Principles of Technology-Enabled Teacher Development

The ability to apply technology is the core literacy of high-quality teachers in the new era. In order to strengthen the construction of school informatization, promote teachers to actively adapt to the new technological changes, and effectively carry out education and teaching, the Department of Education of Zhejiang Province has issued a number of documents related to the implementation of the primary and secondary school teachers' information technology application capacity enhancement project 2.0 (hereinafter referred to as the Enhancement Project 2.0), and put forward the basic realization of the "three enhancements, two advances, and one formation" overall goal to be achieved by 2022. The overall goal of the project is "three enhancements, two advances, and one formation" by 2022. This paper takes Teachers' Education Network (hereinafter referred to as Teachers' Network) as a sample, and focuses on and studies the roles assumed by the implementation units in the Enhancement Project 2.0, the paths of implementation, and the strategies of promotion.

I. Precise Implementation to Empower Teachers

1. Adequate Research, Positioning Needs, and Developing Programs

Teachers' Network follows the principle of "demand-oriented and application-oriented" and bases itself on the actual needs of schools' informatization construction and education and teaching, and arranges for several batches of expert groups to conduct on-site research and study through questionnaires, teachers' seats, and other forms of communication. In addition, the team will also identify the goals of the whole-school promotion, the content of the training, select appropriate curriculum themes, recommend appropriate focus and competency points, and assist the schools in developing a practical implementation plan for the whole-school promotion.

2. Careful planning, integrated design, and decomposition of tasks

The Teachers' Network, in conjunction with the whole-school promotion program, breaks down the training tasks in accordance with the steps of "program polishing, project initiation, training practice, evaluation and demonstration, and performance evaluation". In addition to the performance evaluation requirements, the "Whole School Calendar" was launched to design the tasks and operational methods for each stage of the school, and to accurately decompose them into specific project tasks. It helps school administrators and participating teachers to clarify their training ideas and responsibilities, and provides one-stop assistance for schools to carry out training in an orderly manner.

3. Professional Guidance, Matching Courses, and Promoting Training

In order to help schools promote school-based training activities, Teachers' Network provides all-around, multi-dimensional professional guidance. On the one hand, Teachers' Network builds an online learning platform according to the assessment requirements, sets up learning modules, and matches informatization theme courses according to the school informatization planning, teaching application and innovation, learning application and innovation, management and evaluation innovation, and teachers' professional development training system to meet the needs of teachers' various types of online training and school-based management; on the other hand, Teachers' Network produces training guides and PPTs of the operation guides of the online platform, records operation video kits, and promotes the training activities of schools by providing professional guidance. On the other hand, TeacherNet guides teachers through the production of training guides and PPTs on the operation of the network platform, recording operation video kits, and guiding teachers to complete the activities of selecting competency points, choosing courses for online learning, group practice and independent practice, so as to build a training system of "group learning and group study, collaborative development and service support", and to realize the learning, practicing, applying and upgrading of learning at the same time.

4. Comprehensive summary, application assessment, refining results

After a round of research and training, the school can actively carry out the digital campus, smart school construction, teachers are actively learning information technology teaching applications and the use of hardware and equipment, and actively participate in the information technology school-based training and practice activities to promote the depth of the integration of information technology and education and teaching. For example, Ningbo Yinzhou District, Jiangdong Central Primary School to build online and offline green learning circle, based on the full integration of information technology teaching of the underlying applications and subject applications, to explore the technology-enabled "teaching - learning - research" integration of the depth of the training model; Pujiang Longfeng International Longfeng International School in Pujiang County is actively involved in the construction of the cloud classroom, innovation in the East and West precision education poverty alleviation model; Nanxun Affiliated Primary School of Huzhou Normal College with the help of the Enhancement Project 2.0, to create a new model of school-based training; Xiangyang Primary School in Haiyan County, from the "application of multimedia introduction - analysis of the key points of the difficulties - online learning -The new model of teaching and learning is based on "multimedia introduction, analysis of key points, online learning, evaluation of learning, and after-school development"; Changxing County Experimental Primary School relies on the Zhijianghui network learning space to explore the mobile independent learning mode of "three rings, four learning, five guidance".

Second, professional services to achieve development

1. Top-level design, professional team, navigation

Under the guidance of the relevant departments of the provinces and cities, the Teachers' Network employs authoritative and well-known education experts to lead the way, and invites outstanding teacher training experts, teaching researchers, and first-line teachers from all over the country to join in the top-level design of the Enhancement Project 2.0; and at the same time, it has set up a team comprised of the Technology Department, Expert Group, Curriculum Department, Planning Department, Teaching Department, and the Department of Education and Training. At the same time, a professional service team consisting of the Technology Department, Expert Group, Curriculum Department, Planning Department, Teaching Service Department and Customer Service Department was set up to dock with the schools through visiting and researching, answering questions on air, and exchanging phone calls and nails, so as to carry out training service support in an all-rounded and multi-angle way.

2. Multiple people to one, real-time response, quality assurance

Teachers network first time to set up a work team, multiple people docking each school. The program maintenance WeChat group, nail group, and strive to service work in a timely manner to follow up, the first time to solve the problem, for the smooth implementation of the project to provide effective protection, in the form of a collection of questions and platform operation manual to answer all kinds of doubts of the teachers participating in the training. In addition, the Teachers' Network also improves the organic coordination mechanism of administrative management monitoring, training management monitoring and technical support monitoring, plays the functions of the platform's process analysis, precise push, real-time, remote interaction, resource aggregation*** enjoyment, and controls the dynamics of the training progress as a whole through the signing-in system, the monitoring of the learning data, and the system of feedback on the learning situation, so as to safeguard the quality of the training.

3. In-depth school, regular tracking, continuous guidance

In order to help solve the school's confusion, the Teachers' Network organizes and carries out "expert teaching, training guidance, results display, assessment and evaluation" and other guidance activities in the school, so as to achieve regular tracking and continuous guidance; sends a full-time project service personnel to docking schools, and closely cooperates and promptly communicates with schools, so as to ensure the quality of training. Schools work closely with each other, communicate in a timely manner, and carry out fine management and supervision. In order to facilitate districts and schools to understand the progress of the whole-school promotion of the Enhancement Project 2.0, the Teachers' Network regularly produces project newsletters and school newsletters, regularly pushes the participation of participating teachers in training activities, regularly summarizes the practice results submitted by participating teachers, and regularly organizes training resources such as fine courseware and excellent lesson plans to create a generative resource base.

4. Multi-dimensional reports, data analysis, evaluation and optimization

The Teachers' Network attaches importance to the analysis of data on the results of the Enhancement Project 2.0. Based on the experts' guidance in schools and the training data of each school summarized by the Enhancement Project 2.0 platform, it focuses on the formation of multi-dimensional reports such as the overall project briefs, the mid-term summaries of the project in terms of the region, and the summaries of the whole-school advancement of the implementation of the project in terms of the school. Combined with the implementation of the whole-school promotion, the collection of participating teachers' satisfaction, opinions and suggestions and other feedback information, the design of the training content, the arrangement of the training format, the allocation of expert resources, the construction of the network platform, the network course settings to optimize, and in the self-checking and self-examination to continuously improve themselves and enhance the effectiveness of the training.
