The fourth week of school is about to end, our state test scores have arrived, and a new focus on technology has begun. The good news is that our scores are up. We met benchmarks thanks to significant instructional changes, and we're adjusting those changes in hopes of making further progress this year.
I've been fortunate enough to spend 1/2 of my day in the classroom this year, and the other 1/2 day working on instructional technology integration. One of my key tasks is to locate technology resources to support our Science and Social Studies curriculum. To address our students' needs, we teach those subjects using English Language Development (ELD) strategies.
1) Will the resources be used?
2) Will they be effective?
3) Will it justify my 1/2 time out of the classroom?
4) Is there a way to really know?
The pressure is on.
