Essential Question • As Lead Technology Teachers and Administrators, how can we use elements of 21st century learning to turn up the H.E.A.T. for both staff and students?
Turning Up the H.E.A.T. • H– Higher Order Thinking • E – Engaged Learning • A – Authenticity of Activity • T – Technology Use
Does it matter how much H.E.A.T. is being generated in our classrooms?
Turning up the H.E.A.T. in the classroom can make a huge difference. Even by one degree!
How do we turn up the H.E.A.T.? The LoTi Project • Assess • Plan • Implement • Sustain
The Evolution of LoTi Levels of TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION Levels of TEACHING INNOVATION
NEW! The LoTi Digital-Age Survey • 39 Question Survey • Aligns to the new NETS for Teachers • Incorporates digital-age technologies (e.g., interactive whiteboards and iPods) • Produces a LoTi Digital-Age Professional Development Priorities Profile to assist in decision making about needed professional development interventions
LoTi Framework • Level 0 - Nonuse • Level 1 - Awareness • Level 2 - Exploration • Level 3 - Infusion • Level 4a - Integration: Mechanical • Level 4b - Integration: Routine • Level 5 - Expansion • Level 6 - Refinement
LoTi Target - Level 3 LoTi 3 - Infusion • Focus on both content and the process • Emphasis on higher order thinking skills • Student products emphasize complex thinking strategies
How do we turn up the H.E.A.T.? • LoTi (Levels of Teaching Innovation)Project • Assess • Plan • Implement • Sustain
LoTi Profiler LoTi Level 2
LoTi Profiler LoTi Level 2: Exploration At a Level 2 (Exploration) the instructional focus emphasizes content understanding and supports mastery learning and direct instruction. Teacher questioning and/or student learning focuses on LOWER LEVELS of student cognitive processing (e.g. knowledge and comprehension) using the available digital assets.
CIP and PCU • Current Instructional Practices • Personal Computer Use
CIP – Current Instructional Practices CIP Intensity Level 4Instructional practices align with a subject-matter based approach to teaching and learning, but students are given expanded options with the content, process, and/or products.
PCU – Personal Computer Use PCU Intensity Level 2Little to moderate fluency with using digital tools and resources for student learning; teachers do not feel comfortable using digital tools or resources beyond classroom management.
LoTi Profiler • Analyze trends in the Professional Development needs of staff aligned to 21st Century Skills • Gauge the Levels of Teaching Innovation (LoTi) and Current Instructional Practices (CIP) of your entire school system in real-time • Track LoTi Digital-Age Survey participation • Aggregate group data includes selected demographic information in both graph and table formats • Create customized Digital-Age Profile reports and Technology Use Profile reports for your school building or district • Review LoTi Digital-Age Professional Development Priorities Profile for a school or district
What is our next step???? • LoTi Digital-Age Survey to be released to teachers and administrators by end of school year • Once the LoTi results are generated, school and district administration will receive an Individual School Profiler Report • Based on those survey results, discussion and planning for teaching innovation professional development can begin…
