| Welcome
to my e-Portfolio. This electronic portfolio reflects my professional
growth in the areas of education, staff development and technology
while participating in the iMET Master's Degree program. Being a member
of the first cohort to graduate from this innovative program has been
the most exciting educational experience of my adult life. I dedicate
this portfolio to my three professors: Larry Hannah, Bruce McVicker
and Mike Menchaca. They are the soul of the iMET program! |
 |
| The Process
section of the portfolio contains a reflection about the iMET program,
resumes, links to some of the electronic tools we used during the
program and examples of my work. The work includes presentations given
at CUE and California Art Education Association conferences, social
studies curricula and examples of extracurricular units. |
|
| This section
contains four distinct products - all developed and/or refined to
fulfill the education goals and objectives of the iMET program. The
units of study have been developed to present 7th grade curricula
in the areas of social studies and art. As an educator whose classes
include ESL, resource, full-inclusion and mainstream students, I use
a SDAIE/ELD approach to present the curricula. The webquests Technology
Spies and Your Role in Medieval
Society are examples of collaborative, scaffolded SDAIE units.
In appreciation for the diverse cultures present in my classroom,
the art unit, Celebrating the Day of the
Dead, offers a way to honor all cultures and students. The staff
development component, One Size
Does Not Fit All, offers a look at successful staff development
at the school site level. |
