Strategy-a-day+Calendar

Strategy-A-Day Calendar as a Visual Agent for Change ([|Loudoun County Public Schools])

Calendar created in Powerpoint

Example: Feb 12: Read and Write Gold: Tap into tools to support readers, etc. April 30: How do I make a podcast?

Calendar follows the school year

VoTech program cuts and binds the calendars

How do you know it's working?
 * We don't!
 * Take a survey...
 * Used Schoolwires
 * Respondents were only required to say # of years teaching, subject and grade level
 * Responses sorted into:
 * awareness
 * investigation
 * reflection
 * evaluation
 * implementation
 * synthesis
 * Also organized to see competency and willingness to teach skills to other people
 * Many times 100% competency, but uncomfortable teaching other teachers
 * 24% declared they weren't aware of the desktop calendar (64% said yes)

Post the image as the teacher desktop for each day
 * emailed everyone first about the desktop change and told them that they would be surveyed at the end of the semester
 * use HTML desktops which makes them "live"
 * enable them to view past calendar pages
