Professional+Development

Professional Development Component of Wiki
Professional development is characterized by a thorough reflection of one’s progress and the plans made to increase competency and skill in the areas felt to be lacking. Over the years, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has defined a number of standards for students, teachers, and administrators. The NETS-T, standards for teachers, are comprised of: To read more detail on these standards, go to the ISTE Page.. []
 * 1) Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
 * 2) Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
 * 3) Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
 * 4) Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
 * 5) Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership

Select one of the standards listed above that you believe needs the most attention to develop for the duration of this course. Then, reflect upon your abilities as they are appropriate to this standard, the need to develop in this manner, a goal to reach by the end of the course, a plan to achieve that, and then a plan to go a step further.
