Summer Leadership Workshop Region XV July 13, 2010

Agenda

Administrators' Corner - In an informal atmosphere, administrators are asked to comment on any of the following: What observations can be shared about how the grant was implemented into schools? What changes were observed concerning the teaching/learning process? What successes were observed?

From the Field – (what teachers want you to know about technology integration and PBL).

//Teacher Lens// Teachers from various school districts tell their story about the first year of the T3 Grant implementation in their classroom via video and newsletter.

Break The real classroom experience: Hands-on with Pixie – Overview of tools, print and publishing options.

Admin-Hands on practice. (Using Pixie to help make connections. ) Teachers use the tenets of PBL and creativity tools to mold their classrooms into a 21st century learning environment. Instructional Leaders model behaviors that they want to be used in classroom to meet the needs of their diverse learners. How can our administrators use the same tenets and tools that their teachers are using? Brainstorm ideas for using this tool as a means of communication with your staff, parents and community. Examples could be presentations for back to school for parents and students, curriculum issues to address with teachers. You may even decide to take the disaggregated TAKS data and plan for addressing issues such as providing opportunities for students to create and publish content that addrsses specific objectives. Work in small groups to create a project to be delivered to a specific group. All work will be published in the group wiki.
