How do you envision your teaching changing over the next five years?
I am hoping to shape my vision over the next five years by making a segue from coordinating and classroom teaching to educational technology. I am a tech enthusiast and share that passion through the successful integration of technology not only in my classroom, but through how I coordinate the IB Program at my school. I spent 3 years in our district's own grant-funded Sharing Technology with Educators Program (affectionately known as STEP).
STEP Year One: Document Camera, Web Cam, and Digital Camera
STEP Year Two: Google Products (docs, forms, slides)
STEP Year Three: Our STEP Team planned, implemented, and evaluated Teacher use of tech.
After STEP, I applied for another program through district and was part of a cohort called Technology Leadership Academy. Through TLA, I got a chance to work people throughout the district who share my passion for technology in the classroom.
Although I have years of experience with using technology and delivering tech PD, I am not a certified Instructional Technology Specialist.
Currently, I am enrolled in a program through Columbia University's Teaching College. It is a certificate program in Global Competence. I do not see myself going back for another master's degree as I have one in Curriculum and Instruction and also have a Admin One licensure.
I am considering studying and taking the Praxis in this area of certification.
I hope to be doing something in this field and I envision my teaching changing with respect to audience.
