Phase+1


 * Lesson Title:** Career Planning
 * Grade:** 9-12
 * Content Area:** Art, Business, and Special Education
 * Lesson Length (Total Time):** 1 week

Each member of the team will have to evaluate their own knowledge by asking themselves the following:
 * Phase 1: Reflect on Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge**

What is my knowledge of technology? (TK)
 * Andrea-I have a high level of technology knowledge. My variety of different technologies is changing on a rapid basis.
 * Amanda- I am open to learning new technology and excited to incorporate it into my teaching.
 * Lindsay- My knowledge of technology is mediocre at best. I incorporate the use of the internet within my vocational course as often as I can, given our access to computers.
 * Tara- I'm learning and have accepted the fact that this will be an on-going process, as technology is ever-changing.

What is my knowledge of pedagogy? (PK)
 * Andrea-My pedagogy is somewhat strong as I am constantly finding new ways for students to learn and be assessed.
 * Amanda- I feel that I am strong in the process of how I teach, but realize that there are multiple approaches to almost everything, so I open to new ideas and suggestions.
 * Lindsay- Pedagogy is my strength. As a special education instructor it is important to constantly be changing the delivery of material in order to meet the needs of diverse types of learners.
 * Tara- I feel that I am strong in the process of teaching students new information. I am somewhat confident that there are forms of technology that I know enough about to teach, however there is plenty of room for learning before gaining full confidence.

What is my knowledge of the content? (CK)
 * Andrea-I have a strong background in my content areas. With being a teacher in the fast changing technology area, my content knowledge will never be maxed out. I am and will continually be adding new knowledge.
 * Amanda- I am confident in the content I teach, but feel like a first year teacher almost every year because I rarely teach the same thing two years in a row. I also think I a benefit to me in this area is doing inclusion with other teachers because I get to see how they approach content.
 * Lindsay- I would say that my knowledge of content is a strength in the area of vocational teaching. Considering I may jump around to different content areas each year, I would say that I do not have a hugely in depth knowledge of all the content I am required to teach.
 * Tara- I am very familiar with the content. I am a practicing artist, stay up-to-date with current art trends, and have a good knowledge of art history and technique.

Where do I see myself in the TPACK model?
 * Andrea-I feel that I am fully engrossed in the TPACK model with room for growth and improvement.
 * Amanda- I feel that I am strong in the PK and CK parts of the TPACK model, but still have some work to do in order to bring my technology part of the model up to the other two areas.
 * Lindsay- Presently I feel that both my knowledge of content and pedagogy weigh more heavily in my classroom, and technology has been used in a more supplemental fashion, but I look forward to improving my ability to use all methods in tandem.
 * Tara- I believe that I am within the gray area of CK and PK, and beginning to move closer to the middle as I increase my knowledge of technology.

Then as a team determine where the team fits in the TPACK model… Our team definitely varies from one extreme to the other within model. If we had to choose, we would put ourselves in PCK while bordering on the full TPACK model.We are all well aware of how to instruct effectively within our own content areas.
