Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate my personal beliefs as an educator based upon the NBPTS core propositions and RWRCOEL Dispositions in Diversity, Technology and Professionalism. Provide examples of how I have demonstrated areas of high performance, and provide steps in which to work towards proficiency in areas I deem deficient or in need of improvement.

As an educator the need for continuous self-reflection is essential to growing as a professional. Since self-reflection is vital; the need to track and monitor progress also becomes essential, because of this I have found the e-portfolio to be a key part of the experience. …show more content…

Riley College of Education and Leadership (RWRCOEL). Areas in which I rated myself high in were those that related to: commitment of student learning and needs and fostering an environment of positivity and respectfulness between student and teacher as well as students among peers. I believe this area ranked high as I do value students learning, and recognize the importance of students genuinely being able to learn in an environment of mutual respect and tolerance. This is demonstrated in my classroom in a variety a ways. For instance, fostering an environment of positivity and respectfulness, at the beginning of the school year as a class we draft a “bill of rights” that addresses the rights we all have as members of the class community students voice how they have the right to feel safe, heard, and respected, and how they have the right to learn. During this time I also include the rights I have as the teacher, the right to be respected, teach and guide them in their learning. By doing this we establish a community of norms and expectations that are agreed upon by all …show more content…

Areas in which I ranked lower were based on curriculum development, collaborating with parents to involve them in the work of the school and delivery of instruction. These areas were ranked lower; especially in curriculum development as in my district educators do not have the autonomy to decide how they will deliver instruction nor the autonomy to decide how concepts will be presented, or the materials they will use to present said concepts. These decisions are decided upon at the district level. Additionally, our school employs a parent liaison that facilitates collaboration between the school, parents and the community. Conversely, areas of subject knowledge and mastery of content area were ranked rather high. I feel I ranked myself high in this area for several reasons one of which is the love of the subject. This is my second year teaching reading, and it is a new curriculum however because I know that students one: abhor reading and are generally working below area in reading. I deem it necessary to be well versed in my content area simply to be able to present concepts in different areas to keep students motivated and engaged. Additionally, I understand the value of being able to read and how a person who struggles in reading limits their opportunities in life.

IDEA OR PRACTICE BEING USED: The district worked collaboratively with teachers to develop personalized learning for all educators to help with using new technology in their classroom.

The Common Core State Standards believes that it successfully prepares students’ academic careers to enter college and businesses with clear guidelines to decent test scores. However, with the lack of flexibility and creativity, there is always a limitation that students can learn from the scripted lessons. Although scripted lessons can ensure student’s academic achievements, students learn more from their experiences like projects that require creativity. Consequently, the educators must consider that an individual has different learning styles and different paces of learning. Thus, the teacher’s job is to discover individual’s strength and weaknesses and help them to walk through the right path and not only to stuff one’s head with knowledge

Task 16 U2 AC 2.2 - Explain why it is important to select teaching and learning approaches, resources and assessment methods to meet individual learner needs. There are a number of theories that have evolved over many years that state the current schooling methods do not work… The current methods of teaching are institutionalised and promote one method of teaching for everyone… It is the opinion of many scholars, teachers, professors and applicators of the teaching system that a change is a long time overdue and now is the time to allow learners to learn instead of expecting them to learn from one method. A favourite quote of mine is: “If you can’t learn the way I teach, then I will teach the way you learn”, and this very much sums up the way

After reflecting on the big idea F, effective and efficient instructional planning, the resources and activities provided for students in the classroom look very different than they did in the past. The video, “The Myth of Average” by Todd Rose sends a powerful message to educators. If the curriculum is planned with scaffolds that reach all learners and not just the average learner, then everyone benefits. There is no “average” learner, so as educators, we need to design learning with a goal in mind and provide a variety of supports so everyone has access. Planning instruction begins with learning about the students’ cultural backgrounds and prior knowledge so they can make connections to new learning.

The “Action Research Project” from my Theories of Instruction class forced me to take a systematic approach at collecting multiple sources of data, analyzing it, and then representing it in order to determine how exactly my own instructional practices should be improved on. The “Effective Schools Project” from my Ethical Leadership class similarly helped me learn how to assess multiple perspectives and sources of data regarding issues such as the school’s climate, the school’s safety, student progress, and time on task. The “Field Experience Project” from my Curriculum Management class taught me how to look at the standardized test data to determine an area where curricular reform was needed and what my next steps would be to accomplish this reform. Finally, the “School Board Activity” from my Curriculum Management class helped me learn how to use data from an interview with a school board member to gain an understanding of where the school is at in assessing its effectiveness and how the school plans to achieve its

Regardless of these rankings, the United States’ youth (secondary school and below) aren’t putting forth the effort needed to improve rankings, along with other assessments and diagnostics like the ACT/SAT, LEAP, and others. There are reasons for this. Not only are students performing poorly on assessments, but they are also not learning what may be required for them later in life, after post-secondary education.
