Tonight we learned more about the Analysis process in the ADDIE model. We worked through ideas about the types of data we might need to collect before we begin the design process. The mind map to the right is the beginning of my ideas about the types of analyses I might need to consider before constructing curriculum. We also worked through a step-by-step lesson for building a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. My instructions can be found below. Finally, tonight we worked on a presentation that presented information that we shared about ourselves on the first night of class. My video for this is below. |

Providing effective leadership is something that I think about often. How to teach without sounding preachy, how to share without being too intrusive, how to help without being condescending. There were a lot of great articles and videos shared for this class, and my favorite was "Motivate the Masses: Experience is Believing" by Michael Fullan. In his opening paragraph, Fullan states, "You can’t make people change, and rewards and punishment either don’t work or are short lived—the only thing that works is people’s intrinsic motivation, and you have to get at this indirectly." (Fullan, 2011).
Fullan goes on to talk about how to help people find their own source of motivation. By modeling effective teaching strategies and technology integration, I can help build interest and energy for other teachers to follow. Next, I need to support, encourage, and celebrate success when teachers begin to find their own successes. Then, when they "actually experience the reality of improvement" (Fullan, 2011) they will be intrinsically motivated to continue the work of implementation. The heart of the article is in Fullan's explanation of a term he calls "Motion Leadership":
Effective leaders put the needs and aspirations of the group above their own. By working together for the common good, trust and accountability to the group are nurtured. I feel that this is the heart of what I want to be as a leader in the schools and communities where I work. I want to help others attain their goals by sharing, encouraging, supporting and possibly inspiring the changes that others see for themselves. Fullan, M. (2011).
