Carrying Out My Personal Game Plan

I have gotten a lot of encouragement in starting my GAME Plan.  Many of my colleagues have agreed that this is a good way to help build up my confidence and gain the feedback I need to improve my instruction.  I am really excited about getting the work done.

Resources Needed

I have looked into the Tech Resources and found the link for Wikispaces.  The service is free and the set-up is very user friendly.   I have a laptop and it meets all of the required specifications. All of my files are organized and backed up in two spaces.  I will need this information and I have it ready to retrieve.

Additional Information

The only missing item is the student work.  I have some good example of student artifacts but some of them will have to be translated.  I will have to get my students to work on some of this as a project.  In addition I would also like some “fresh” work of the students to display in my wiki.  In addition since my Wiki is has representation of student work.  I may invite some of my high performing students to assist me in developing the Wiki.

Steps taken so far

I have already sought the advice of some of my colleagues at the school district as well as the college.  Many of them have agreed to help monitor and provide feedback on my Wiki.  Many have also agreed to go over the feedback with me as this is a project they may want to try out.  I feel as if I am sparking some very need interest in a school district that really needs the focus. Recently our school district was taken over by the state so of course moral is very low.  I would like to champion the project and show the teachers that learning is still the main purpose of the district and that our kids still need us to be the best teachers we can be.
