CSU-Pueblo Teacher Education Program Technology Overview

Technology Impacts  Preparing Pre-service Teachers to Meet Technology Standards  Technology Resources  Web Resources  E-Portfolios for Students  Online Courses & Modules for Teachers

Preparing Pre-service Teachers to Meet Technology Standards To Meet Technology Standards – Courses have been redesigned so CSU-Pueblo students can meet ISTE NETS (Federal Technology Standards) and Colorado Standards for Teachers.

Validity & Reliability  The process we went through: Validity Phase I  Step One: Identify Validation Working Group  Step Two: Curriculum Audit And Mapping  Initial Curriculum Map

Step One: Identify Validation Working Group  Develop Validation Process Based Upon Stakeholder Input & Best Practices  Develop Tools To Document Progress & Findings

Step Two: Curriculum Audit And Mapping  For All Courses: Gather Copies of Syllabi, Assignments, & Assessment Tools  Link Benchmarks With Assignments & Tools  Identify Gaps & Redundancies  Document Audit Results Using A Curriculum Map

Curriculum Map  Map for each standard  Matched to each course  Utilizing the new rubrics created during our Reliability and Validity study

Validity Phase II  Align Program Standards With External Standards  National (ISTE/NETS) & CO Standards  Validity Phase II: Revise Rubrics

Validity Phase III  Develop Packets Of Student Work  Criteria For Selection Of Evidence  Convene Diverse Group Of Faculty, K-12 Teachers, And Staff  One-Day Session  Nine members:  Technology Instructor & University Faculty  First Year & Master Teachers  Experienced K-12 Teachers (Elementary, Secondary)  PT3/Title II Staff

Phase III Materials  Program Inventory/Rubric For Each Standard  Packet of Student Work  Eight Packets Developed  Training Purposes (1)  Reliability Assessment (7)  Variety Of Materials & Documents Included  Different Proficiency Levels (Basic, Developing, Proficient, Advanced)  Some Dimensions For Each Rubric Omitted  “Dimension” = Row In Rubric  Collectively, Rows Comprise A Standard  Strengths & Weaknesses

Reliability Assessment  Training Session  Each Rater Independently Evaluated Same Packet Using Revised Rubrics  Discussed Agreement, Disagreement  Disagreements - Further Revisions Of Rubric  Errors In Observing Clarified  Actual Session  Evaluated Other Packets Of Student Work  Four Packets  Two Raters Independently Evaluating The Same Packet

Reliability Estimation Approaches  Informal - Percent Agreement  Each Dimension & Standard  Not A Traditional Reliability Estimate (e.g., Alpha)  Formal - Generalizability Theory (G-Theory)  Extends Traditional Test Theory Approach  Estimates Multiple Sources of Error (Instead of Lumping All Sources of Error Together)  Use To Determine # of Rating Occasions, Raters Needed To Achieve Desired Reliability  Results In Reliability Estimate Similar to Traditional Reliability Estimates

Assessment of Standards  New Inventory Rubrics -- See green binder near the E-portfolios…. For  Rubrics  Sample scoring tools  Sample Student Work

Technology Resources  Technology Resources in Curriculum Lab Room 317D pueblo.edu/sctea/curric_lab/

Lesson Plan Template  Provides students a basic template for creating lesson plans.  Provides students with directions, links, and examples for lesson plans.  Provides a step-by-step process for completing the template.  Student can save a finished lesson plan.  View the Lesson Plan Template View the Lesson Plan Template

Simulations of Actual Teaching Scenarios for Student Teachers  Scenarios have been put online in the Virtual School District. These simulations based on Case Studies give pre-service teachers chances to discuss and explore possible real situations and their solutions which they may encounter in the classroom.

E-Portfolios for Students Students design and collect materials during their program and create an online portfolio of their work. These portfolios will be shared with prospective employers and present a representative view of the candidate’s technology skills, as well as their teaching experiences.

Online Courses & Modules For Teachers  Foundations of Education (ED202) has been put online for distance students, TiR’s, and those who can’t come to campus for courses.  The Educational Technology and Media (ED280) was put online last summer, and Frameworks of Education.  Frameworks of Teaching (ED301) will be online in the summer  Courses taken by 50 students last year.  3 more courses in planning for later this year.

Online Learning (Barb)  Full online courses  Foundations of Education  ED280 Educational Media and Technology  Frameworks  ELL courses  ED412 - Diverse Learners  RDG 435 – Literacy  Website – pueblo.edu/tirphttp://partners.colostate- pueblo.edu/tirp  Hybrid versions of all courses – 30 + courses in Blackboard
