ISTE C 4.5.a
Design professional learning based on needs assessments and frameworks for working with adults to support their cultural, social-emotional and learning needs. I chose this artifact because it demonstrates my ability to assess the instructional technology needs of my colleagues so I can create professional learning that enhances student learning. My professional development program's goal is to assist teachers with the implementation of the PBS Learning Media website because of its versatility. When integrated successfully, this free digital resource can be used to engage students of all ages, in all the major subjects.

ISTE C 4.5.b
Build the capacity of educators, leaders and instructional teams to put the ISTE Standards into practice by facilitating active learning and providing meaningful feedback. I chose this artifact because it demonstrates my ability to plan, develop, communicate, implement, and evaluate an instructional technology integration plan at school level. My standard based unit plan’s learning goal is for 3rd grade students to know how to use the color wheel to better understand color. This 5 lesson unit infuses technology in order to engage and enhance the learning. I developed this plan in 2013, so the technology is outdated, over time the digital tools used for this lesson have changed.  Today I integrate interactive paint mixing games and more advanced digital art software. I use this lesson as an example of how to effectively integrate instructional technology into a curriculum.

ISTE C 4.5.c
Evaluate the impact of professional learning and continually make improvements in order to meet the schoolwide vision for using technology for high-impact teaching and learning. I chose this artifact because it demonstrates my ability to create evaluations that will help me determine if a professional development program effectively increases educators skills and/or knowledge. With a reflective evaluation, teachers share their personal experience with the PBS Learning Media website. This provides me with information about how the teachers feel about the resource and if they plan on using it in the future.  A survey on the structure of my professional development tells me what teaching strategies are working and what are not . I use this information to determine the effectiveness and what to change for future programs.
