 * All of my planning incorporates four main factors: collaboration among my team members, PA state standards, the curriculum
 * - My current team is very collaborative. We regularly meet to make sure we are covering the curriculum set forth by** **our district, regularly share any additional resources that we find helpful (youtube clips, resources from Promethean Planet, etc), work together to create activities that cover our specific Social Studies and Science standards, and alternate writing lesson plans from our core curriculums that address reading, writing, and math. We also set aside time to discuss how we are differentiating activities for our students in both large group and small group instruction. While we do "what works" for ourselves and our students, the similarities between interventions, lessons, and enrichment activities are striking.

 * Summary Statement **

My proposed improvement includes utilizing the Pennsylvania Standards Aligned System to locate technology resources and lessons that will help me to expand my content and delivery. Secondly I will begin to include the NET-S in my planning to help me to determine if I am appropriately instructing my students in and on available technologies. Finally, I will subscribe to a professional journal and share those ideas and thoughts with my parents in the hopes that they will incorporate any ideas into the home.

The activities that I have chosen to implement in order to address this standard seem simple in nature but would take a degree of coordination and perserverance. The Standards Aligned System is still up and coming so it may take a while until good information is available for my specific grade level and it will take extra planning time in order to incorporate all of the resources found. Hopefully my grade level team will follow suit and help support my efforts with NET-S incorporation. Also my class website already has a listing of resources so it will not be difficult to create a parent technology corner, my only concern would be whether it is utilized by the families.
