General Audience
The audience consists of certified K-5th grade first year teachers of different ages and subject
areas within the school system. The audience will provide supportive educational assistance to
students in grades K-5. Any first year personnel with a class roster will be among the first to
receive the training.
Problem Identification
The Peach County School System has been using the web portal Infinite Campus for the past few
years. Infinite Campus is continuously adding new features. Teachers have been learning how to
use Infinite Campus properly.
Teachers must first learn how to use Infinite campus. There has to be a clear understanding of
how to use basic tools in Infinite Campus. The users must know how to login, take attendance,
complete and submit behavior referrals, complete contact logs and locate their students prior to
inputting or viewing any information. The user must also know how to use the information in
Infinite Campus to monitor a progression or regression in student achievement.
Our school system has a place to store and view information. Teachers must learn to navigate our
systems web portal Infinite Campus. There are many components to Infinite Campus, however
teachers will begin training by navigating the student search engine, attendance, contact logs, and
behavior referrals parts of Infinite Campus.
Instructional Goals
Users will be able to login to Infinite Campus and navigate their classrooms settings.
Users will be able to navigate Infinite Campuses page menu on the left sidebar to locate
students.
Users will be able to take attendance.
Users will be able to view student information.
Users will be able to locate the behavior referral tab, and complete the referral process.
Users will be able to create a student contact log.
Users will be able to use tools in Infinite Campus for progress monitoring
Users will be able to log out.
Users will be able to use Microsoft software
Prior Knowledge
Each teacher has a classroom roster as well as a teacher laptop. Some teachers are self-contained
and others are departmentalized. Teachers are aware of their students as well as their content
area. The background knowledge that teachers have of their students and technology are
instrumental in using Infinite Campus. Teachers must know which students are in a given class at
a particular time period. Teachers must also be aware of students that have attendance and
behavior problems. This information is instrumental for using Infinite Campus as a progress
monitoring tool.
Attitudes Towards Content and Academic Motivation
All teachers recognize how important student information and technology is to improving
instruction. The use of Infinite Campus helps with monitoring student progress. Using Infinite
Campus can be beneficial to locating common factors that may affect student achievement.
Searching and viewing information is now at the learners fingertips. Teachers have more time to
focus on instruction and classroom management. The learner is more motivated to teach without
all of the distractions. Younger teachers tend to be a bit more tech-savvy, therefore utilizing
Infinite Campus seems to be more interesting and easier. Whereas older teachers would rather
use the paper pencil method because it is more familiar and easier for them. Our school system
is going Green, so teachers have to get more comfortable using technology.
Educational Ability
All learners have a least a bachelors degree, some have a masters degree and a few have higher
degrees. Technology courses were either offered in college to some teachers and others were
made to take technology professional development courses. All regular education teachers have a
Promethean board or an ECO system in their classrooms. The learners all have access to
technology on a daily basis. Therefore, teachers are capable of learning the new system Infinite
Campus. Some teachers are going to need more practice than others on the training.
General Learning Preferences
The learners preferred to have a hard copy of the user directions. In the event that they forget
how to use the system, they would have a hard copy to give them step by step directions. They
also wanted to walk through each step with the teacher while using their own computers.
Attitude Toward Teachers and School
The learners were grateful to the instructor for showing them how to use the new system. The
instructor was very approachable and eager to help the learners. The learners felt good about
gaining knowledge of a new skill. Teachers love the idea of less paper work. The learners were
also happy that the school decided to go green and help the environment.
Group Characteristics
The learners were chosen from one of the three elementary schools in Peach County. All of the
learners are highly-qualified teachers of students grades K-5. Learners technology skills range
from novice to highly advance. The learners will be able to help assist one another if needed.
Everyone will be engaged and very eager to learn. All participants will complete the learning
task either by themselves or with the help of a partner.

Assessment 1
Students will complete a multiple choice test on using functions in Infinite Campus. The test will
be completed online and will be timed.
UDL Principles
All students will take the multiple choice test online. Students will not use a Lockdown browser,
therefore students will be able to go back and view the PowerPoint or the instructional video to
help answer questions. Students who downloaded the hardcopy of instructions may use these as
well to complete the test. Some students will be able to answer the questions from memory
which will be most helpful since the test is timed.

Sight Words
Semester 4
This chart was created to show how attendance can affect growth in sight word knowledge. The
Kindergarten goal for sight word recognition by the end of the school year is 100 words.
Students are expected to improve by at least 25 words each nine weeks. To meet their goals
students must know at least 25 sight words by the end of the 1st nine weeks, 50 words by the end
of the 2nd nine weeks, 75 by the end of the 3rd nine weeks, and 100 by the end of the 4th nine
weeks. Students are also not supposed to miss a total of 15 days for an entire school year with
excused and/or unexcused absences. Due to budget issues and weather our students only attended
school for 166 days.
This student was unable to identify any sight words by the end of the 1st nine weeks. The student
was also absent 12% of this nine weeks. By the end of the 2nd nine weeks the student had learned
15 sight words which is an improvement; however, he was supposed to know at least 25 words
and he was absent for .09% of the nine weeks. The student grew by another 18 words by the end
of the 3rd nine weeks, still falling short of his goal. He was absent 11% of this nine weeks. By the
end of the school year the student knew a total of 57 words, falling almost 50% short of his
actual goal. He was absent 13% of the 4th nine weeks, which was his highest average of the entire
year.
This chart
and data shows that there is a connection between attendance and student achievement, or in this
case failure. The student missed a total of 11% of the school year. He seemed to have had his
largest or most consistent gains when he missed the least amount of school. This student began
the school year behind because he was absent so many days and was never truly able to catch up
as he continued to miss school.

Morrison, G. R., Ross, S. M., Kalman, H. K., & Kemp, J. E. (2012). Designing Effective
Instruction.
Initial Presentation: Students will be asked to read the article Using Technology to Increase
Parent Involvement in Schools. Students will post to a discussion board a response to the
question How can technology be used to increase parent involvement?
Olmstead, C. (2011). Using technology to increase parent involvement.
Generative Strategies: The student will choose one tool in infinite campus and create a progress
monitoring tool in which the information in that tool will be helpful ex: At-risk attendance log,
parent contact-behavior comparison log, attendance-grade comparison chart, or any tool that fits
their classroom need. To differentiate students will use either Microsoft Word, Excel, or Power
Point to create their progress monitoring chart. The charts will be uploaded to the discussion
board to share with all other students. Students will be assessed on how well they create their
progress monitoring chart. Students may email the instructor with any questions and feedback
will be provided.

Task VIII:
Plan for Formative Evaluation
At the completion of the course module, learners will be asked to complete an online survey of
the overall effectiveness of the course. Learners will submit their survey responses. I have
chosen a peer reviewer to view my course design. The peer reviewer has at least 5 yrs. teaching
experience, is knowledgeable of Infinite Campus, and has a Masters Degree in Instructional
Design. After reviewing the course design, the peer reviewer will meet with me to discuss what
worked for the course and what changes can be made to improve the course.
Course Evaluation Survey:
Please rate the course on a scale of 1 to 5.
1=Strongly Disagree, 2=Disagree, 3=Neutral, 4=Agree, 5=Strongly Agree

When all of the surveys have been completed, I will go online to view and/or print the results. I
will get a range for each question to determine which areas are in most need of revamping. After
viewing the survey results and discussing the overall course design with my peer reviewer, I will
use the data and input from the peer reviewer to improve the course. I will keep the highly rated
areas the same and change the lower rated areas to improve the course. I will also take the
additional comments into consideration to improve the effectiveness of the course.
