Anna V. Blake
Elementary Tech Integrator
IV.A.1. Demonstrates the appropriate use of data in forming decisions, utilizing resources, setting targets and interpreting results aimed at continuous improvement in curriculum, personnel and/or programs
Rating: Exceeds
Artifact: Technology Plan
Justification: Through working developing a Technology Plan, I have rated myself as exceeds because I believe that I have gone above and beyond by demonstrating my ability to look at what a district needs for resources, interpret data, develop budgets and looks to build a curriculum upon those resources. I feel that through this experience while working a collaborative group, I was able to lead and bring my group to a satifying grade on the project.
IV.A.2. Accesses and interprets data from available technologies and resources to address long-term and strategic planning needs of the school in areas of personnel, fiscal operations, facilities, technology and/or other school district initiatives
Rating: Meets
Artifact: Technology Plan Evaluation
Justification: Through evaluating and looking at two separate school districts, I was able to see exactly how the long-range and short-range initiatives were progressing in each school district. I felt that I am rated as meets because I feel that I will obtain more knowledge about these districts once I am employed in the PA public school system.
IV.A.3. Examines data from local, state and national sources to monitor and enhance student achievement
Rating: Exceeds
Artifact: Board Meeting
Justification: Through looking at the Monongalia County board meeting, I found that sources from the government are a key if not vital part of a school district. Through a 2 million dollar cut, I saw how devastating this budget was to the new staffing issues and building maintance as well as technology that was ultimately put on the back burner. I rated myself as exceeds because I feel that I can examine the sources of data and understand their impact on a school district.
IV.A.4. Determines the type of data that is communicated to each group of stakeholders, how data is presented and the implications of information dissemination
Rating: Meets
Artifact: Board Meeting
Justification: Through looking at the board meeting from Monongalia County, I rated myself as meets because I feel that I have determined the data that was useful when talking about technology. I feel that I still have years of experience before I can relay this information as a head of a technology department and as such I feel this experience will give me the exceeds rating in the future.
