Building and implementing a dynamic personalized curriculum

Editor's Notes

• #10: Vendors – challenging vendors ongoing Focused – PD has to be job embedded, ongoing they take that information, they are being trained, Digital citizenship – need to be part of it, educate community as well, they are leaders for kids, more than just logging in, also empowering them to reflect appropriate digital citizenship, partnership with vendors – 1. professional development – show investment past , make a communitive to ongoing, coming back for training 2. make a commitment to their R&D, when they give us a tool, that is a tool that they developed, not necessarily fully baked, should be open to feedback loop for fine tuning and perfecting that tool so we can scale it up. Not just work in one place
• #12: The curriculum – backwards design approach, originally our teachers were not raised to search for, even receive OER resources, but kids were raised to do that and so in order to marry both groups, we intentionally embedded tools/OER in curriculum, it fit the instructional model, intentionally embedded website, links on suggested homework to show the connection of the two, use the device in a productive way, also teachers see how to structure assignment to encourage any time anywhere learning. Then bring in teachers to develop LPs, building the plane while flying – feedback loop of teachers, then develop 9 more, more and more OER where we are at the point we wanted to be to release teachers to be on curriculum team.
• #13: - Vendors ,staff, students, families, through committees, through online surveys as a start at all levels, representatives on committees to communicate in small group; open forum finally also suggestion boxes. All at each level allow opps for feedback and corrective actions. Work with select group of educators to give feedback to vendors.
