Analysis

Performance Gap

Trinity Lutheran School recently went to a new management system. With this

management system teachers are able to take attendance, put lesson plans and homework on a

parent portal, keep a grade book accessible to parents and create teacher website for their class.

This is a new program to all of our teachers. None of the teachers have had prior use of this

management program. Teachers from grades 5 through 8 feel comfortable with putting their

grades, homework and creating the class website. The teachers for Pre-K 3 through 4th

grade are

not as comfortable with these skills. Many of these teachers do not know how to save a file as a

PDF and then upload it to their RenWeb class site.

A few teachers had asked me about posting their homework in RenWeb and how they

could post newsletters or worksheets. I told this to our assistant principal who had been trained

with RenWeb more than the rest of the teachers. At one of our first faculty meetings of this

school year Scott, the assistant principal, asked about the need for a tutorial on some of the

aspects of RenWeb and all of the primary teachers said yes they would love one. The teachers

from grades 5 through 8 really did not respond in needing one because most of them had been

playing around with the system already.

At our last faculty meeting, our assistant principal, Scott, was going over some of the

parts of RenWeb and was being bombarded with questions from the primary grades. They

needed things done slower and written down. Our faculty meeting was already going long and so

I talked to Scott about doing training for just the primary teachers as part of my CUW class. It


3

was during this meeting that I was able to see the gap between what the primary teachers knew

and were able to do with RenWeb and the middle school teachers.

After this meeting and another discussion with Scott, we decided to talk with the teachers

and decide what it was on RenWeb that they felt comfortable doing and those things that they

still felt they needed instruction on. After talking with teachers, almost all of the teachers could

take attendance and email through the RenWeb management system. Some of the teachers were

still unclear about posting assignments, posting web documents with their homework, adding

announcements, calendar events and web documents to their site. Two areas that were not

mentioned were using RenWeb for posting resources or posting a picture gallery. When asked if

they would use these tools most of them said yes and so these two areas were added to the

training.

Instructional Goals

After talking with the teachers and Scott the goals that I hope to achieve through this

training are as follows:

Teachers should be able to save a Word document as a PDF.

Teachers should be able to post assignments to their class website.

Teachers should be able to upload and post a worksheet that goes along with a homework

assignment to the class website.

Teachers should be able to create announcements, calendar events, post resources and

documents, and create a picture gallery for their parent to their class website.

Learners


4

The learners will include the primary grade teachers (Pre-K 3 through 4th

grade). The

teachers range in age from early 20s through late 50s. There are 2 teachers between the ages of

25 and 30, one teacher between the ages of 30and 35, one teacher 45 and 50, and five teachers

between the ages of 55 and 60. All of the teachers are female. The teachers are all willing to use

technology in their classroom but are sometimes not as comfortable as the teachers of grades 5

through 8 with the use of different technology programs. Many of the teachers fear that they will

do something in a program that they won’t be able to change. They are sometimes fearful just to

play around with a program because they either will get lost or won’t be able to get back to an

area that is needed. Most of the teachers want a step by step guide to what needs to be done for

each part of the RenWeb system. A few of the teachers would be willing to play around with the

program to figure out the process but many of them want to be told what to do and have someone

take them through the process. All of the teachers have some prior knowledge to the RenWeb

program as we were trained in the taking of attendance and all of the teachers are currently using

this part of the system. All teachers have laptops and are familiar with Microsoft Office. Posting

items to the website requires making Word documents into PDFs so that everyone will be able to

access the document. All but two of the teachers know how to save a document as a PDF. None

of the teachers have had prior training in posting homework to their class website or entering

information to the class website. All of the teachers were taken to the page where the homework

would be posted but none of the primary teachers tried this out during the training session.

Resources

The teachers will need their laptops. Some of the training will be in a classroom that has

internet and a SMARTboard to project the Management System to take the teachers step by step


5

through the different processes. A training manual has been created for the instructor of the class

to follow. Handout manuals will be given to the teachers to follow along as we go through the

training. The handouts will also be available online for the teachers to access if they misplace the

copy from the training session.

My thought is to offer both a face-to-face training but then to also have this information

available to teachers on-line. Some of the teachers I know learn better face-to-face and others

would be fine with just the directions or tutorial online that they could access to perform the

different tasks. Having the on-line access would also be helpful for any teacher on staff if they

forgot how to do something, they would have a place to go for help. This would also be used at

the beginning of each year as a refresher guide to those that may have forgotten how to do some

of the things over the summer.

The first activity will be completed before the training session using a job aid. They will

save several documents as PDFs to bring to training. They will also need dates and pictures on

their computers to use during the training session. In talking with the teachers, they all felt

comfortable in being able to complete these two items prior to the training session.

The instructional designer for this project management plan will be me. I will be

conducting interviews with the teachers to find out where they are and what they most need

when it comes to RenWeb training. The subject matter experts will be Scott, assistant principal,

John, technology coordinator, and Kathy, teaching aide. All three of these people have more

training and knowledge of the program. Scott and John went through separate training from the

rest of the teachers on RenWeb. Kathy will also be a help in seeing what she sees that teachers


6

are having trouble with when it comes to RenWeb. I will be the main instructor and Scott will be

a co-instructor. Scott will help me, the instructor, by walking around to help in answering

questions as we go through the different lessons.

The only financial aspect of the training is for the paper used to run the training

guidelines for the teachers.

Development

Pre-Training

Teachers will follow the Pre-Training Handout to save a document as a PDF. Teachers

should save their classroom newsletter and one document that could be linked with a homework

assignment (worksheet, note sheet, rubric, etc.). These documents should be saved to their hard

drive prior to the class meeting date.

Lesson 1

In Lesson 1 teachers will:

Teachers will be able to add homework assignments to their class website.

Teachers will be able to navigate to the Faculty Web to add homework assignments to

their class website.

Teachers will be able to add a Web Document that is linked to an added homework

assignment.

Lesson 2


Teachers will be able to navigate to the Faculty Web to add announcements to their class

website.

Teachers will be able to add announcements to individual classes or general

announcements meant for general information for their homerooms.

Lesson 3


Teachers will be able to navigate to the Faculty Web to add calendar events to their class


12

website.

Teachers will be able to add calendar events to individual classes or to all classes taught

by the teacher.

Lesson 4


Teachers will be able to explain the difference between a Resource and a Web Document.

Teachers will be able to navigate to the Faculty Web to add Resources or Web

teacher.

All of the lessons and handouts can be found in Appendix A and B.


13

Implementation

There are several topics that will be covered during the training session and one topic that

will occur prior to the training day. The one topic that will be accomplished prior to the training

is saving a document as a PDF. Teachers need to follow the instructions to save the document as

a PDF and bring at least two documents that have been saved as a PDF to use during the training

session. One document should be their class newsletter and the other one should be a worksheet,

note sheet, etc. that can be linked to a homework assignment

There will be five mini-lessons that will occur during the training session. Each lesson will

be gone through together but teachers will have handouts to use as the lessons our completed.

The topics are:

o Posting homework to their class website and posting a document that goes along

with the homework assignment.

o Posting announcements, resources, documents and pictures to the classroom

website.

I have created a training manual for the instructor to use during the class which includes the pre-

training class documents, the lessons and the handouts that go along with each lesson. For this

training I am the main instructor but will also have a co-instructor that will be helping monitor

the teachers’ progress. There will also be a handout manual for all of the teachers in the class that

contains all the needed handouts. These handouts will also be available online for the teachers to

access if they misplace or cannot find the original handouts.

See Appendix A & B for the Training Manual and Handout Manual


14

Evaluation

The purpose of my evaluation is to make sure that the teachers are able to perform the

necessary tasks in keeping their classroom website up-to-date through our school’s new

management system. At the end of the training teachers should be able to save documents as

PDFs, add homework and link documents to the assignment, add announcements, calendar

events, resource links, web documents, and pictures to their class site. Teachers should also be

able to locate needed information if they forget how do complete one of the listed tasks. Once the

evaluation is taken, I will see if more instruction is needed in any area and to see which teachers

may need more one-on-one training with the associated goals.

As the instructor, I will be conducting the evaluation. I will be observing teachers

throughout the class to see that the tasks are being completed as we go through the lessons. At

the end of the class I will also have the teachers complete a questionnaire to see how they feel

about the training. It will also assess how comfortable each teacher is with the tasks covered in

the training. This will help to see if changes need to be made for the training session and also to

see if some teachers need more assistance with the required tasks.

CIPP Model and ID Project

Context

o Context is the planning decisions that need to be made during the evaluation

phase. Evaluation of the needs and opportunities are completed during this phase.

Looking at the context helps to define and asses the goals within the program.

o The context of the training is based on the needed skills to put information up on

class websites through our new management system, RenWeb.


15

Input

o Input is the structuring decisions that need to be assessed during the evaluation.

During this phase decisions are made about the approaches, methods, and

resource allocations that will be needed to reach the intended goals.

o Lessons have been developed around the tasks that will need to be performed to

keep the class website up-to-date and keep parents informed. Lessons are based

on adding homework assignments, announcements calendar events, resources,

web documents, and picture gallery.

Process

o Process is the implementing decisions made during the evaluation phase. It is

during this phase that the implementation of the program are evaluated and

refined if needed.

o The instructor will follow the lesson plans provided to help teachers be able to

add homework assignments, announcements calendar events, resources, web

documents, and picture gallery to their class website through the new

management system. Teachers will have handouts to help guide them through the

process. Continual evaluation will occur to see if changes need to be made to the

training.

Products

o Products look at the recycling decisions through the evaluation phase. The actual

ends of the program are assessed to see whether success of the desired goals was

met.


16

o Teachers will show added information to their class website to show that goals

and objectives have been met. This will be shown through observation of the

teachers’ websites.

Kirkpatrick Model

Reaction of the learners for this training will be evaluated throughout the class. This

evaluation will be completed by observation of the learners throughout the learning experience.

Body language, questions, and comments can all be used to help evaluate how the learners’ are

feeling about the training process.

Evaluation of the learning that has taken place during the training will be completed by

both observations and questionnaires that will be filled out at the end of the class. As each new

task is taught and completed by the learners, the instructor and co-instructor will be observing

the steps being taken by the learners and whether success of the task has been achieved. After the

class learners will be asked to complete a questionnaire about how comfortable they feel about

completing the tasks covered during the training.

Observations will be used to evaluate the behavior of the learners. As the training is

occurring the instructor and co-instructor will be looking at the skills and abilities of the learners.

Through observation, the instructor will know if more instruction is needed on a certain task.

Teachers will be filling out a questionnaire asking them to assess how they feel about the

tasks covered during the training. Teachers will be asked to continue to keep their class website

up-to-date. Our principal and the parents will be able to see what the teachers are adding to their


17

class site. If homework assignments have not been added, the teacher and principal will probably

begin to hear complaints from parents who will be checking these sites more regularly. Teachers

will become more confident in their ability to add items to their website because they will access

their class website on a more regular basis.

The post-evaluation survey can be found in the Instructor Training Manual in Appendix

A.

Resources:

Handout about accessing announcements section on faculty web page

http://www.renweb.com/robohelp/sg1116dgh/renweb.htm (Follow these links once on

the help page: Faculty > Communications > Announcements)

Introduction:

1. Discuss what will be covered today. Discuss the following questions: What items do you

want posted on the website? What do you want parents to have access to on your class

site?

2. Most of this information was covered in the survey that was completed before the

training but it allows them to discuss what they want out of this training and may bring

up other concerns not thought of during the completion of the survey.

3. Explain that we are going to start with adding announcements to classroom sites and that

there are two different types of announcements that can be placed on the site. One type of

announcements are specific to a particular class. For example on Thursday you will need

to bring an apple for science class. This announcement would go on the science class

page. The second type of announcement is a general announcement that applies to your

homeroom class. This would include an announcement about field trip forms, or hot

lunch forms are due today or tomorrow is red day.

Content:

1. Please have the announcement examples out that you were supposed to have brought

with you to this training.

2. Login to RenWeb and access the faculty web. Once the faculty web has been accessed,

Lesson 4: Placing Resources or Web Documents onto the Class Website

Objectives:

Teachers will be able to explain the difference between a Resource and a Web Document.

Teachers will be able to navigate to the Faculty Web to add Resources or Web

Documents to their class website.

Teachers will be able to add Resources or Web Documents to individual classes or to all

classes taught by the teacher.

Materials:

Laptop

Documents that have been previously saved as a PDF that will be added to the

classroom site.

Resources:

Handout about accessing Resources and Web Documents section on the faculty web

page.


the help page: Faculty > Communications > Resources)


the help page: Faculty > Communications > Web Documents)

Introduction:

1. What is the difference between a Resource and a Web Document? Discussion will be

had that a resource is a website that you would like the class to go to practice skills or to

learn about a topic being covered in class. A web document is a PDF, Word, Excel,

PowerPoint, etc. that you have created on your computer and want it made available to

your students.

Content:

1. Adding a resource link will be looked at first. At this time none of the teachers have links

that they want made available to their class. We will show how it is done with a generic

link to a math website. Once they have a link they want to add they can follow the

handout directions and seek out help if needed.

2. Give out Handout 4A which will cover the steps for adding a resource to the class

website.

3. Teachers will return to the Faculty Web homepage to access the Resource tab under the

Web Configuration. This is the same start as in Lesson 2 and 3.

4. Select the class that we would like the link associated with. Since we are going to

practice with a math link, please select your math class.








41

5. In the Resource Window the first box is “Sort Order.” Since this is the first link we are

adding, there is no sort order. As you add more links to the list you can place them in a

specific order by placing a number in the “Sort Order” box.

6. In the description box you will write a brief statement about the website that we are

linking to. In this case let’s put, “A math site to help students work on their math skills.”

7. In the URL box we are going to put the website: http://www.aplusmath.com/.

8. Since this site is only dealing with the subject of math we will not check the global box.

If the website covered more than one subject you can check the global box and it will

show up for every class the teacher teaches.

9. Be sure to click save and then test the link just to be sure the URL is correct.

10. To see how it will look to the parents, click on the Parent Web and click on the resource

tab. See Handout 6A for more detailed directions On the Parent’s Web view.

11. After the resource has been entered, web documents will now be looked at and added to

the class site. Every teacher should have brought at least two documents to load to their

site. One should be their class newsletter.

12. Return back to the Faculty Web homepage and click on Web Configuration and then

Web Documents.

13. We will first add your class newsletter and then have each teacher upload a different

document on their own. Handout 4B is a step-by-step guide to what completed in the

training class.

14. Since the newsletter is going to be uploaded to the class site, everyone should select their

homeroom class.

15. Near the bottom of the window, click on the button that says “Add New Document.”

Handout 4C will show screenshots for uploading a new document to the site.

16. Browse your computer for the specific document to be uploaded. Click Open and then

Submit. A successfully uploaded message will appear. Once this message comes up,

close out of the browse window.

17. Double Click on the newly uploaded document.

18. Add a caption, a begin date and an end date for this document.

19. Click Save and then Preview to see the uploaded document.
