Teachers: Evidence and
Rationale Statements
By: Holly Petrich
Certificate in Educational Technology

2. “It is the supreme art of the teacher to
awaken joy in creative expression and
knowledge.”
-Albert Einstein

3. Standard One: Facilitate and Inspire Student
Learning and Creativity
• Teachers use their knowledge of subject
matter, teaching and learning, and
technology to facilitate experiences that
advance student learning, creativity, and
innovation in both face-to-face and virtual
environments.

4. Evidence
• Can You Hear Me Now? Prezi
Presentation
• http://prezi

5. Rationale
• This is a Prezi presentation that I created in my Using Digital Media
in Your Classroom class (EDU 6440) to show students what I
expected from an assignment for them. Students will choose an
invention they feel had the greatest influence on the 21st century and
create a digital presentation of their choice. I chose the cell phone as
my example for the invention that has had the greatest influence
because it is a topic that students can relate to. Being a social studies
teacher, this assignment has great value to students because they can
choose a topic that is important to them and present it in a way that
best reflects their learning style, maximizing my ability to assess
them in the best way possible.

6. Standard Two: Design and Develop Digital-Age
Learning Experiences and Assessments
• Teachers design, develop, and evaluate
authentic learning experiences and
assessment incorporating contemporary
tools and resources to maximize content
learning in context and to develop the
knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified
in the NETS•S.

7. Evidence
• Diversity Pedagogy Dimensions Prezi
Presentation
• http://prezi

8. Rationale
• This is a project I created in my Culturally
Responsive Teaching class (EDU 6777) detailing
the eight diversity pedagogy dimensions,
including a pedagogical example of each. This
project helped me understand each of the eight
pedagogy dimensions by having me provide a
definition of each dimension and an example of
each dimension. I included a quote and an image
about each dimension to provide understanding
from multiple intelligences.

9. Standard Three: Model Digital-Age Work and
Learning
• Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and
work processes representative of an
innovative professional in a global and
digital society.

10. Evidence
• Mrs. Petrich’s Class Blog
• http://mrspetrich.blogspot.com/

11. Rationale
• This is a class blog I created in my Using
Digital Media in Your Classroom class
(EDU 6440) that meets standard three
because I am collaborating with students,
peers, parents, and community members
using digital tools and resources to support
student success and innovation.

12. Standard Four: Promote and Model Digital
Citizenship and Responsibility
• Teachers understand local and global
societal issues and responsibilities in an
evolving digital culture and exhibit legal
and ethical behavior in their professional
practices.

13. Evidence
• Technology Integration Initiative:
Preparing Teachers for Teaching about
Internet Safety on Slideshare
http://www.slideshare.net/hpetrich
/technology-integration-initiative?from=share_

14. Rationale
• This is a Slideshare presentation I created
in my 21st Century Technologies in
Teaching class (EDU 6520). It includes my
vision, goals, and rationale for the plan. It
also includes information on Internet
safety, netiquette, cyberbullying, and how
to care for computers. This presentation
was created to help teachers and students
use the Internet responsibly.

15. Standard Five: Engage in Professional Growth and
Leadership
• Teachers continuously improve their
professional practice, model lifelong
learning, and exhibit leadership in their
school and professional community by
promoting and demonstrating the effective
use of digital tools and resources.

Holly Petrich
Educational Technology Plan
EDU 6450 Leadership and Future Trends in Educational Technology
April 22, 2012
Professor James Amaral

17. Rationale
• This is an educational technology plan I created in my Leadership
and Future Trends in Educational Technology class (EDU 6450) for
Queen of Peace School in Cloquet, MN. There is no current plan in
place, so this plan was created from scratch and includes of goals for
the school, strengths and weaknesses of current hardware and
software, a timeline of the plan, a budget for the plan, who the
stakeholders are, a communication plan, a professional development
plan, best practices in student learning and technology, an evaluation
plan, and recommendations. This is evidence of leadership in a
school because I would be taking on a plan that would include
professional development for myself and other teachers and
discusses how to effectively implement digital tools in the classroom.
