Monitoring my game plan progress

Do you need to modify your action plan?

I don’t believe I need to modify my action plan because, I think that I have a broad plan for my action steps and will be able to reach my students if I take the proper steps. I believe that if I have students take responsibility for their own actions and taking appropriate steps to helping them succed they will be self sufficient. This will also help them in become life long learns after my class. I also believe that allowing the students to participate in class blogging sessions they will find their way around the internet and they will use it to become understanding with topic and with the assignments.

Another part of my action plan will be to continue developing my professional community which will in turn help with the learning purposes. I plan to reach out to my collagues in the state and regionally, so I am able to network monthly with them on current issues.

What have you learned so far?

I have learned that there are multiple approaches to meeting my GAME plan and helping students meet there goals. I believe that by being a good student myself and allowing for learning and positive growth I will become a better teacher. I think that by giving them different assessment in various ways that the students will understand the topic and feedback that I provide for them.

What new questions have arisen?

Some questions that I have are how will I make sure I am using the right assessments with my students to fully understand whether or not they fully understand what is being taught in class. And how many different assessments for each unit should I complete? I need to make sure I am in constant contact with my co-workers and also with teachers around the state that teach Health and PE to make sure we are all staying up to date with the latest information that the students need.

    What do you use for your classroom blogging? I just wonder because I am not crazy about the one on school fusion, and thought that maybe you had a site that you use that you like better. On schoolfusion that our district has, I frequently use the discussion board as a way to post blog questions or essays for my students, but would really like a way that is a little better as far as technology to enhance the blogging experience for my students.

  2. Trenton,
    With the number and types of assessment to use I feel that it would depend on what you are teaching. How you are relaying the information may change this slightly also. I could see where this can be tough since you do have a broad GAME plan. Is there a way to narrow it up enough to make your assessment strategies easier? I do not know how long your units are, but for us it can go several weeks. I like to have at least one assessment per week if possible. Now for my school policy and grading, they want at least 2 grades every week and that can be tough if you are completing a long research or hands-on project. For PE, do you give grades for performance and work ethic? Good luck continuing on with your plan.
