Reflections:
Project 1: This project took up the majority of my internship hours and is an ongoing project for me, my
principal, our students, and our entire district. It has been an extremely laborious task but has been a
journey that I am glad I embarked upon. The students have developed a growth mind-set and have
become self-directed learners. They take their learning into their own hands and I know that I have
played a part in that accomplishment with them. Scores on the first benchmark exams showed academic
success so the program is a success in all areas of evaluation.

Reflections:
Project 2: The fears that led up to project 2 turned out to be without merit and we were all pleased to
learn that the high number of students that did not show up to school on the first day of school had not fled
out of fear of deportation. The goal of reaching 90% of them was reached and the vast majority of the
families had simply transferred to another district within Pasadena ISD. The remaining families
transferred to Houston ISD due to subsidized breakfast, lunches, and dinners sent home with each
student, as well as other surrounding districts for various reasons.

Reflections:
Project 3: The Fall Festival was a great success with record turn out and record ticket sales. Students,
parents, vendors and stakeholders who participated expressed high levels of satisfaction on survey results.
Suggestions for next year were collected and will be implemented where possible. A feeling of community
was achieved and parental involvement was at an all-time high.
