**Standard 7** The teacher organizes and plans systematic instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, pupils, the community, and curriculum goals.
 * Teachers are able to plan different kinds of lessons. **


 * Evidence 1: [|Edmodo Site]**

This website is being put together to help my 9-12 grade students in Civil Engineering. Edmoto is a website that can be used as an online classroom or a resource to a classroom. I am currently building the Structural Unit of my Civil Engineering class on Edmoto. I plan to use this website in upcoming years as a hybrid online class. Students will need to meet for class every day, but they will be directed to this website to complete the assignments. There will be daily readings, assignments, Power Points presented to class, and demonstrations on how to complete the work needed for this unit.
 * Rationale 1:**

This unit has been a struggle for many students because of the math that is involved. As a teacher, I would be able to give my students another resource for them to be successful. Students would be able to contact me out of the normal school day on this site and I could try to field questions to make this unit a success. This is something that my students have asked for. They feel they would be more successful with a website they could access at any time, rather than a shared drive at school. My hopes are that students will use this site when they are in study halls and at home. It will be introduced in class and continually updated as the class moves along.


 * KSD**


 * 7.K.1 The teacher understands learning **
 * theory, subject matter, curriculum development, **
 * and student development to plan instruction and **
 * to meet curriculum goals based on content **
 * standards **

The curriculum of this course was created by a program called Project Lead the Way. I am able to adjust and enhance the units to make them more meaningful and easier to comprehend for my students. Because of the input from my current students, I feel adding the addition of the Edmoto site to will make this unit go much more smoothly.


 * 7.S.5 The teacher responds to unanticipated **
 * sources of input, evaluates plans in relation to **
 * short-term and long-range goals, and **
 * systematically adjusts plans to meet student **
 * needs and enhance learning. **

After teaching this course for two years, I have found the structural unit to be one of the most challenging. After giving students options of how to improve the unit, adding resources online to allow students to access outside of school seemed to be the most popular.


 * 7.D.2 The teacher believes that plans must **
 * always be open to adjustment and revision based **
 * on student needs and changing circumstances. **

Students will need to know this content for a final exam at the end of the school year to allow them to gain college credit. Because of this, I am always trying to receive their input to see what has been helpful and what has been a waste of time so that we use class time to give them as much content as possible.
