Artifact: ITEC 7410 SWOT Analysis
The artifact I am using to model and facilitate the effective use of digital tools and resources to systematically collect and analyze student achievement data, interpret results, communicate findings, and implement appropriate interventions to improve instructional practice and maximize student learning is the SWOT Analysis I performed in ITEC 7410. The purpose of this artifact was to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of technology use based on the right essential conditions. In addition to addressing these essential components, the project provides a detailed summary of each area and recommendations based on the current reality and data provided though the ISTE Diagnostic Tool to assess technology development.
This artifact supports the facilitation of digital tools to collect and analyze student achievement data, interpret results, and implementation of appropriate interventions to improve teacher instructional practice and maximize student learning in many ways. Essential condition number eight, curriculum framework, highlights the awareness teachers and students have in content standards and technology standard alignment. The standard also questions the current reality to the amount of technology-enhanced curriculum resources and tools teachers can use to plan lessons and assessments for their students. This standard also address student technology literacy and development. Analysis of the curriculum framework essential condition identifies strengths in access to numerous technology resources to assess, collect, analyze and interpret data student achievement. Some of these collection tools include, Xtramath, Khan Academy, Illuminate Ed. summative assessments and Google Apps for teacher and peer feedback. This systematic collection of student achievement data in math fluency, math skills development and overall performance in math and literacy based on summative assessments enables teachers to discuss instructional practices and strategies during weekly team meetings. In order to maximize student learning, grade level teams group and target student learning goals through an extended learning time block, where skill based lessons enable students to receive remediation or extension in the area reflected in the systematic data collection process using the tools and resources listed above. According to the ISTE Diagnostic Tool, teachers want more training to support their collaborative meetings and a threat is that these resources become overwhelming. Taking advantage of tools and resources teachers are already familiar with is a great opportunity to continue to develop in the area of curriculum framework to support student achievement and instructional practice that engages and assess students systematically to encourage remediation and extension time.
After completing this artifact, I am well aware of the amount of time and assessment it takes to truly consider the current reality of technology and assessment use to support student achievement and instructional practice. The ISTE Diagnostic Tool is a great way to encourage collaborative discussions on data teams to identify the next steps for technology facilitation and implementation.
The work that went into this artifact influences faculty development and school improvement by assessment data to increase student achievement, data discussions and instructional practices. The essential conditions enable a true needs assessment for the use of technology to provide meaningful practice in every classroom through intentional assessment driven instructional practices that influence student achievement and success.
