You have been assigned a Plickers card. Each card has a number on it. Actually in each corner, you can see the number. On each side is a letter. We are only going to use A and B.

3. Alief U Technology Credit
Technology Credit levels 1, 2, and 3 are assigned to all district technology sessions. Alief U2 Tech credit is only assigned to technology sessions that take place outside of a teacher’s contract time. Notice in this example that the credits are different numbers – 2.5 and 3.5 respectively. They are discrete credit types.

TTESS
Not part of Alief U
Condition of employment
Teachers who did not attend the summer session of Alief U will have fewer course requirements. For the past two years, we have allowed teachers to register themselves for the technology course to allow them to have choice about the time of year and instructional format (online or face-to-face), but too many teachers did not complete the course. This year, I will schedule them for an online course timeframe – 2 weeks.

13. Professional Development without follow-up is educational malpractice.
Only 5-10% of professional development is implemented without follow-up. Although it happens over time. Having Action Based Learning and Moving Minds in Alief U and STOIC and Interactions and Corrections gives teachers at least some follow-up. In addition, we have 4 Prevention and Safe School Specialists and 2 Action Based Learning facilitators who are helping teachers to implement what they have learned in professional development.
Tell your neighbor one thing you are going to focus on as a campus and how you will provide professional development with follow-up.

14. ALIEF U GRADUATE STUDIES REGULAR EDUCATION TEACHERS
Action Based Learning (7 hours) Alief U2 credit
Interactions and Corrections (7 hours) Alief U2 credit

There are two district initiative courses – Action Based Learning and Interactions and Corrections. Interactions and Corrections is the follow-up to STOIC/CHAMPS. Then they have choices within two categories: technology and meaningful work. Turn to your neighbor. What is important to remember about the technology credit?

16. ALIEF U TRACKING SHEET
You each picked up tracking sheets for your campus. Let’s look at Alief U Graduate Studies. The sheet is pre-populated with the teachers (to the best of my knowledge) that are on your campus. We are going to look at an Eduphoria record for Tracee Grigsby and track her attendance for Alief U. We will first look for Action Based Learning.

17. Let’s Take a Look
Do you see Action Based Learning on this portfolio?

18. ALIEF U TRACKING SHEET
Yes. So I put an X in that column. Now we will look for Interactions and Corrections.

19. Let’s Take a Look
Do you see Interactions and Corrections on this record?

20. ALIEF U TRACKING SHEET
Yes. So I put an X in that column. Now we will look for technology choice. What credit type are we looking for?

21. Let’s Take a Look
Look under credit items. Do you see 7 hours of Alief U2 Tech credit?

22. ALIEF U TRACKING SHEET
No. We see 3.5 hours of Alief U2 Tech credit. I put an X on 3.5 hours and highlighted 3.5 hours. The highlight for me indicates that the coursework is missing. Now we will look for 14 hours of meaningful work choice. What credit type are we looking for?

23. Let’s Take a Look
Do you see 14 hours of Alief U2 MW credit?

24. ALIEF U TRACKING SHEET
Yes. So I put an X on all four columns indicating that she completed 14 hours of meaningful work credit.

Meaningful Work choice (14 hours) Alief U3 MW credit
Year 3 induction. There is one district initiative course – Moving Minds. Then they have choices within three categories – technology, meaningful relationships, and meaningful work.

30. ALIEF U TRACKING SHEET
Let’s look at your Alief U Continuing Education tracking sheet. The sheet is pre-populated with the teachers (to the best of my knowledge) that are on your campus. We are going to look at an Eduphoria record for Patricia Grady and track her attendance for Alief U. We will first look for Moving Minds.

31. Let’s Practice Together
Do you see Moving Minds on her portfolio?

32. ALIEF U TRACKING SHEET
Yes. So I put an X in that column. Now we will look for technology choice. What credit type am I looking for on her record?

33. Let’s Practice Together
Do you see Alief U3 Tech credit on her portfolio?

34. ALIEF U TRACKING SHEET
No. So I highlighted both 3.5 fields because she is missing 7 hours of Alief U3 Tech credit. Now we will look for meaningful relationships choice. What credit type am I looking for?

35. Let’s Practice Together
Do you see any meaningful relationships credit?

36. ALIEF U TRACKING SHEET
No. I do not see any Alief U3 MR credit. However, I do see that she is registered for Secondary Cultural Responsiveness on October 14, Because I know the course, I know that it is assigned Alief U3 MR credit. The bad news with this system, is that you can’t click on a course that a teacher is registered for and find out what credit types will be assigned to the course. You would have to go into Workshop and find the class to see the credits associated with it. When communicating with this teacher I would acknowledge that the course will fulfill the MR credit and impress the importance of attending. There are limited opportunities for meaningful relationships credit in the spring. Now we will look for meaningful work choice. What credit type am I looking for?

37. Let’s Practice Together
Do you see any meaningful work credit?

38. ALIEF U TRACKING SHEET
Yes. So I put an X on all four columns indicating that she completed 14 hours of meaningful work credit.
