Good Teachers = High Academic Achievement

by Karena O’Riordan

Recognizing that a school technology program is only as successful as the teachers who use it, the Milken Exchange on Education Technology has introduced the Professional Competency Continuum (PCC), a road map for educators to use to assess their skills in integrating technology in the classroom..

In order to answer a question many states, districts and schools are struggling to answer — What are the skills for the digital age classroom? — the Milken Exchange gathered a panel of experts to identify areas where teachers’ professional skills should be developed in order to become effective users of technology. The experts’ recommendations grew into the key elements of the PCC.

The goal of the Milken Exchange has always been to promote higher academic achievement in schools. “Using technology for technology’s sake has little academic value,” says Edward Coughlin, author of the PCC. “We think that education systems should first set high academic standards that are appropriate for their students, and then work towards those goals using technology as one tool in the process. There is no question that technology helps move students forward academically, but it must be used wisely.”

The PCC is part of the Milken Exchange’s series, Seven Dimensions for Gauging Progress with Technology in Schools and represents the third of the seven dimensions: professional competency.

“Our seven dimensions are being used all over the country in training programs, school districts and staff development initiatives,” says Cheryl Lemke, executive director of the Milken Exchange. “The PCC helps those efforts by prescribing the specific steps educators can take to effectively integrate technology in their classrooms.”

The PCC includes a set of introductory scenarios describing “how it could be” in technology-rich classrooms. While some of the scenarios depict situations that seem futuristic or expensive, all the technologies described — as well as the contexts in which they are used and the research supporting their credibility — are available. Yet few of them are encountered in our nation’s school districts. “The goal of creating the PCC is to encourage teachers to think beyond the traditional classroom with its antiquated structure and learning style,” says Coughlin. “But many cannot begin to do so without knowing what the possibilities are. We hope this document and its accompanying activities can help to expand their thinking.”

The PCC also describes various “stages” of progress for educators. For example, in acquiring “core technology skills,” an educator might be at stage one: Entry — educators, students and the community are aware of the possibilities technology brings, yet learning, teaching and the system remain relatively unchanged by technology. Hopefully, the skills described by the PCC will lead that educator to Stage Two: Adaptation; and ultimately, Stage Three: Transformation, in which technology becomes a catalyst for significant changes in teaching learning practices.

The PCC is available in several formats. The first is the print publication described here. The second is the Web site, which will be dedicated to updating and evaluating progress with the PCC. And the third is an assessment tool, available both in print and online. The assessment tool is a matrix on which educators can plot their progress in various levels of technology integration and a tool to support the professional development planning process. The assessment tool consists of five parts:

  1. 20-question survey assessing educators’ individual levels of comfort with technology.
  2. A more in depth survey with at least 15 items per area which provides a more specific picture of areas of need.
  3. Database of “advice essays” linked to the survey. Each advice essay corresponds to the levels of comfort described in the survey and recommends ways for educators to improve.
  4. Database of resources — Web sites, articles, books and training — deemed valuable to the levels of comfort described in the survey.
  5. Comprehensive reports. Reports are available both for individual teachers and for groups of teachers. Individual teachers can access comprehensive reports in each of 26 areas of competency. Professional developers working with groups of teachers can create “project groups” for whom they can develop summary reports for the group or for any subgroup within the project. The assessments can be taken multiple times and progress can be charted over time for individuals and groups.

Horror gripped the heart of the World War I soldier as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. Caught in a trench with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head, the soldier asked his lieutenant if he might go out to bring his fallen comrade back. “You can go,” said the Lieutenant, “but I don’t think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away.” The Lieutenant’s words didn’t matter, and the soldier went anyway. Miraculously he managed to reach his friend, hoist him onto his shoulder, and bring him back to their company’s trench. As the two of them tumbled together to the bottom of the trench, the officer checked the wounded soldier, then looked kindly at his friend. I told you it wouldn’t be worth it,” he said. “Your friend is dead, and you are mortally wounded.” “It was worth it, though, sir,” the soldier said. “How do you mean, `worth it?’ ” responded the Lieutenant. “Your friend is dead!” “Yes sir,” the soldier answered. “But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive, and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say, `Jim, I knew you’d come.’ ”

 

  1. What is the meaning of the expression ‘You may throw your own life away’?
  2. What does the phrase ‘mortally wounded’ mean?

[10 x 1 = 10 marks]

 

I have a friend named Ravi who owns a college. He has let me use his college to conduct a programme in order to raise money for visually challenged students. He is so helpful to students because he feels that this is the time student’s dream and work towards their future. By saying so he started narrating an incident from Ravi’s life.

 

It all goes back to Ravi’s college days. He was the son a watchman in a reputed college. Since he went to see his father quite often in the college, so he was much attached to the college. By sheer hard work, he entered high school. When he was in the final year, he was asked to write an assignment about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. “That night he wrote a seven-page assignment describing his goal of owning a college. He wrote about his dream in great detail and handed over to the teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front was a large red F, which meant ‘fail’, with a note that read, “See me after class.” Ravi with his dream went to see the teacher and asked, “Why did I fail?” The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. You have no resources. Owning a college requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land, erect giant buildings and above all, you have to pay a huge amount for the teachers every month. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you would rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”

 

The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.” “Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, “You can keep the ‘F’ and I will keep my dream.” He still has the school paper framed safe on the wall and the mind.

 

  1. Ravi was selfish
  2. The Assignment changed his life
  3. Ravi belonged to a rich family
  4. Teacher discouraged Ravi
  5. Ravi loved his father
  6. Ravi rewrote the assignment
  7. Teacher scolded Ravi
  8. Ravi forgot the past
  9. Grade mattered much to Ravi
  10. The assignment is still with Ravi

The five anecdotes

George Washington shocked his general one morning by merely being a gentleman. It seems Washington and his general were talking   together when a slave   passed.  “The coloured man paused, tipped his hat and said, “Good morning, your majesty”. Immediately Washington removed his hat, bowed and answered, “Good morning to you and I hope you have a pleasant day.” After a moment of shocked silence, the general asked, “Why did you bow to a slave?” Washington smiled and replied, “I would not allow him to be a better gentleman than I.” Oscar Wilde once passed by a flower shop. He asked the flower girl to pack all the flowers for him. She thought that he was a rich costumer on his way to some grand wedding! As he paid the bill the overjoyed flower seller asked him where she should deliver the basket. “Throw them away. Their faded look bleeds my sensitive heart.” So saying he went on his way. A disciple said to Mohammed, “Master, my six brothers are all asleep, and I alone have remained awake to worship Allah.” Mohammed replied, “And you too had better been asleep, if your worship of Allah consists of accusation against your brethren.” A boy was flying a kite with his father and asked him what kept the kite up. Dad replied, “The string.” The boy said, “Dad, it is the string that is holding the kite down.” The father asked his son to watch as he broke the string. Guess what happened to the kite? It came down. A boy was drowning in a river and he shouted for help. A man passing by jumped in the river and saved the boy’s life. As the man was leaving the boy said, Thank-you.” The man asked, “For what?” The boy replied, “For saving my life.” The man looked into the boy’s eyes and said, “Make sure when you grow up that your life was worth saving.”

THE PAINTER MUNCH

The painter caught the dumb mouth,

Fixed wide, in a man out walking

Down a road. One moment past,

Pleasantly, he was musing,

With the sun shining south

Behind him. Air and hill

Were drawn together

In blue and green paste

When the painted mouth is stilled .

Afflicted by knottier

Pigment, the eye, off-guard,

Suffers and goes mad,

In rigor mortis.

Shirley Lim
