 * PD Plan **

Continue with work with Alberta Learning in the following (note: this is done on my own time..ohhhhhh what about at work!!! is it on your own time)

Benefit to St. Gabes---Sci 30 course keeps current where the onus of the year/sem. of the course will be placed.
 * TAC -**--Technical Review Committee--- review the Science 30 diploma exam and Field tests prior to their release to printing


 * Work on** looking at incorporating ICT into the Diploma ---to put the Science 30 Diploma on line –possibly Bring back the written component--Own students will gain insight to these and which will be possibly tested.


 * “Farm”** Alberta Learning (All Science Course) material for online testing gizmos and material to create online test items---use many of the and unchosen material to enhance engagement in my own lesson in ALL of my Science courses.

Continue with My University course on Adult Learning Look at ways this may help to bring in the Adult market (modification of courses and marketing)

Continue with major redeveloping the following courses Science 20---simplify the material Biology 20--- increase sophistication of assignments Incorporate new technology to enhance student engagement Use of blogs, wikis. etc. to enhance interaction

General Incorporate more gizmos and interactive material into all courses (see above) Make better use of you tube material in all courses. This includes creating own material.

Bring in elluminate as a stronger review/delivery mechanism— Chemistry and Physics plus components of all courses

Bring in more diploma format MC testing into each lesson to get students to engage in the actual textbook reading –instead of going straight to the hand in –Start in Biology 30 where the greatest problem lies.

Work with other delivery methods Adobe 10 and Softcalk –at least components of it
