 well as providing himself with a better means of collecting data. While prior
to the pandemic he would simply assess students based upon a speech that
occurred live in front of class, by utilizing various edtech tools in order to
accomplish the same goal, he has been able to view student speeches more
than once and as such provide deeper feedback in regards to their work.
- In a discussion with the ESL department chair we addressed how many of
our international students are fearful of taking assessments as they are not
sure what to expect. In order to alleviate the stress in regards to test taking
she suggested a variety of different online assessment tools that aid
students in becoming familiar with the way that assessment is carried out.

Analysis and Summary of Audience Assessment
Directions: Record assessment data into Assessment Data Table (see end of document). Include copies of assessment tool with submission. Include at least one graph in your summary.

In order to analyze audience satisfaction, I created a google forms assessment that asked my audience members to reflect on my TLP
presentation. The questions I asked my participants ranged from how valuable they found the information presented to what the
likelihood was that they would implement one of the tools presented on in their own classroom. Through conducting this assessment,
I received data (both positive and constructive) that will drive future professional development sessions that I have the opportunity to
lead throughout my career.

First off, completing this project and the corresponding presentation I gained the confidence I
needed in order to know that I was well equipped to speak not just to my students, but to my peers
and colleagues as well. I would like to utilize much of what I learned through this process as well as
the valuable data that I collected to grow as a teacher leader as I continue my career.
I found that my session was exceedingly beneficial to my department as it gave us the opportunity
to discuss various pedagogical skills, as well as what was working in each of out classrooms, in order
to allow for continual growth. After my session, my department chair mentioned that these are the
types of topics that she would like to continue to implement into our meetings in the future as well.
While daunting initially, this was a great experience for me as I continue to grow as an educator and
leader.
Other Notes and Comments

This was an invaluable experience for me, as it got my out of my comfort zone and allowed for me to share some of the pedagogical
insights that I have been able to develop with my colleagues
