Description:
I continue to deepen my knowledge of digital age learning experiences by evaluating the students through a variety of assessments. The objective is towards skill mastery and content knowledge that enables the students to development of higher-order thinking and problem solving skills. The utilization of both written, short answer forms of testing, presentation, self evaluation and reflections provide diverse methods of performance assessments.

I extend and enrich curriculum by integrating school and district curriculum priorities with Ohio’s academic content standards and the national content standards through the use of the Webxam. The results tracking, data outputting and real time reporting enables me to tailor my curriculum to meet the student’s needs.

I use the individual assessments to identify student strengths promote student growth and maximize access to learning opportunities. Each report is broken down into content areas. I am able to increase or decrease instruction based on the students individual learning. I analyze data to monitor student progress and learning and to plan differentiate and modify instruction to close the achievement gap. I am able to foster optimum motivation for the students and provide the opportunity to develop mastery of content based on the reports.

I am able to enrich curriculum through shared competencies by integrating marketing education program standards with Ohio’s academic content standards. Attaching each marketing education standard to a core standard through the review of the each academic standard enables me to identify key components of my curriculum based on the syllabus. The syllabus performs a variety of functions which have a positive effect on the students learning and expectations when the instructor has considered carefully what guidance and information should be included. It is posted on line for both parent and student. (Livebinders)

Impact:
I am and the parents are able to monitor student progress (e school) livebinders provides orientation to the entire operation of the program and is a written documentation of the instructors policies relative to the course. I am able to modify instruction based on the amount of time a given topic is taking. I was able to create and simulate the functionality of similiar university products SpringBoard, Blackboard and Angle at a free or reduced cost.

Intent:
I activity participate in the development and implementation of district initiatives focused on improving student performance and closing the achievement gap through development and implementation of the course syllabus. The cost in time and effort of detailing this is more than offset by the assurance of the students, the quality of the student’s efforts and the saving of instructional time which is often consumed by students with multiple questions concerning the details of the course requirements. The live document clearly documents exactly what the instructor requires.
