My Action Plan

I tried posting my plan, two separate ways, but it took too long for it to download. I will provide a link to it on Google Docs after a brief explanation and steps to accomplish my Action Research project.

Goal: Discover how the integration of 21st century skills impact student achievement and how to motivate teachers to create this environment in their teaching and learning.

Sample Group: 8-10 teachers and students from our technology committee (various grade levels and content areas)

• Survey/Self-assessment (on Atomic Learning) "What are 21st century skills? How confident are you with integrating them?"
• Identify the 21st Century concepts and skills (that is another post)
• Assess BOY Technology proficiencies for teachers and students
• Best practices for professional development (face-to-face trainings, PLC's, video-conferencing)
• Training workshops for Atomic Learning and Easy Tech
• Ongoing technology support in classroom
• Walkthroughs, interviews
• Create class blogs to track progress of project
• Digital pictures; video of each teacher modeling a 21st century technology lesson
• TAKs scores, benchmark scores (compare last year to this year)
• BOY and EOY Technology exams for students and teachers
