

See the wiki sample for how this timeline should be organized. http://professionalgrowthplan.wikispaces.com/Action+Plan+Summary

I would like to expand the PE curriculum as a whole. I want to incorporate students using technology in a hands on setting that includes higher order thinking skills in the weight room and gymnasium. ||< * Support from my school district with supplying technology equipment needed. (mobile lab, projector and laptop on a portable cart, wireless access, interactive whiteboard in the gym and weight room). Moving from written assessments to digital assessment tools will improve the quality and efficiency of assessments in the PE curriculum. Having students complete pre and post assessments using digital tools will be a big improvement on how assessments are completed in PE. Having students take pre-assessments using an on-line assessment tool to get a marker for what the students have retained from the previous years. Using on-line assessment tools to test students at the end of units will help save time and provide data instantly. || * Support from PE staff members to make the switch to digital tool assessments. Stay current and up to date with my knowledge of technology and the changes in technology from year to year by participating in workshops, take college level courses, and or subscribe to professional journals or podcast for technology in education. Design lesson plans that include students incorporating technology to collaborate and communicate with other students by using web 2.0 tools. Frequently use my delicious and diigo bookmarks to assist me in finding tools that could be used to improve PE lessons. || * Approval from School District to participate in workshops and college courses to continue growth in technology.
