PART 1: Identification of Learning Problem

General Audience

The audience for this professional development were certified teachers and administrators of all
ages, areas, and levels of experience at Simonton Elementary School. The primary audience
teachers grades 3 through fourth grade. The ages of the students range in age from eight to
twelve years. All individuals involved are grade-level content team leaders as well as part of the
school technology team.

Problem Identification

The Gwinnett County School System as a who is striving to prepare students for the 21st-century
technology-driven world. The way in which we are trying to do this is by getting the students use
to using technology as a tool for showing mastering of AKS. However, over the past few years,
the county has noticed that many teachers are reluctant to use technology in the classroom as
they believe that it does not help students show mastery of the standards.

Instructional Goals
Teachers will be able to identify what mastery of a standard entails
Teachers will be able to identify that mastery of a standard is not determined by the
assignment
Teachers will be able to identify how to use the program anyflip as a way for students
to show mastery of a standard

Part 2: Learners Analysis

Introduction

The learners are teachers, instructional technologist, and administrators at Simonton Elementary
School. The learners range from age 24-58. There are 3 third grade and 2 fourth grade teachers, 1
media specialist, 1 instructional technologist, and 1 principal. There amounts of education
experience range from 5 years to 21 years. The learners level of technology skills, certification,
and confidence all vary as well.

Able to login to nearpod using passwords
Knowledge of county AKS standards
Basic typing skills
Ability to create

Prior Knowledge
All learners work with elementary students and have to ability to create powerpoints, upload
files, and link them to course pages.

Potential Misconceptions:
Technology is a nice tool, however, it can not be used for real instruction
Technology can be used for projects, but not mastery of the content
Writing assessments are the best way to show mastery of a standard

Attitudes Toward Content & Academic Motivation


All teachers involved are part of the technology team at the school. These teachers are
considered the most pro-technology teachers at the school, as they are the teachers most
frequently looking for new tools to use in their classroom. Of the seven learners, all of the
learners spent time in the classroom, and two have experience with instructional technology.

Education Ability Levels


100% of all teachers possess a minimum of a Bachelors degree in an educational field, as well
a certification in Early Childhood (p-5). 14% have doctoral degrees, 14% have degrees in
instructional technology, and 85% have master degrees.

General Learning Preferences

The learners prefer a visual and interactive module. They explained that they were more likely
to use what they learned in the module in the classroom if there were able to see how it would
look like ahead of time.

Attitude Toward Teachers and School


The majority of the group are intrigued by new technology tools. Most teachers do not know the
presenter, and therefore have no opinion on him.

Group Characteristics
The school is located in a suburban area of Gwinnett County. Simonton Elementary is a Title
One school with a significant amount of its students receiving free or reduced lunch. 80% of
students do not have access to technology at home, however, the school has one to one
technology for the students.The group consisted of 100% white female teachers.

Task Analysis
My task analysis was conducted using a conceptual analysis. I believe that the learning in my
module will be learned through experiences the modules. I began by creating an outline of each
module in regards, to how it will be taught, and what learners are supposed to be understanding
as they go through the module.

Task Analysis Outline:


1. What does mastering the standard look like to you?
1.1 Analyze the two assignment options
1.2 Determine which Assignment is a more productive example of mastering the
standard
1.3 Explain your reasoning

2. Exactly what is mastering the standard


2. 1 Analyze the DOK Level Chart
2.2 Analyze Standard 5H1a.
2.3 Compare the DOK Level Chart and the standard to determine what mastery of the
standard mean.
2.4 Explain what mastery of this standard (5H1a) means on the padlet.
2.5 Analyze Standard 5H1b.
2.6 Compare the DOK Level Chart and the standard to determine what mastery of the
standards mean.
2.7 Explain what mastery of the standard (5H1b) means on the padlet.
