Goal Setting Focus Areas Your first steps in creating this plan will be guided by Goal-Setting Focus Areas, provided below.

Focus Area 1: Technology Operations and ConceptsThroughout this program, you have developed your technical skills by using various tools, applications, hardware, and software such as the Internet, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. You have also used a Web editor along with other web-based applications. Reflect on how you have improved in these skills since beginning this degree program. Use the technology self-assessment located in the Books and Resources for this Week to help you determine areas or skills to improve on:
Then, consider how your own personal development of these skills has influenced student learning. Reflect on how your approach to teaching and learning has been enhanced by your increased understanding of technology operations and concepts.
Focus Area 2: Planning and Designing Learning Environments and Experiences
You have come to realize the importance of planning as it relates to technology integration. Think about the planning process you employ to infuse technology into the curriculum, including how you target content and technology standards while striving to meet all learners needs . By now you have collected and used many different technology resources. Consider these resources (hardware, software, curriculum, personnel) and the ways you select the most appropriate resource for a given learning situation.Focus Area 3: Productivity and Professional Development
Technology has profoundly changed teachers opportunities for professional development. Today, personal contact with both colleagues and experts is as close as ones computer, and professional collaboration has been affected in ways never before possible. Access to professional journals and current research is likewise just a click away. As you know, even higher education is available online. Technology has also been enhanced productivity. Whether you use it to maintain quick and easy contact with students and parents, or to help design scoring guides and rubrics, technology can be both a time saver and valuable resource in your practice.
Focus Area 4: Leadership
You have examined the importance of teachers’ roles as leaders and looked at how technology can widen your spheres of influence. All teachers are leaders, but teachers may approach leadership in many ways, from a classroom perspective to school to district or beyond.Goal-Setting Tips: Review these goal-setting tips provided below for setting appropriate goals. You might also want to conduct a web-search for other goal-setting suggestions.
Will accomplishing this goal influence student achievement (if in education) or the goals of the company (if in business)? For example, a goal to obtain state-of-the-art video equipment is greatif you have a plan for using it to benefit learning. Likewise, a goal to develop your own technical skills should be made with consideration of its value to students.
Am I passionate about this goal? Certainly some goals are more exciting than others, but working at something you really care about is far more motivating than reluctantly pursuing something just because you think you should. You only have so much time to spend, so make it count for you as well as your students.
Is achieving this goal reasonably within my control? You may want to supply every student or colleague with a PDA, but unless you have a practical expectation about how to achieve this (such as a grant idea), dont set yourself up for disappointment or misused time. This is not to imply that you should avoid tough goals. Just remember that the more control you have over the process, the more influence you will have over its ultimate success.
Are my goals specific and measurable? Vaguely stated goals with no clear outcomes are hard to assess in terms of achievement. You will want to know when you have accomplished your goal. Make sure you build in a way to do this.

Read The DaVinci Code, by Dan Brown (a very exciting mystery novel). Record his references to Renaissance art and art history and find and discuss sources that support or reject his ideas.

Reasearch the life and work of Leonardo Da Vinci and write about what kind of man he was and how he influenced his contemporaries and those who came after him.
2. Study the life, times and work of Hieronymous Bosch. Describe three of his paintings in detail, including “The Garden of Delights.” Write about his life and his interests and the religious atmosphere of his time and place. Where do you think his images and ideas came from? Other artists, the church and its doctrines of heaven and hell, magic, alchemy, drugs, etc?
3. Research the history of printing from the mid 15th century. What effect did this have on the availability of art for the people of that time? How have other processes and techniques of mass media affect cultures past and present? Discuss at least three examples and describe their effects in detail (including how you have been affected personally).
4. Visions of Hell. Find five examples of paintings that portray what life is like for those sent to “hell.” Compare the visions of the different artists. How are they the same; how are they different? Do the visions vary according to the times they were painted? Where do you think these visions came from? Support your thoughts with historical references. Choose artwork from different periods and you can also choose one modern art form that depicts similar subject matter (for example: a movie).
5. Study the life and work of Elizabeth Louise VigeeLe Brun (1755-1842). Read her memoirs written in 1835-1837. Describe her work and her life as a female artist. What was it like for a woman to be an artist during her times? Are things different for women today? What things are different and what things are similar? The memoirs are available at: http://www.batguano.com/vlblsmemoirs.html

6. Girolamo Savonarola predicted the end of the world in 1500 due to the “degradation” of life in Renaissance Italy. Find five examples of apocalyptic art (art promising the end of the world) from different places and different times (including modern times). Describe the works in detail and describe how the art relates to the moral or amoral conditions and beliefs of the time and place.
7. On page 604 of your text, study carefully Jan Vermeers painting “Woman Holding a Balance.” Go to www.nga.gov/feature/vermeer/index.shtm
(Links to an external site.)
Links to an external site.
and carefully read all the information about Vermeer and this painting. Write about the artist’s life and then describe the painting. Read about the symbols and meaning. Answer the following questions:
Describe what the “experts” think about the meaning and symbols in this painting.
Do you think the woman is pregnant? If so, what do you think the artist is trying to tell us about life, death, birth, religion, etc.
Discuss your interpretation of each symbolic element in the painting and support your interpretation with information from Vermeers life and times.
8. Rent and watch the latest movie version of The Count of Monte Cristo. This movie is based on a novel by Alexander Dumas written in 1845 during the Romantic Movement. Describe the story and tell how the movie illustrates the characteristics of art during the Romantic Era. Find and describe five paintings that also embody the qualities of romantic art and explain why. (The paintings do not all have to have been painted during that time). Be sure to document the paintings names, size, the artists names and where (website or book) the paintings can be seen.

In what ways do they agree, and in what ways do they disagree? You will need to discuss the background, and anything you have learned about the respective writers of these pieces, as part of your analysis.

Your assignment is to discuss, compare, and contrast the three readings we have considered in the last part of our course. These are selections from:
Sir Thomas Smith, De Republica Anglorum (written between 1562 and 1565, first published 1583)
A Homily Against Disobedience and Wilful Rebellion (written 1569-1570, published in the Second Book of Homilies in 1571)
William Harrison, The of England (first published 1577)
Your topic is authority in Elizabethan England. On the basis of these three writings, who has authority, what kind of authority is it, and why do they have it? What are the consequences of obedience and disobedience to authority? What reasons or justifications do the respective authors give for the authority they describe? Remember that you are reading three different writers, writing in different contexts and different parts of Elizabeths reign, so of course the respective readings do not always agree.

“After reading the text regarding Adaptive Leadership, describe this leadership style in your own words and give your interpretation of the Table 9.4.

Please respond to the student post and point out areas in which you agree or disagree. Please ask leading question to further the discussion. Related material will be attached Student Post: Adaptive leadership is centered around the idea of constant adaptation by each member of an particular group or organization. It is believed that under adaptive leadership, it is not enough for the main leader of a group to adapt to changes or new challenges; rather it is imperative for every single member to be challenged with adapting in new and challenging ways in order to grow and overcome obstacles. One key element of this type of leadership is that it is is not a passive form, but an active form of leadership; the act of constantly ensuring members are attempting to adapt takes the direction of an active leader not one who is just there in the background. As the leader employing this type of leadership you may run into a bit of pushback from people in the ground due to them being put into situations that they are not used to and/or do not feel particularly comfortable with when first starting out. Change can be hard at times, and this leadership style is one of constant change. Under adaptive leadership leaders will use both their formal authority (being their official position, status, rank, etc) as well as their informal authority in order to create the changes they believe are needed. In order to do this, leaders following this style (like many other leadership styles) must have a grasp of the vision that they have as an leader as well as for the organization itself; it is with this vision that they can see the best ways to get their followers to adapt. Adaptive leadership is split between both technical (easily solved problems, handled by knowledge, etc) and adaptive challenges (where problems are new and or require more than the usual skills). Knowing these two types of challenges will help leaders see how to handle different situations as they come about. Leaders must also acknowledge that problems and challenges may also fall into both of these categories at the same time. In order to help identify what type of classification a particular scenario would fall under, table 9.4 was created. It is an easy to follow chart that you may use to aid in seeing what type of situation you are experiencing and the methods that are recommended to employ.”
