**Standard 10**


 * Evidence 1**: I wrote a grant that will hopefully allow me to have some iPads for the classroom in which I will use to foster collaboration in writing.


 * Rationale 1**:In order to better prepare students to be independent critical thinkers and educated workers after high school, the overall goal is to incorporate 21st century skills into the classroom by implementing iPads and working collaboratively to enhance writing, reading comprehension and communication. In order to improve student academic achievement by making sure that students possess the essential 21st century skills needed to continue their education or enter into the work force, it is the responsibility of today’s educators to teach these skills. In order to achieve this goal more of the tools must be readily available, and with limited lab space, state budget cuts and less funds allocated to schools, the NEA Student Achievement Grant would help to improve upon the student’s ability to have more ownership of their learning to make sure they have the critical thinking skills to be a successful 21st century worker.

KSD:


 * 10.K.1 The teacher understands schools as organizations within the larger community context and understands the operations of the relevant aspects of the system(s) within which s/he works.\**

The goal is to implement iPads in my English 12 adjunct course partnered with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. I want to motivate and encourage more students to further pursue their education, and for those that enter into a full time job, I want them to have the 21st century skills needed to be a successful full time worker in the rapidly changing world we are living in.


 * 10.S.6 The teacher acts as an advocate for students.**

By receiving the grant to foster collaboration, the goal is to better prepare students for life after high school. By implementing the NWTC Communicating Writing and Communicating Effectively students will receive college credit. The goal is to motivate the English 12 group of students to further their education whether it be at the Technical College, a two year college, or a major University.


 * 10.D.5 The teacher is willing to work with other professionals to improve the overall** **learning environment for students.**

The grant focuses on receiving iPads with the classes partnered with NWTC. Through collaboration with the writing process, and a focus on communication skills, the iPads would be an essential collaborative tool to implement and achieve our goal of producing effective and educated workers and learners.
