Reflection

I want to learn as much as I can and be open to all feedback given. Being able to be given feedback and then
applying it is an important component I want to integrate into my learning. A lot of people can be given feedback
and do not put action to the comments being said but I think this is an essential part of feedback; I want to take
every opportunity given to excel and grow as an educator.

Goal # 2

Demonstrating confidence with my ability to plan, instruct and assess my students needs. Taking
note of individual needs and the strengths and weakness of my particular classroom.

Reflection

I want to develop my ability to be a well-rounded professional body of knowledge; this will all be learned
throughout my practicums but would like to sculpt my knowledge more in depth. I would like to create lessons that
help students understand the link between activity and learning goals and learning activities that are engaging and
relevant to students. Building a lesson than carrying out the lesson and evaluating the lesson successfully and
knowing whether the lesson went well or not.

Goal #3

Creating positive healthy relationships with my students, TA and parents.

Reflection

I believe that fostering healthy relationships within your classroom is an essential part of teaching. Having a bond
with your students will help to develop trust and help add to a safe a positive learning environment. I believe it is
also so important to develop a relationship with the parents of your students this will help to develop a strong
support system for yourself as the teacher and the students.
