= Activity #3 ICT Growth Plans =

A growth plan is a thoughtful, written statement describing your intended professional growth over a period of time. al. For this activity, you will develop a professional growth plan for a four-week period to help you focus specifically on integrating information and communication technologies (ICT) into your teaching practice.

Remember a goal is merely a dream without an action plan. Alternately, action without a plan can be a nightmare.

Process

 * 1) Survey your current level of ICT Literacy and Pedagogy using the two self-assessment rubrics, to assess where you are now.
 * 2) Record your current level for each skill area on the **ICT Rubric Analysis** sheet. Don't worry. We are all at different stages and there is always something else to learn.
 * 3) Choose a reasonable number of skills from the rubrics that you can build upon during this course. Review the course expectations and assignment choices as well as your analysis sheet.
 * 4) Examine the next level at each of your chosen skills to decide on your action plan.
 * **Goals…**
 * **Steps…**outline the professional activities or strategies you propose to accomplish your goals.
 * **Indicators…**are behaviours, events, or activities that demonstrate that the goal has been or is being accomplished. "Look for improvement - not perfection!"
 * 1) Record your goals and the steps you plan to follow and the indicators of success on the Professional Growth Plan.

Submit:

 * Your completed ICT Rubic Analysis sheet
 * Your Professional Growth Plan (Note: Previous students have found it easier to have a separate sheet for each goal)
