Multimedia Workshop Lesson GAME Plan: Lesson Title: Authentic Assessment in Classroom Management Professional Development (Mentoring) Before Class preparation:


 * Make assignment available for students via a Wiki.
 * Prepare physical copies of assignment in case of technical problems.
 * Prepare PowerPoint presentation of the authentic assessment

I. Ice Breaker: A survey will be filled out by the participants prior to the start of the workshop. A large group discussion will take place to give everyone a chance to get to know each others’ views on the subject. II. Pre-Training: A video will introduce the topic of the workshop. Participants will be introduced to the authentic problem with a graphic organizer. A PowerPoint presentation will be presented to give an overview of the workshop and the key concepts and applications to be used in the workshop. A tutorial for Wiki, Mindmap42.com, and Skype will be provided. Rubrics will be distributed. The Mind42.com, Skype, and the wikis accounts will be set up at this time with the guidance of the instructor. Participants will be given 3 questions to discuss in small groups (teacher and administrator mixture and by buildings/if possible); this discussion will be done on your group's working wiki page. The graphic organizer will be discussed and filled out collaboratively. After the questions have been discussed in the small groups, one representative from each small group will share their answers with the large group via Skype. (or via projector if the workshop takes place in one building at the same time.) Why is classroom management a problem for some teachers?What are some key classroom management issues that you have either experienced or observed? How is your district or building supporting new teachers who risk leaving the teaching profession? Participants will use this time to once again work in small groups. They will create a Wikispace for their Authentic Assessment Assignment. This collaborative wiki will be a mentoring wiki for distressed teachers who are new, (but can be offered to older teachers with classroom management issues). The wiki should include resources that the teachers can refer to, technology examples that will help with classroom management, possible topics or discussion ideas for general advice; an area to post questions where mentors can give advice. Pages should be created by the group to best suit their decided needs, when completed, the wikispace should either be linked to the group's working page, or the instructor should be invited to it. The large group will reconvene and share their Mentoring Wikis and explain them. While each group presents, the other participants will evaluate at least two groups following a Peer Rubric.

 * VI.** __**Whole Group Assessment**:__
 * VII.** __**Evaluation**:__

At the end of the workshop, the participants will be given time to reflect on what was learned. They will fill out a self-evaluation and a group evaluation to do this. MONITOR: · Are my students understanding how to use the technology to incorporate the information and mastering the skills they need? · What patterns are emerging from my students’ responses? · Are my students gaining skills that they will be able to apply? · Are my students learning from one another? Accommodations and Extensions: Back-up Plan: Have physical copies of Graphic organizer, PowerPoint, and lesson plans printed up for each student or group of students to review.
