Case Study.

After speaking to the teachers and the assistant principal you realize that the problem may be different from that which the superintendent and the principal surmised. You determine that in order to get to the bottom of the problem, a more specific needs assessment from the teachers must be developed.

You now know that your real task is to determine actual instructional needs of the teachers, as well as to ascertain the specific innovative technology that teachers may need time and help with implementing, so that you can design effective in- classroom support.

In a 7-10 page assignment:

Re-write your goal statement from week two for this innovative technology plan based on the new information you determined after speaking with teachers. What elements/characteristics of the learners do you need to consider when deciding on instructional strategies and best practices for your plan?

Design a survey that you would use to question teachers in order to determine which innovative technologies, instructional strategies, and methods of support they need most, so that the innovative technology plan is more readily, and effectively, used in the classroom. Be sure specific questions are included.
