School: Parkview Junior and Senior High Principal: Bill Trow Coaches: Kate Weston and Tim Reiser

Goal: To help teachers increase their proficiency in developing lessons that focus on high order thinking skills by working with staff to increase technology integration.

Plan name: Rigor through Technology


 * Coach:** Tim Reiser
 * Cooperating Teacher**: Racheal Grenawalt
 * Class**: 8th grade Algebra

I chose not to upload an original lesson because the original was a straight forward direct instruction using the chalkboard and text book type math lesson with students completing a problem set out of the book for homework.
 * Original Lesson- Linear Equations**

Because of this, I attempted to mold the scope of the new lesson by using what I would consider "safe" forms of technology such as internet sites, easier smart board applications and online graphing software.

Warm up: Smart Board/Smart Software- comparing miles per gallon to trip distance on a tank of gas Word document: Totally Ten - choice assignment using internet sources and online graphing software.
 * Improved Lesson - Linear Equations**
