Another take on Danielson and Tech by R. Jean Gufaston

R. Jean Gustafson from the Yakima WA schools, using ideas first presented by Nathan Mielke and me, has created this great guide. I like how she ties here school's specific resources to the basic framework. (Shared with permission):

 

Here's the current version as a GoogleDoc.

One of the struggles I have with the SAMR model is figuring out where to aim our PD efforts. If we start teachers at too high a level (above the line), we may face serious resistance. If we start at the substitution level, we may never be able to move everyone to more transformative, powerful uses of the technology.

It seems to me that by tying teacher expectations to Danielson, we can gradually increase expectations of technology use, creating a pathway that result in higher levels of application with the shock and resistance to too radical change. 

It may be so crazy that it just might work. Your experiences?
