wide impact on student
learning.
While reflecting, aside
from the obvious looking
into whether the students
met the learning objective
or not, I do look into
student engagement. I
stress that students are
engaged because I feel
that is one of the keys for
them to meet their
learning objective. The
goal is for the class to run
as smoothly as possible
even with the little
hiccups here an there. I do
also reflect to see if I may
have said something that a
student might have been
offended by. Overall I
rated myself as emerging
instead of exploring due to
the lack of reflection with
my colleagues which
should be changing now
due to having my mentor
teacher. (9/29/19)
Reflecting on whether I
have the methods to
support a wide range of
learners is something I
started actually doing my
first year of teaching. But
it was more of a guilt
because I was sure if I was
reaching all my students.
After discussing the with
colleagues overtime, I
learned different ways
and techniques to support
a full range of learners. I
try to get reading
comprehension methods
from english teachers and
math techniques to teach
the students since both
help in a science class.
The trick has been to
reach all learners.
Something I hope to be
able to do. (4-30-2020)
During reflection,
especially during these
distance learning times,
the first thing I do look at
during reflection is the
engagement of the
students. What level of
engagement am I
receiving? Did my
students meet the learning
objective? During
reflection with colleagues I
do try and look for trends
among students, because
sometimes trends tend to
show if there is something
that needs immediate
addressing with the
students. (12/01/2020)
Reflection is done both
individually and with
colleagues. Individual
reflection is done
regularly, and is done
using the CSTP learning
standard in order to be
able to improve my
teaching skills. Reflection
with colleagues is done
on the weekly basis as a
whole and on the weekly
basis in the department
meetings. Reflection is
done with the focus on
the students and on ways
we an assist them in
meeting their learning
needs and objectives.

This self assessment has
shown that there is much
more that I can be better
at. The goal is to try and
improve every year and to
try and master these
goals. Two aspects of my
teaching I will be focusing
on trying to improve are
Planning and Assessment.
I do use the 5E model for
planning, I do plan on
attending professional
development for planning
and assessments as well
as some type of training
for ELs to pick up more
strategies to further assist
the students.

Teaching goals are to
perfect the teaching
practice, which at times
may seem impossible. I do
engage in different
professional development
activities in which I learn
different ways to increase
my growth and
development as an
instructor. (12/01/2020)

 I do attend a weekly
meeting with my
colleagues in which we
discuss the levels of our
students.I do
communicate the most
with the special education
instructor in regards to
those students.We do
discuss their levels, work
completed, and what can
we do to further assist
those students. I do need
to improve on
collaborating with
colleagues in order to find
ways to best support my
students. (9/29/19)
6.4 Working with Is aware of the role of
families to support the family in student
student learning learning and the need
for interactions with
families.
Regular contact is
maintained with the SPED
instructor, EL coordinator
and 504 coordinator. We
discuss a variety of things,
students' current levels,
current work, how much
more support can we
provide and how we can
make sure we are meeting
their learning needs.
Sometimes we do not see
eye to eye, but whatever
extra work I can handle
helps a few kids. (4-30-
2020)
While regular contact and
meetings are happening
on the school site in order
to improve and support
student learning, those
meetings are not only
with other teachers and
parents, but with other
professionals as well as
the speech therapist,
SPED instructor at times.

Collaboration with
colleagues is done
regularly. One of the most
helpful actions has been
sharing our strengths with
colleagues and vice versa,
this has provided us with
help to not only share
what we are good at, but
also to strengthen our
weakness or areas in need
of improvement in the
classroom. (4/15/21)

Family is very important
to the development of the
students whether it is
inside or outside the
classroom. I have both
pleasant and unpleasant
interactions with parents
(mostly pleasant). I do
invite the parents of my
students to attend and
observe a class if they
have any concern in that
regard although I have
never had a parent
actually do that. One thing
I did start at the school
was the cultural food
festival were students can
bring food pertaining to
their background. That
has been a huge success. I
do look forward to
attending more
community events.
(9/29/19)
Having the families
involved as I previously
stated is very important.
Understanding the
families different
backgrounds and what
they are going through
helps a lot as an instructor.
This type of awareness
encourages parents to be
involved in school and be
more involved in their
kid’s school life. I actually
had a student walk to me
and ask me to mentor him,
which caught me by
surprise. After observing
the student’s
surroundings I discovered
that it is because of the
way I spoke to him and I
provided him positive
feedback when he
struggled in my class. (4-
30-2020)
As an instructor I try to
communicate with
parents as much as
possible. This is the part
where I question whether
cultural norms play a role
in the way certain
parents communicate
with the instructors. Most
parents have been
unresponsive and act
very bothered when they
are contacted by their
child/s instructors. With
that being said, the
responsive parents were
very responsive given the
current circumstances
where we have to
communicate with them
either via zoom or via a
phone call. (12/01/2020)
Families are provided
opportunities to actively
participate all the time in
both the classroom and
school. Results have not
been where they need to
be but that has been a
work in progress.
Hopefully we can get
more participation from
parents because it does
tremendously help the
students. (4/15/21)

I always believe that a

this belief is the level of

I do my absolute best in trying to remain professional at all times and I am well
aware of both my legal and ethical obligations. I do try and maintain a positive
classroom environment at all times in which students respect each other and the
adults in the room. One thing however that does linger with me the mostly after the
day is over, I always ask myself about my students with learning disabilities. I
always wonder if they understood/learned anything. This caused me the previous
school year to have to hold the former Sped instructor accountable, but this year
the new instructor has been very helpful and delightful. (9/29/19)

The next step for me would be to hold peers accountable to the norms and
respectful treatment of others. It is how I would do such a thing that has been a
hurdle. I still try to maintain a positive classroom environment no matter the day.
All rules and ethics are followed in order to ensure that the students get a fair and
unbiased education. (4-30-2020)
