Module 3 - Parts 4 and 5 (A Lambert)

Question:
How do Professional Development Schools (PDSs) and/or PLCs create opportunities for teachers to become leaders? What examples of teacher leadership do you see in your PDS, or what do you think might emerge if your school were to become a PDS? What examples of PLCs do you see in your school or organization? Have teacher leaders emerged from these PLCs?

Response:
Professional Development School and Learning Communities create opportunities through opportunities for collaboration. The school where I work is a PDS through Glenville State College. In my position, I don't have the opportunity to see many examples of teacher leadership through the PDS. Recently, our county has hired literacy coaches and specialists. I have seen teacher leadership displayed through these teacher leaders.

Question:
Share at least one strategy you will use/are using to assess the technology needs of your context (how will you document needs, what kind of data will you use, etc.).

Response:
As a future (hopefully) Business Education teacher, I realize that technology is an ever expanding field. In order to best serve my students, I will be required to stay abreast of the latest technologies and teaching methods. To stay abreast will require my continuing professional development along with assessing how technologies are used. I will need to determine what my school requires to implement that latest technologies.
