Introduction Continued
In order to achieve my
goals and aspirations as a
teacher, and professional
I have dedicated myself
to lifelong learning. The
following PowerPoint
presentation maps my
current and future efforts
to professionally develop
as a physical educator
and leader within the
community.

Reflection
As a first year teaching in the Fremont Unified School District I
have continued to reflect and evaluate my own teaching
performance in my quest to completing year one of my BTSA
program. Year one of the BTSA program has shown me many
valued strategies to becoming a more highly qualified physical
education instructor including:
The importance of collectively collaborating with support providers, school
counselors, student study teams, administration, and BTSA support
providers to improve and enhance my teacher practices and performance.
Identifying specific areas where professional growth is necessary to
improve teacher effectiveness
How to create a positive learning environment that is conducive to learning.
How to use professional feedback to analyze student behaviors ; implement
necessary accommodations and modifications, differentiate assessment and
instruction to better support individual student learning needs.
Looking forward I see the potential for a lot of development on
both a personal and professional level.

Year 2
In year two of my
professional development I
intend to continue to work
toward the completion of
BTSA and quest to clear my
teaching credential. BTSA
has been a great resource
and learning experience for
me. I hope to continue to
learn about my learning
community, resources, and
other developmental
programs available to new
teachers.

physical education to: enhance knowledge, improve
professional practice, and increase support for high quality
physical education and sport, through research,
development of standards, and dissemination of

seminars, etc. by the end of year three, in hopes to broaden
my experience and learning outside the classroom.

Year 4
Year four I hope to explore workshops and seminars to better
support the needs of diverse learners. I would like to
participate in programs and training for English Language
Acquisition and Educational Language Instruction. This is
due to the fact I want to create more success for my EL
students by implementing necessary strategies,
accommodations and modifications. In order to effectively
due that I need to develop a deeper understanding of ELD
classifications, resources, and support factors. Time
permitting; I would also like to receive training from The
National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) and the
Council for Exceptional Children (CEC). In hopes to develop
alternative ways to challenge the naturally gifted athletes
often times found in the physical education setting.

Year 5
Some of the people I respect and admire the most in
education have taken on administrator leadership
roles in the school community. By the end of my fifth
year I intend to begin a new quest towards a
leadership role in education. I intend to begin
working on my administrative credential so I can
take on more responsibility and have a greater
positive impact within my school site, district , and
community. I hope to learn the ins and outs of
education politics in hope to enhance my specific
school site, student learning, and community
outlook.
