What do I do ell! What "ould I fo"us on this #ear!

$onl# one item in ea"h se"tion%
&lanning and
're'aration
Consider IB expectations and
managebac and departmental
collaboration on action plans and
scope and sequences
Ive been using Edmodo and other
platforms for communicating with my
students and parents. This year I will
be teaching grade ! " and #$ and I
can say that we have planned most
of this years activities. %f course!
there are still a lot of twea&ing to do!
but its a lot easier when we use an
online platform for support and
collaboration
I have reali'ed that students need
consistency. (hen it comes to
communication between teachers and
students! I need to ma&e sure that they
have access to everything I post for
them. )y online tools have been
extremely helpful but I have to find a
way of concentrating my resources in
)anagebac too.
(lassroom
en)ironment*
Consider collaboration and reflective
practice. Consider academic ris&
ta&ing* questioning and answering
opportunities
Consider transitions
I have tried to create an atmosphere
where students feel comfortable
discovering! as&ing questions and
being co*responsible of their own
learning. (hen I face the challenge
of students that are not engaged in
an activity or tas&! I try to connect the
tas& to the students personal
interest.
I want to try a new classroom
administration software to &eep
students focus on their tas&s and ma&e
them more engaged. Its been a
challenge to &eep them on their tas&s
when they can switch windows to
faceboo& or soundcloud.
Instru"tion* Consider differentiation and use of
the "$ min bloc&
+re you a teacher ! facilitator or both,
(hat would you say is your
teaching style
Consider assessment
)ost of my formative and summative
assessments in my Technology class
are given during class time. -aving
"$ minutes bloc&s has been very
useful since most of my students can
finish their assignments under my
supervision. .ince my role is more
li&e a /acilitator0Coach! students that
usually need more supervision or
individual guidance benefit from
these longer bloc&s
In most of my assignments! students
can choose different ways for reaching
the ob1ective of the tas&. They still
have to write down a lot during most of
the stages of the design cycle and they
dont en1oy it that much. I have to
figure out more ways of assessing their
wor& and at the same time letting them
do it according their own learning style.

&rofessional
res'onsi+ilities*
(hat do you do for students outside
of your classroom, Consider after
school activities! field trips! passing on
the passion of your sub1ect! your
own further studies in the field!
meeting with faculty and meeting in
the department. +re you an individual
or a team player,
+lso consider your own professional
development
2ast year I wor&ed with some of the
students in a 3hotography club and
the few students that came! felt really
excited about trying new things with
their cameras. 4nfortunately! we
werent enough to &eep it open! but I
have still met with these students
informally were we discuss about
equipment! technics and they show
me some of the pictures that they are
still ta&ing. Im very proud of that
since they are not my students but
still they thin& I can help them or they
can share 53hoto stuff6 with me. This
year I will be coaching the long
distance part of trac& and field and
those &ids that 1oint last year seem
excited to continue this year.
I have also started our Tech
committee and we have been very
active involving teachers from
3rimary and .econdary as well as
students! and &ey players from the
different departments in school.
I want to get more involved in
professional development with
teachers and also I want to collaborate
more with my peers. I hope that having
more classes wont interfere with my
ob1ective because Im sure I can help
my peers create a better environment
using technology in the classroom.
,ther! +fternoon running 2ast year I ran the Two %ceans
)arathon and I thought it would be
great to have a 7unning team that
could represent +I.) in such
beautiful and prestigious event. )y
wife and I started inviting people from
all running levels to 1oin us to train
and eventually be able to run an
official race. Im very happy to say
that the group participated in a local
#8& race and many of them were
.ince next year the %ceans marathon
will happen during the easter brea&! I
would li&e to begin a formal training wit
the teachers so we can participate in
the even. I &now its a big challenge!
but Im sure I can motivate them
enough to let them &now they will be
able to do it.
motivated enough to continue
running as a regular activity.
