The superintendent of a school district would like to offer a new series of professional development workshops for secondary school teachers. The superintendent is planning to hire a curriculum design company to create these workshops. The superintendent wants the workshops to provide training for teachers in the following areas:  Classroom management  Cultivating positive relationships with parents/guardians  Differentiating instruction for diverse learners  Integrating technology into the classroom

You and your group members, as “employees” of a curriculum design company, will propose your curriculum design ideas to the superintendent and his panel of directors in a PowerPoint presentation.

This project was broken down into 4 major components:  Learning Goals and Objectives  Instructional Strategies  Assessments  Program Evaluation

The learning goals and objectives describe the purpose of learning and what the learner will be able to do at the conclusion of instruction.

 Evaluate classroom management best practices.  Identify the diverse learner and the instructional techniques they require.  Identify factors that promote positive relationships with parents/guardians.  The teacher must learn strategies that they can use to integrate one technology into their classroom.

1. Given a selection of 10 classroom management best practices, the learner will demonstrate how they would implement 2 of these techniques into their classroom. 2. Given a list of possible skill assessment techniques, the learner will assess the skill level of each individual student. 3. The learner will compile a list of instructional activities to address the educational requirements of the diverse learners. 4. Given a list of eight coping skills, the learner will practice using three of the coping skills to manage diverse learners.

5. The learner will construct a list of at least 5 factors that are considered impediments to good teacher-parent/guardian relationships. 6. Given a list of possible technological solutions, the learner will apply at least one of these solutions to an existing classroom problem/gap. 7. The learner will create a job aid of solutions to use to replace technology when it fails to perform in the classroom.

 Purpose : To make a difference in the classroom, and to create increased student performance.  Strategies :  Needs Assessment  Classroom Management  Cultivating Positive Relations with Parents/Guardians  Diverse Learning  Integrating Technology Into the Classroom  Rationale
