Professional Development

Instructional Design Plan

By: Shea Hurst
Part I: Identification of the Learning Problem

General Audience
The primary audience consists of certified teachers and support staff of all ages, experience

levels, and areas within Clubview Elementary School. The primary audience teaches grades

Kindergarten through Fifth. The ages of these students vary widely from five to eleven

years. Any personnel involved in direct instruction will be among the first to receive the training.

The training may be given to grade levels at different times.

Identification of Learning Problem

The teachers at Clubview Elementary teach at an IB (International Baccalaureate) school that has

excellent state test scores meeting and exceeding the standards in all grade levels. The

International Baccalaureate Programme aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring

young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural

understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and

international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and

rigorous assessment. Teachers need to pre-assess learning before new skills are introduced,

monitor progress throughout the learning, and assess learning after skill is taught. Teachers need

new, fun ways to assess students before, during, and after instruction to monitor progress and

learning.

Goal
The goal is for teachers to meet the requirements of the IB programme in the area of

assessments. These requirements are: the school uses a range of strategies and tools to assess

student learning, the school provides students with feedback to inform and improve their
learning, the school analyses assessment data to inform teaching and learning by ensuring that

students knowledge and understanding are assessed prior to new learning.

Instructional Goals
Users will create an account in Socrative.
Users will maneuver through Socrative to assign quizzes, exit tickets, and assessment

games.
Users will use Socrative to gain knowledge of students learning before, during, and after

instruction.
Users will use student results from Socrative to plan teaching and learning.

Part II: Learner Analysis

Introduction

The learners are teachers at Clubview Elementary School. These learners teach grades

Kindergarten through Fifth. The learners range from age 28 to 60. There are 4 Kindergarten, 4

first grade, 4 second grade, 5 third grade, 4 fourth grade, 4 fifth grade, 1 gifted education teacher

and 2 special education teachers. The learners have varied amounts of experience ranging from 1

year to 30 years. The learners also vary in certification, intellectual ability, technological skills,

and motivation. Paraprofessionals that contribute to instruction will be encouraged to participate

in the online module but will not be required.

Prior Knowledge

Although all teachers work with elementary students and in an IB school, few assess learning in a way to meet the

requirements of IB.

Potential Misconceptions
Student learning only needs to be assessed after the material has been taught.
Student assessments must be a sit down paper/pencil test.

Part III: Task Analysis

I conducted the task analysis using a procedural analysis. I expect that learning will most likely

occur through experience. I started by creating an outline of the steps required to create an

account on Socrative, create a quiz, launch your quiz, create a space race, exit ticket, and quick

question. To ensure I did not miss any steps, I emailed my outline to several teachers at Clubview

Elementary and asked for feedback. Potential problems were discovered as a result of the

collaboration. The feedback helped me discover these problems and clarify the steps in the task

of effectively utilizing the web tool Socrative.

Subject Matter Expert (SME)

I (Shea Hurst) will serve as the subject matter expert (SME) for this instructional plan. My

formal education consists of a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education, a masters

degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and a gifted certification. I am currently

pursuing a certification in library media.

My primary qualification to serve as SME is my position as a second grade teacher at Clubview

Elementary School. I have been a classroom teacher for fifteen years. Throughout my teaching

career, I have become more confident in my ability to meet my students needs through ongoing

assessments throughout the learning process. For the past two years I have become efficient in

using Socrative as a tool to help with this process. Student progress and achievement have

greatly improved and have been higher than in classrooms where teachers do not use methods of

ongoing assessments.

Assessments

Formative Assessments

Participant Self-Assessment
Lino Discussion Forum

During and after staff development, participants will complete the participant self-

assessment rubric to track their progress towards mastery of the staff development goal and

objectives. They will utilize the results to seek additional guided practice and/or instructional

help resources as needed. These self-evaluations will be based on participant ability to complete

each task. Participants will use the following criteria to assess their learning related to each

individual task:
 I am not confident in completing this task independently and need assistance.

I can complete the task independently.

I am knowledgeable enough to complete the task and help others.

In addition, participants will communicate with the instructor and other learners through the Lino

discussion forum. This forum will be used to share questions and knowledge as well as keep the

instructor informed of help needed.

Summative Assessment
After implementation of staff development, participants will complete a survey on the staff

development and implementation. Results will be used for modifications for future delivery of

instruction.

Participants will also be expected to showcase their learning by creating and launching a quiz for

their students to utilize. To track progress, participants will share a quiz with the instructor they

have created. The instructor will also check the linoit discussion weekly, to track individual

progress.

Objective 1
After observing the instructor, participants will create an account on the web tool Socrative.

Initial Presentation

During the face-to-face staff development, participants will watch as the instructor model the

steps required to complete the task of creating an account in the web tool Socrative. The online
staff development module will contain a screencast video and sway so that participants can view

the steps for these tasks. Furthermore, learners will be provided with a Socrative user guide and

list of steps explaining how to create an account on the web tool Socrative.

completing the tasks of creating an account on Socrative. Next, participants will engage in

guided practice. Participants of the online staff development will reference the tutorial screencast

video and sway for support as they complete the tasks independently. As participants are

working to create an account in Socrative, the instructor will offer support. Online students will

refer to the Linoit discussion forum to ask questions as well as to receive feedback and support.
