Find out how your school rates on the Isolation/Integration Scale.
Go to the "Technology as a Tool" section on the Principal
Connections CD-ROM. This short diagnostic activity will help you
assess integration practices in your own school or district.
These 10 questions serve as the basis for the numerous strategies
and resources in the remainder of the section two activities.
- Insert and begin Principal Connections.
- From the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, select
the second icon on the left, the student desk. This will take
you to the section titled "Technology as a Tool."
- Select the wooden statuette at the rear of the desk.
Follow-up the results of your scale by choosing the Report folder
on the desk. In this folder are strategies you can implement in
your own school or district to promote integration and reduce
isolation. These strategies are displayed under tabs, with six
tabs relating to integration and four tabs relating to access.
Choose a tab that corresponds to a question you answered negatively,
or explore a tab that interests to you. Read the strategies and
review the resources, then find at least one strategy that you
could implement in your own school or district.
Post a message on the discussion area that supports
your strategy selection decision. Which strategy did you choose
and why did it appeal to you?
Read responses from your classmates and edit your discusssion message to respond with strategies
and activities from your own experience that support their decisions
or meet their needs to increase integration or decrease isolation.
You must respond to at least one posting from a classmate.
Click the "Discussion" button on the top menu bar to view your response and the responses from other participants to this activity.
