Administrator's focus:

Please describe the applicant’s current assignment, technology experience and leadership qualities, as well as the program’s overall commitment to technology integration and to the nominee’s participation in TIMAC, and what area you would like them to focus on in their mentoring of other instructors in your program. Mr. Rose is an English as a Second Language (ESL) instructor at West Valley Occupational Center (WVOC). He intregrates technology into his class on a daily basis using his laptop and projector to display the powerpoint presentations he prepares for each lesson. He also encourages his students to explore the use of technoloby by giving them exercises and projects that require them to access the internet, use their cellular telephone to call and text, and a homework assignment that asks them to call an answering service in order to listen to a prerecorded dictation. His ideas are innovative and help his students feel comfortable exploring technology while learning English. I would like Mr. Rose to share his enthusiam for using technology while teaching ESL and to help other teachers integrate these techniques into their lessons.
