Evidence 0f Competency
Compass Charter Schools Online Advisory Committee
Artifact Description
I am a committee member of Compass Charter Schools Online Advisory. The purpose of this committee is to provide feedback to school leadership to improve the Online Learning program and support the implementation of program procedures, aligned with our LCAP goals. As a committee member, I address concerns my colleagues have with our online curriculum, student engagement, supportive technology resources, and training. Our committee discussions are recorded on a collaborative doc that is shared with the admin team. We also have an admin representative at these meetings to act as a sounding board and problem solver. This year we have successfully provided training from our curriculum providers for content (accelerate education, renaissance, generation genius, and more). Participating on this committee provides an opportunity to problem solve real-time issues and concerns and implement support and advocate for changes.
Reflection
Serving as a committee member of the online learning advisory has been a rewarding experience that has supported my growth as a change agent. Specifically, it meets indicator 1a by creating a culture of forward-thinking change-makers that serve the greater goal of reflecting, adapting, and evolving to meet the needs of our learning community. It also represents indicator 1b, because I facilitate equitable use of digital learning tools and content that meet the needs of each learner by addressing real-time issues by problem-solving to find equitable learning solutions.
Impact
As a member of the Online Advisory Committee, I address educator concerns, review and support policy implementation, and work to find solutions to problems that occur for our online educator. This positively impacts our online academic learning experiences because I facilitate discussions, address immediate concerns, and develop and brainstorm strategies for improvements. In the 2021-22 school year, we have made it a direct focus of this committee to enhance opportunities for teacher collaborations, offer relevant training that supports engagement strategies in our online learning labs, and address effective strategies that support shared goals for Tier-1 interventions.
Technology Engagement Professional Development
Artifact Description
This artifact is a two-hour professional development series for teachers at Compass Charter Schools that focuses on developing a shared vision for increasing learning engagement through purposeful planning and effective use of engaging technology tools to increase student participation and support learning goals.
Implementation
I am supporting my program’s educator coaching committee to facilitate a professional development series on the topic of engaging learners to support learning outcomes in online live learning labs utilizing best practices and strategies that bring equity to all learners through the use of collaborative, dynamic technology tools.
Reflection
This artifact is representative of indicator 1c because it shows my work towards cultivating a supportive coaching culture that encourages educators and leaders to achieve a shared vision and individual goals by participating and facilitating in professional development that supports our shared vision of increasing learner engagement utilizing best practices for purposefully embedding technology within our online learning environment.
Impact
As this has not yet been implemented and is planned for spring of 2022, I anticipate the impact of this professional development will be creating a shared vision through purposeful planning and preparation for meeting learning objectives with their students through the use of sound technology practices and considerations. This professional development experience aligns with indicator 1c because it cultivates a supportive coaching culture that builds on a shared vision of increasing engagement to meet learning objectives for our diverse student population.
Professional Learning Networks
Artifact Description
This artifact is a collection of educational technology leaders I collaborate and connect with online along with conferences and training sessions I attend to build my network of innovative educators that inspire excellence in education technology.
Reflection
Collaborations, PLCs, and conferences create opportunities for positive interactions and improve the impacts I have on my educational community. They are essential to staying relevant, informed, and ahead of the needs of my learning community. Collaborations and continued education support forward-thinking practices and offer opportunities to engage and learn about new options and opportunities for improving educational outcomes which positively impacts my practice as an educational technology coach.
Impact
As a connected change agent, I collaborate and engage with other education technology professionals at conferences, PLCs, and online with Twitter and Instagram. These collaborations are essential to my professional development and support my growth towards indicator 1d by allowing me to recognize best practices and connect with effective education technology professionals to keep informed on quality, high-impact practices, and tools.
Overall Reflection
As I reflect upon the indicators for becoming a change agent, I believe I am meeting 1a and 1b well by serving as a member of the online advisory committee for my school because I am actively contributing to developing, designing, and implementing a shared vision for our learning program. I am also focused on collaboration, professional learning communities, and creating shared visions and goals for our program which supports my development towards indicator 1c. I also feel my strengths of collaboration and connecting with other education technology professionals online and at conferences are helping me meet indicator 1d. I believe there is an opportunity for growth as I work to improve my skills and build my experience so I will continue to hone and develop my ability to meet the above indicators. An area of growth for me is indicator 1e. I am great at connecting with educators but believe I need to expand my network and connections with industry leaders of instructional support, technical support, and domain experts so I can improve my impact as a change agent supporting organizational learning outcomes.
