 * Action Plan **
 * Describe your teaching situation **

What teaching change (instruction, assessment, materials) you like to improve? Explain how your teaching change will improve your students’ ability to learn mathematics. Also, describe possible ways that technology might assist you in making your teaching change. Set Teaching Goals ** Identify at least two teaching goals (measurable accomplishment that if met would enable your students to learn mathematics more effectively). 1. Use Web-based learning sites to enhance student engagement in learning math. 2. Simplify my grading practice to minimize time spent on tedious tasks in order to maximize time planning.
 * Describe your teaching change **
 * I want to take advantage of technology to spend less time grading student work and more time analyzing their data in order to identify holes/misconceptions or mastery(to reduce redundancy/repetition). I want to be more efficient and use the computers in my class.

Describe at least two things you are going to do as a teacher to accomplish your teaching goals. These actions may or may not use technology but if they do not use technology, explain why technology is or is not the best teaching tool for your teaching change. 1. Use an interactive web-based program weekly to apply~extend learning. 2. Gather data(colleagues, book study, experiment with formative assessment, web-based survey) about grading in order to make an informed decision about what is best for my students.
 * Describe Teaching Actions **

Identify how you are going to assess each of your teaching goals (simple method of collecting information to see if your teach goals was met). Timeline ** Outline a general timeline that identifies when you are going to use your actions, collect your assessment data Reflection ** Write a reflection on the results of your action plan. What was difficult? What worked well? How did your students react to the changes you made? What was the impact on student learning?
 * Assess Teaching Goals**
