Reflections and Artifacts
Professional development and reflection is a huge responsibility of a teacher. I included a link to google docs because it is a part of google suite. Google is always on top of change and growth. I also included links to my blog and course site because they are both simply a demonstration and reflection of professional growth within this class. Teachers must desire to be life long learning. Part of fulfilling that desire would be attending professional sessions for growth. One of the biggest ways that I have grown in recent years is through reflection. I grow from self-reflection but I also am able to grow from reflections of others. The blogfolio and course site do a wonderful illustration of this.
Future Learning Goals
As I mentioned earlier, I hope to stay involved in professional development programs at my workplace.
