Carrying Out My GAME Plan

There are several different resources and types of information I will need to carry out my GAME plan.

To address the indicator about customizing and personalizing learning activities, I will need to begin by performing surveys with my students. I will review the results and discuss them anonymously with my colleagues. I would like to get their insights into how to best address different learning styles and techniques they have used, without discussing specific students by name. Once I begin customizing lessons, I will need access to computers and a variety of software programs for student projects.

To address the indicator about addressing diverse needs through learner-centered strategies I will first need to be familiar with what types of learners each of my students are. I will also need to have a variety of topics for students to choose from when they are doing their in-depth studies. I will also need access to a variety of technologies, including computers with internet access and software programs for creating projects and recording equipment and software for creating videos or podcasts.

I am not able to really enact my GAME plan at this time because I do not have a full-time teaching position, I am substituting, which does not give me the opportunity to create my own lessons and plans.

  1. Allison, it sounds like it would be a little difficult to enact a game plan while substitute teaching. I think I would try to look for a long-term sub position, maybe someone on maternity leave and then try to enact the game plan during that time.:)

    Your game plan sounds like it could be really interesting.

  2. Hi Katherine,

    There are very few long-term sub positions available in my area. Many of the districts are going through budget cuts so they are often not replacing teachers on long-term leave, but having other teachers absorb their classes, so it is not likely that I will be able to find one, but thanks for the idea.
