| Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) Professional Learning Community - Ames and Nevada, IA |
Teachers volunteered to partake in a professional learning
community organized by Dr. Jenna Seymour, Dr. Corey Drake,
and Veteran CGI teacher Deb Grummer. Members engaged in
activities similar to those who participated in Department
of Education CGI Summer Institutes. Organizers co-taught and
met with teachers throughout the school year in schools, and
across school meetings. AEA and Drake credit were offered at
minimum costs. Research data is being analyzed.
Collaborations continue and are expanding. Grant money is
being sought to expand the learning community.

| Technology Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) with Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) and SmartBoards |
Teacher education faculty, in-service teachers, and
pre-service teachers will be collaborating to develop TPACK
for using SmartBoards to mediate classroom discussion of CGI
problem solving strategies. One team including at least one
of each type of participant will be researched using the
SmartBoards in terms of their collaboration and TPACK
development. The research team consists of experts in
technology for learning and multicultural education
including Dr. Ann Thompson, Dr. Denise Schmidt, Dr. Niki
Davis, Dr. Ana Correia, and Dr. James McShay Products will
include collaboration materials for other pre- and
in-service teachers, and SmartBoard templates for all
teachers using CGI problems to use. Templates and SmartBoard
use will be designed to be culturally relevant and support
ELL student learning.
