INTERVENTION PLAN
Student Outcomes: 1. Students will develop and demonstrate more effective research skills. 2. Students will be able to classify, evaluate, and use appropriate information. 3. Students will have the skills to create a project using various search strategies. 4. Students will demonstrate improved study skills as shown in instructional plan areas 1,2,3,4,6,7. 5. Students will know requirements for entering college.
Teacher Outcomes: 1. Learn to use technology to support the teaching of research skills. 2. Learn to use the Teachers Associate and Shepherd to develop and implement lesson plans. 3. Learn if students can become more effective researchers through the learning from and use of various technologies.
Instructional Plan: The curricular and instructional focus of this TIP is using technology to enhance high school students Library Research Skills. The students will learn the elements report development using the library for research including note taking, study skills, test taking, time management, studying for college entrance exams and other library research skills. The students will work in cooperative groups to develop projects in different areas of interest. The students will learn to use the Internet to access resources to help in the development of their projects. Students will learn the elements of multimedia presentations including storyboarding, use of graphics, adding sound clips, and information integration. The final product will be student designed and produced multimedia research projects to help other students enhance their research and college placement skills.
Technology Support:
Technology will be used in a variety of forms by both students and teachers. Some technologies that will be used are: * Computer software * AV equipment * Microfiche * CD-ROM * Internet * Shepherd * Teachers Associate
TIP Assessment: Student Demonstration of Work Portfolios of Student Work Student Journals Student Projects Student Observations Teacher-made tests Teacher Surveys Student Surveys Essay Exams Report Card Grades
Existing Resources: Human Resources: * Volunteers * Colleagues * Peer tutors * Adult tutors Instructional Software and Videos: * Power Point * MS Word * OPAC (Columbia) * Wilsons Readers Guide Abstracts - Video * Wilsons Readers Guide Abstracts - CD ROM * Groliers - CD ROM * World Book - CD ROM * TIME CD ROM * SIRS - CD ROM * CASHE - guidance software program * GIS - guidance software program * School video collection and DoDDS film library Hardware: * 386 computers (3) * 386 computers with OPAC installed (2) * 286 computers for word processing (2) * CD ROM players (4) * CD ROM tower (1) - three players are in the tower * Microgfische reader (1) * Epson printers (3) * Laser Jet printer (1) * VCR (1) pluss multisystem color TV * 5 printers * 1 desk jet color printer Printed supplemental resources: * lessons for the Library Student Staff * Media Center Operations Handbook * Tests and surveys developed by CREEST * Various periodicals: SLJ, Wilson, Booklist, Media & Methods, Writer * Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature * All printed resources in Media Center Textbook resources: * AVID program guide * English text for 10th grade
New Resources: THE MEDIA CENTER NEEDS TO BE LANNED WITH THE SCHOOL AND OTHER SCHOOLS IN THIS MODEL SCHOOL PROJECT. ALL COMPUTER ACCESSORIES NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH THIS MUST BE ANTICIPATED AND PURCHASED. MIKE HOUSER AND TARA BEAU CAN ASSIST WITH BEING A CONTACT TO HELP DETERMINE REAL NEEDS OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. Also needed are: * CD, various CD ROM's and software to support a variety of curriculum, for example: Newsbank, SIRS, Wilson's Abstracts, Grolier's, EBSCO abstracts, see top 100 CD ROMs in PC Magazine (on-line) * 1 color jet printer * Modems - high speed * 20 486 or pentium computers in a lab (not in a class) * VCR disk copying machine * a collection of good to excellent software to support ALL TIPS THERE NEEDS TO BE A CLEARING HOUSE SYSTEM ESTABLISHED IN DODDS TO EVALUATE AVAILABLE SOF AT ALL GRADE LEVELS AND ALSO FOR PROFESSIONAL USE.
Professional Development Resources: 1. Assistance will be needed in using Technology Applications. 2. Identification of curriculum and instructional resources including courseware and software. 3. Training in integration of technology into the curriculum. 4. On-line CAETI support to identify resouces.
On-Going Support: 1. The Instructional aide will be the availability of all the resources needed to complete each lesson in my TIP. 2. The Computer Coordinator will be essential in the implementation of this TIP. This person will be one of many people who I can go to with questions and get assistance from relating to computer hardware and software. 3. CAETT staff are vital people for this program to succeed. I will be keeping in touch via CC-MAIL and hopefully various members of all the component programs will send people to the Model Schools to assist in the implementation of the program and it's success throughout the years. 4. Colleagues will be of great support and are wonderful resources. Especially teachers who are pilots and cooperative teachers in this program. Ms. Peggy lynn, the AVID teacher, and I will also be working together as a team to implement this TIP. 5. I will need Administrative Support in implementation of my TIP. The administration needs to know the who, what, when, where, and why of my TIP. I most certainly will need all the support that the admin- istration is able to give me and other members of this project to acomplish goals.
Estimated time needed to design and implement your TIP: I will need at least until October 1, 1994 to design and begin implemen- tation of my TIP. This process will be ongoing throughout the year.
Resources Needed: I will need the equipment we are using in this 2 week class. I will also need the availability of a computer lab for students to do searches on Internet and eventually to create their own home page. I would hope we would have computers in throughout the schools so that we could better communicate with one another.
