=Step 1: For standard five, select the indicator that is your strongest suit for the standard and give two examples (artifacts) of why you selected it as your strongest suit.= Indicator selected: b. Exhibit leadership by demonstrating a vision of technology infusion, participating in shared decision making and community building, and developing the leadership and technology skills of others. Artifact 1: This artifact is an explanation of my school goal for the current school year. I meet with my principal monthly to discuss progress with the goal. My goal is to demonstrate technology infusion in my classroom.

Artifact 2: The artifacts are two pages from prayer services that I did. One was a book from an internet source that I used to share with students, teachers and parents in my unit. The other is a Powerpoint which included pictures of a new school being built in Sierra Leone, Africa.

=Step 2: For standard five, select the indicator that is your "least strongest" suit for the standard and write a professional goal of how you are going to increase your competency with the goal this year.= Indicator selected: a. participate in local and global learning communities to explore creative applications of technology to improve student learning. Goal: I will have to find someone who can steer me in this area, especially for a global learning community. This would be a good start.
