**Beliefs: How has completing the above assignments and your student teaching influenced your beliefs about
what constitutes appropriate guidance strategies and promoting the positive social emotional growth of
children?
o These artifacts really got me to let the children be more independent, I always found my self-kind of
babying some of the kids but when I realized they could do it themselves I encouraged them to create
social relationships and do things on their own.
o
**Future Growth & Next Steps: Think about your future teaching, list three goals to help you improve
upon your existing knowledge and skills and your teaching.
Identify how you will achieve each of these three goals. Be specific. For instance, will you enroll in a
course? If so, what course? Will you read a book? What book?

I want to stop being so overly watchful of the kids, even though they need to be watched constantly I need to
pull myself away from hovering over them. I will do this but trying to pull myself out of the sandbox or away
from the sing if I am not playing with the children outside.
I will guide more, than takes over. I will do this by having both the children talk to each other and not to me.
Have them solve their own problems with some guidance. I will do this by having both people tell each other
how they felt and what hurt them.

**These sections should be based upon your reflections of your student teaching experiences.
