Mixed teaching/ Effective technology use Teacher Directed Level Ineffective ITS/ Uncooperative Teacher

Role A: Mack Romedia – ITS

During the observation of Ms. Mosity, you note that she is a high school technology teacher that uses the computer lab pretty effectively. Students in her class are engaged at all times. Ms. Mosity uses technology in a hands-on, collaborative and project-based approach. However, she has not been welcoming to you and or open to your suggestions. During the post observation conference, she states that she doesn’t think you can help her and expresses the belief that it is not her job to teach subject area content.

Some additional considerations:
 * Ms. Mosity knows technology but makes no connections to content.
 * Ms. Mosity does not think you can help her improve.
 * Ms. Mosity is eager to end the post-observation meeting because she thinks it is a waste of time.

Compliment Ms. Mosity’s use of technology and her teaching. Convince her that you have expertise to share. Try to persuade her that her class would be more relevant and effective with more connections to the content.
