EDU53753 Week 4 Professional Development Plan
- How might
you structure this component of your plan? Refer to the research provided
(articles listed above) to support your work.
Shi, et al. (2025) researched how professional
development programs helped the teachers fix the technological competence gaps
and the psychological strain for technology integration that the covid pandemic
created. The TPACK framework guided teachers integrating technology or designing
professional development plans. Teacher’s digital self-efficacy helps with
pedagogy competence and work engagement. When teachers are confident using technology,
they become more effective. Self-efficacy is protective against teacher’s emotional
exhaustion.
Zimmer and Mathews (2025) explained professional development
opportunities do not produce change when the teacher is dissatisfied, and coughing
is critical element of school-based professional development because coaching
takes into consideration the teacher’s background and experience. Virtual
coaching is facilitated by human coaches to individualize professional development
and lifelong learning. It was self-oriented and self-managed learning with
iterative reflective practices.
Siyam et al. (2025) studied self-rate technology
skills surveys for teachers after four professional development sessions. It
was improvement in teachers’ self-reported Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) competencies aligned to the TPACK framework and the UAE school inspection
framework.
- What
connections will you make between teacher learning and connected student
learning? What must teachers be able to do to support their
students? How does this work align with your vision and goals from
week 3?
Shi et al., 2023 explained that digital competence and
teacher well-being are linked, therefore professional development programs
should integrate digital pedagogy training with attention to teacher’s confidence
and psychological resilience.
Zimmer and Matthews (2025) studied the efficacy of virtual
coaching professional development models that increased the teacher’s digital
learning identity without making the teacher feel inhibited or overwhelmed. The
connection that I found between teacher and student learners is that there is
not one specific way to teach everyone, there are gaps in capabilities and
interests. When there is student-guided learning there are more opportunities
to succeed.
In the rural areas, lacking access to psychiatric care
was not related to lack of internet or devices, but the lack of connection. There
is technology in place, and we must start by using what we have available. At
this point there is no way the patient will learn how to answer depression questionaries;
therefore, this provider will have to learn how to enter the information for
the patient. It is becoming a project of teaching the provider how to manage
the electronic health record. The coaches are the clinical director and the IT
department of the organization.
- What
structures are in place within your district, school, or organization
already exist to support professional learning?
AVEM health parters have a dedicated IT department
that has made weekly appointments with this provider. The weekly appointments
have an objective. First week was about scheduling and marketing. Second week
was about premade notes for easy completion of consultation and follow-up visits’
documentation. Third week will be about media management and medication
prescription. Fourth week will be about final touch ups. The fifth week will be
the live event with the first patients.
- How will
student/community learning and assessment be transformed by the TIP you
are developing? What changes should be tackled to address
International technology-mediated assessment expectations like the PISA?
I am not sure if PISA expectation will apply here. There
are expectations of revenue with the implementation of this practice. The long-term
goal is to prevent suicide and provide psychiatric services to a rural area in
Oklahoma. I am guessing self-reported surveys will help this provider evaluate self-rate
technological skills.
