 * 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. I would like to change how I do my assessments. By doing more formative assessments I hope to lessen the stress level on students. That way they can feel that it is all right to not be graded in the grade book on every assignment. One way that I can use technology to assist me is by locating activites to assess my math students with that they will like to work on. Set Teaching Goals ** Identify at least two teaching goals (measurable accomplishment that if met would enable your students to learn mathematics more effectively). 1. I would like to see my students do better on our NWEA test in the spring than in the fall. 2. I would like to Describe Teaching Actions ** 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. Assess Teaching Goals ** 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?
