1.- Ensuring the Continuity of Professional Development

Expanded Description: Professional development should be continuous and meaningful for teachers to help them learn, practice, and update their teaching strategies. Therefore, teachers need ongoing training when implementing the rotation model and using electronic platforms for phonics learning. They should be able to learn, implement, assess the results, and adjust their approach if necessary. 

​

Collaborative implementation of the Innovation Plan Proposal: Teachers will participate in professional development sessions before, during, and after the rotation model's implementation. These sessions will include workshops on using interactive digital platforms like Starfall and ABCmouse, as well as follow-up meetings to review findings and adjust classroom strategies as needed. 

​

Reflection cycles: Teachers should reflect on their practice and experiences and adjust their approach based on students' progress. This sustained development is crucial for co-teachers and teachers in the design. Teachers must be able to adapt to new technologies or approaches over time to ensure that implementation and learning outcomes improve over time. Successful educational change takes time. 

 

2.- Ongoing support during implementation

 

Extended Description: It can be challenging for teachers to use different methods in the classroom, especially when incorporating new technologies. Therefore, teachers need ongoing support to overcome obstacles they may face during implementation. This support should effectively cover technical and pedagogical aspects and the rotation model.

 

Implementation in the Proposal:

 

1. Mentoring: Specialized mentors in blended learning and educational technology will help teachers learn, practice, and update their teaching strategies. Therefore, teachers need ongoing training when implementing the rotation model and using electronic platforms for phonics learning. They should be able to learn, implement, assess the results, and adjust their approach if necessary.

2. Ongoing support during implementation 

​

Extended Description: It can be challenging for teachers to use different methods in the classroom, especially when incorporating new technologies. Therefore, teachers need ongoing support to overcome obstacles they may face during implementation. This support should cover technical, emotional, and pedagogical aspects, and mentoring should be provided to help teachers integrate digital tools and the rotation model effectively. 

 

Implementation in the Proposal:

 

1. Mentoring: Specialized mentors in blended learning and educational technology will be available to assist teachers in solving technical and pedagogical issues that may arise during the rotation model's implementation. 

2. Communities of Practice: Collaborative groups will be established to allow teachers using the same methodology to meet, share experiences, discuss problems, and present solutions.

3. Ongoing Technical Support: Technical support will be provided for issues related to downloading materials on the digital platform, ensuring the device is available for students, and connecting to the Internet.

​

This is important because it allows teachers to respond promptly, make necessary adjustments, and maintain a positive attitude. Continuous feedback and shared experiences will ensure a smooth and efficient implementation.

 

3. Active participation of teachers in training Extender Description:

​

Extended description: training must be active and not passive so teachers can take ownership of new strategies. Teachers must be involved in their learning process, participating in experiences during which they can experiment with the technological and methodological tools they will use in their classroom.

 

Amplication in the proposal: Teachers will participate in interactive workshops to guide them in creating interactive phonics activities for the rotation sessions.

​

They will carry out the same activities as their students to become familiar with the platform. 

​

Class situations: Teachers will conduct classroom simulations to practice guiding students through the learning stations and using digital applications to monitor each child's progress.

 

Discussion: To conclude each session, teachers will discuss how best to implement what they have learned in the classroom and how to adapt the activities according to the student's needs. 

 

Significance: This training approach increases teachers' understanding and applies what they have learned in a controlled context.

 

4. Effective modeling of new practice 

​

Extended Description: The modeling technique is an effective way to help teachers learn new practices. When teachers observe an activity or strategy in real-time, they can better understand how to implement it in their classroom. Concrete and practical examples provided through modeling help teachers grasp various activities more effectively.

 

Application in the Proposal:  Teachers will participate in sessions where classes have been modeled using the rotation model and interactive phonics application. Practical examples will include a live demonstration of how to divide students into stations and how to guide their learning process in these stations. Additionally, modeling videos will be provided so teachers can observe their colleagues implementing the strategy in actual or simulated scenarios. 

 

Importance: The modeling strategies are valuable because they facilitate understanding transfer by offering concrete examples. Observing real-time solving builds self-confidence in teachers' competence.

 

5. Specific and contextualized for teachers

​

Extended Description: The training content should be highly relevant to teachers' specific discipline or grade-level needs. For instance, preschool teachers' training will concentrate on early phonics and appropriate teaching strategies for young children using digital tools.

 

Application in the Proposal: The training will emphasize digital tools tailored for preschool teachers. Strategies, examples, and activities will be adjusted to meet the language development requirements of children at that age.

 

We will prepare classroom-based activities and lessons focused on early phonics skills using ABCmause and Google Classroom.

 

Importance: The relevance of the content ensures that the training is more engaging and relatable for teachers. This, in turn, makes the exercise more effective, as teachers can directly relate it to their daily work.

 

Implementing Rotation and Blended Learning Model

 

Students will spend 10-15 minutes at each station, using adaptive tools based on their understanding and attention. Each should have the following features:

​

1. Maintain student interest through simple and playful activities suitable for their age.

2. Provide instant feedback through digital applications such as ABCmause and Google Classroom. These applications can track each child's progress and monitor their activities. They will not only offer students various ways to engage with phonics content but also enable teachers to continue and adjust materials based on the specific needs of each student in the lessons.

 

Expected Benefits

​

The integration of these is expected to bring several benefist, including:

1. Improvided phonetic language acquisition through diversified exposure to interactive and personalized activities.

2. Development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills in children, strengthening their cognitive and socio-emotional abilities.

3. Intrinsic motivation and positive attitude towards learning, using technology to provide students meaningful experiences through interaction and decision-making.

4. Contribution to laying the foundation for each child's future academic success by creating a supportive and valuable learning environment.

 

Infrastructure and support

Please ensure that all students can benefit from this place, especially those from families without adequate digital divide. The following infrastructure and support:

​

• Additional printed materials should be provided for students who need access to digital platforms at home.

• Devices should be loaned to families who need them.

• Technical training sessions should be conducted for parents to help them assist their children with technology.
