EDTC Professional Responsibilities

Responsibility #2: Design. The candidate will design instruction (or human performance strategies) to meet the needs of learners. Design documents and projects must show evidence of analysis of problem situation, awareness of unique characteristics of intended audience and implications for instruction, selection and implementation instructional strategies consistent with analysis of the learning situation and intended learners, selection and justification of appropriate medias, and evidence of both formative and summative evaluation strategies. 

Performance indicators:

Justification

2.1 Demonstrates ability to perform analysis and documentation of instructional need or opportunity resulting in student-centered, performance based instructional objectives based upon, and appropriate for, a specific audience.

2.3 Demonstrates ability to select and integrate into instruction a variety of research-based instructional strategies.

New teachers to the school need training on how to work Schoolweb. I looked at what training was available to new teachers and saw that the school was not meeting the needs of new hires in this area.

I used multiple strategies in my instructional unit. New hires answered questions, worked on example problems, and created their own Schoolweb page. 

2.5 Demonstrates ability to use formative evaluations for iterative assessments of components of the design process. 

Used a subject matter expert review, a one-on-one user review, and a small group evaluation for the instructional unit.

Responsibility #3: Development, Utilization and Management. The candidate will develop, utilize and manage a variety of media and instructional technologies to deliver instruction to students.

Performance indicators:

Justification

3.1 Demonstrates ability to develop instruction using a minimum of three different medias.

3.2 Applies research-based rationale for the selection and utilization of technologies for learning.

3.3 Demonstrates ability to manage projects and evaluate progress and improvement.

3.4 Uses the results of evaluation methods to revise and update instructional materials. 

My instructional unit used videos, websites and questionnaires (problems) to address the students.

A step by step storyboard was created for the new hires to follow. Videos were also created for teachers to watch and take notes. This was the most logical choice for the training because it walks the new teachers through all the steps.

I received feedback from teachers and a SME on my instructional unit and implemented the changes they suggested. I am always looking to make my instructional unit better.

I updated my instructional unit when I received my feedback from my teachers, SME and from the professor.

Responsibility #4: Evaluation. The candidate uses incisive and relevant assessment and evaluation techniques (e.g., product or project which uses formative and/or summative evaluations). Candidate demonstrates the ability to evaluate quality of instructional materials and instructional systems using appropriate methodologies. Candidate also demonstrates the ability to use formative and summative assessment methodologies to ascertain the effectiveness of instruction in meeting instructional goals.

Performance indicators:

Justification

4.2 Demonstrates ability to use summative strategies to evaluate the quality of instruction. 

4.3 Demonstrates ability to select a variety of appropriate assessment instruments and use those instruments to assess effectiveness of instruction in meeting instructional objectives.

I used online quizzes and practice problems as a summative assessment for this project.

I used a checklist and questions as an assessment tool for those assessing the instructional unit.
