Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online learning, social distancing, staggered schedules, hyper hygienic standards, and blended learning are all new realities presented by the toggled term educators will need to overcome to reopen schools in the fall of 2020 and beyond. To address these new realities, Navigating the Toggled Term introduces educators to the new realities secondary education must face as districts and schools combat the challenges brought upon by the Coronavirus pandemic. The "toggled term" represents this reality for schools and districts as they will likely move back and forth between online instruction and face to face instruction as the threat of Coronavirus remains present. The purpose of this book is to provide recommendations on how to take on this increasingly complex reality. Educators are given a foundation of content and skills in educational technology, instruction, Special Education, and parent and student engagement to navigate both online and blended learning educational settings. Educators are then presented with recommendations on how to initially reopen schools with the introduction of blended learning and an overarching instructional model to ensure students are always learning. Educators are then provided with examples of how to further develop their expertise along with developing their brand as an educator. This entails building professional learning networks and utilizing ongoing professional development to take on the challenges presented by the toggled term. The conclusion provides educators with an organizational framework to approach the realities of the toggled term. Once the framework to navigate the toggled term is outlined, the future of K-12 education over the next 12 to 18 months is discussed. The organization of the book includes four parts with thirteen chapters organized thematically into each of the four parts. Each part of the book focuses on specific areas district leaders, teachers, school administrators, and parents need to know to navigate the realities of the toggled term and create the best learning outcomes for our students of all ages and abilities. Part 1. Solidifying Your Schools Edtech and Online Instructional Infrastructure Part 2. Maximizing Synchronous Instruction, Parent & Student Engagement and Communication, Differentiated Instruction, and Navigating Special Education Part 3. Navigating the Fall 2020 and Beyond, Reopening Schools, Learning Models that can Toggle, and Continued Professional Development Part 4.

Download or read book Understanding the Relationship Between K 12 Teachers Perceptions of Their Levels of Teaching Innovation and Their Experiences with Technology Driven Professional Development written by Vincent Day and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students today are expected to develop real-world thinking and digital literacy skills to succeed in a globally connected and technology-infused world. Accordingly, teachers are tasked with implementing innovative levels of teaching to meet the needs of today's digital learners. As technology becomes increasingly ubiquitous and accessible in K-12 schools, learning will continue to take place in digital spaces. However, current research suggests that teachers lack the technological proficiencies required to develop the engaging and innovative classroom experiences that students crave. Despite significant investments in professional development in K-12 schools, many teachers are failing to effectively transfer learning from these experiences into innovative levels of teaching. A rapid influx of technology into K-12 schools presents significant potential for educators to leverage digital resources to pursue professional development opportunities that are relevant to their practice--in any place, at any time. However, it is unclear how teachers' use of innovative, technology-driven pedagogy in their classrooms relates to their perceptions and experiences with technology-driven professional development. The purpose of this study was to examine K-12 teachers' perceptions and experiences with technology-driven professional development and how they relate to their level of innovative teaching. To shed light on the research problem, this mixed-methods study sought to answer the following research questions: 1. What are K-12 teachers' LoTi based on the Levels of Teaching Innovation Digital Age Survey for Teachers? 2. How do K-12 teachers with varying LoTi describe their experiences with technology-driven professional development? Why do teachers choose to participate in professional development? How do teachers feel about technology-driven professional development? Who participates in technology-driven professional development? How is teachers' participation in technology-driven professional development related to their LoTi? This study utilized both the LoTi Digital Age Survey for Teachers to gather quantitative data on teachers' levels of innovative teaching and a qualitative component consisting of semi-structured interviews. Analysis of the quantitative component resulted in a descriptive analysis in the form of categorical variables pertaining to teachers' levels of teaching innovation to explain outcome variance. The qualitative component sought to develop an understanding of K-12 teachers' perceptions and lived experiences with technology, professional development, and levels of teaching innovation. The themes and subthemes that emerged from this study are grouped into two primary categories: (1) Teaching and Learning with Technology, and (2) Professional Development. Furthermore, answers to the study's research questions are interwoven into a discussion based on reached conclusions. Finally, based on the study's results and conclusions, along with current research in K-12 education, recommendations are made for improving professional development practices toward elevated levels of innovative teaching.
Download or read book Handbook of Research on Transformative and Innovative Pedagogies in Education written by Keengwe, Jared and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-05-13 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various pedagogies, such as the use of digital learning in education, have been used and researched for decades, but many schools have little to show for these initiatives. This contrasts starkly with technology-supported initiatives in other fields such as business and healthcare. Traditional pedagogies and general digital technology applications have yet to impact education in a significant way that transforms learning. A primary reason for this minimal impact on learning is that digital technologies have attempted to make traditional instructional processes more efficient rather than using a more appropriate paradigm for learning. As such, it is important to look at digital technology as a partner and use transformative applications to become partners with students (not teachers) to empower their learning process both in and out of school. The Handbook of Research on Transformative and Innovative Pedagogies in Education is a comprehensive reference that identifies and justifies the paradigm of transformative learning and pedagogies in education. It provides exemplars of existing transformative applications that, if used as partners to empower student learning, have the potential to dramatically engage students in a type of learning that better fits 21st century learners. Covering topics such as gamification, project-based learning, and professional development, this major reference work is an essential resource for pre-service and in-service teachers, educational technologists, instructional designers, educational administration and faculty, researchers, and academicians seeking pedagogical models that inspire students to learn meaningfully.
