Internship Artifacts

Summary:

My math coach website is a compilation of resources to assist math teachers plan, assess, manage their students using technology and other tools. I focused on the main topics that affect the classroom; curriculum resources, assessment, data analysis, technology, and engagement. Within the website are artifacts focusing on several of the outcomes as listed.

Outcome 1: Employ the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline of instructional technology and create an environment conducive to effective integration of technology into the school curriculum.

Outcome 2: Articulates, applies and adapts theoretical constructs of effective learning, technology integration, and assessment. Show understanding of multiple intelligence, learning theories, and learning styles.

Outcome 4: Models critical and creative thinking skills in all areas of her professional life.

The above outcomes are present in the creation of the website itself with the combination of all areas of focus of a math coach and the supports they need to provide to support teachers and student learning. They are required to analyze data, present the data and assist in creating engaging activities for student learning and retention. This website is a resource for teachers that includes all of this information in one place for teachers to easily access and can grow and adapt with collaboration between teachers, support staff, administration and coaches. 

Reflection:

I see this website as a rough draft that can be modified, adapted and expanded when the school begins and we can plan trainings, lesson plans, engagement techniques and assessments through collaboration. Education is changing rapidly with the use of technology and the Math Coach Website can be constantly updated and revised as better tools and resources are available. This will be my focus as math coach so teachers can become comfortable with technology and able to adjust and embrace the changes in education.
