1.  Read MTT Test Prep Manual pages 50-60.  Have them available as you go through this presentation.  Have some paper and pen or a mind mapping tool available for brainstorming.

2. MTT Certification Exam

3.  To pass the case study portion of the MTT exam, you must understand what the questions are and what the expectations are for a beginning MTT to be effective.  Why should we let you be a MTT?

4.  Purpose – extent to which response addresses the components of the assignment

5.  All components clearly answered.

6.  Purpose – extent to which response addresses the components of the assignment  All components clearly answered.  Leaving out one component will cause you to lose points – down at least one “grade”

7.  Purpose –how ALL the components of the assignment are addressed  All components clearly answered.  Leaving out one & points are taken off...

8. Warning Danger Will Robinson Danger Don’t go below a “3”

9.  To pass the case study portion of the MTT exam, you must understand what the questions are and what the expectations are for a beginning MTT to be effective.  Why should we let you be a MTT?

10.  So what are the questions?  They are no easy button!!!

11.  Make sure you have read the Haddad case study on pages 59-60 of the MTT Test Preparation Manual before you go through the next section.

12.  Before we begin, make sure you have read the case study requirements.

13. 1) Select 3 technologies available  How can they be integrated? (YOUR suggestion) for the teacher’s lesson... What would you expect to see in support?

14. 1.) Why the three proposed technologies are appropriate and effective Specifically address:  That teacher  THAT lesson  That population  age, abilities, needs, class size  That technology as being superior  Available

15.  To pass the case study portion of the MTT exam, you must understand what the questions are and what the expectations are for a beginning MTT to be effective.  Why should we let you be a MTT?

16. 2 ) How you will support and guide teacher in planning?  Do not develop the lesson.  Teach and mentor the teacher – do not do the lesson for them.  What are some things you would expect to see for this?

17. 2) How you will support and guide teacher in planning?  What are the objectives  Length/time line  Requesting technology  How to group the students  Special populations  How would technology be taught to all?  How would technology be managed?  How to assess/what to assess

18. 3) How you will support and guide teacher in implementing technology?  Do not teach the lesson.  What are some things you would expect to see for this?

19. 3 ) How you will support and guide teacher in implementing the technology?  Check the technology the day before  Stop in Day 1 morning  Show how to troubleshoot  Be available – email or planning.  Prepare for plan “B”  Check at end of day

20. 4 ) How you will support and guide teacher in evaluating technology?  Do not evaluate the teacher or the lesson  What are some things you would expect to see for this?

21. 4) How you will support and guide teacher in evaluating the technology?  Mentor – how did it go?  What would you do differently?  What worked well?  Would you do it again?  Would you recommend it to others?  How did I do?

22. 5) How it can be adapted to one other learning environment?  Pick ONE technology  Give details – how would it enhance?  Provide details

23.  Accuracy and effectiveness in your knowledge  Note relevant competencies within the MTT test framework.  The knowledge would be displayed your tech choices and support  You should follow appropriate role of mentor.

24.  Knowledge displayed by your support of the planning process regarding the use of the technologies  Make sure that you provide enough supporting details in the planning phase  Make sure you support and don’t take over

25.  Sound reasoning and depth of understanding.  Reflected in supporting details  Reflected by the “wisdom” of your choices in the additional technology as it relates to the task at hand  Reflected by your general knowledge about effective technology usage, i.e. integration

26.  Put it all together in a nice package  How well did you put together and assess the task at hand?  How well did you perform the role of mentor?  What assistance did you provide?  Was it within the scope of an MTTs duties?  Did it clearly reflect knowledge of technology AND pedagogy AND mentoring?

27.  Addresses ALL components fully  Accurate and EFFECTIVE application  Strong supporting evidence – specific and relevant examples  Clear, logical reasoning and comprehensive understanding  Synthesis of knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

28.  Addresses most components sufficiently  Generally accurate and effective application – minor problems in accuracy or effectiveness  Sufficient supporting evidence – with mostly specific and relevant examples  Sufficient reasoning and overall understanding  Sufficient synthesis of knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

29.  Addresses some components sufficiently  Partial or ineffective application – significant problems in accuracy or effectiveness  Minimal supporting evidence with few relevant examples – some extraneous information evident  Limited reasoning and understanding  Partial synthesis of knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

30.  Addresses few components or fails to complete  Largely inaccurate or ineffective applications  Little or no supporting evidence with few or no relevant examples or much extraneous information evident  Little or no reasoning and understanding  Little or no ability to synthesize knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

31.  To pass the case study portion of the MTT exam, you must understand what the questions are and what the expectations are for a beginning MTT to be effective.  Why should we let you be a MTT?

32.  The available technology is ALWAYS the same – in EVERY case study  Know how to use all available technologies  Have some classroom management ideas For example: only two digital cameras, so how could you use this technology for an entire class?  Answer all the questions

33.  To pass the case study portion of the MTT exam, you must understand what the questions are and what the expectations are for a beginning MTT to be effective.  Why should we let you be a MTT?

34.  Get rest the night before your test  Make sure you pace yourself in the exam  Take the time to pre-write or plan before you begin to answer  Answer the questions sequentially – add spaces after each question  And show us that you are qualified to be a Master Technology Teacher
