This journey has been one that displayed all the emotions. I have enjoyed many pieces of the trip. I was very excited to see the last two classes in my class queue. I have worked tirelessly on 5315 & 5320. For the past 4 weeks I have worked all day every day to complete assignments to finalize the class and prepare my innovative idea for launch in the fall. This year has taken me from my family. I have missed sporting activities, school productions, and life in general. I have worked so hard on these two classes because we depart on a much-needed month-long vacation on July 5.
Throughout this ADL program I have appreciated the consistency of Dr. Sue leading a class in each of the 8-week sessions. I have appreciated Dr. H for his constructive criticism. He has shown his passion for the program. I have also appreciated the other class rotating instructors. I enjoy witnessing different teaching styles but long for a familiar face as well.
I did the pile of readings and met with my group multiple times throughout. As per the usual, Claudia, Anna, & Eboni all were probably more help to me than I was to them. I did make myself available and I answered all texts and email questions that were asked. I do appreciate my group; they did help to make the journey feel not so lonesome. I will cherish this collaboration and remember the models that they have been as I try to implement effective collaborative groups with my own students in the future.
I have enjoyed developing my e-portfolio throughout these classes. I have been meeting with our building principal and our Instructional Facilitator every other week we visit the innovation proposal regularly and have been working on development of ideas moving forward. They have helped to guide me on this journey as well. Our meetings will continue throughout the entire implementation process.
Overall, I am satisfied with where I am at. I believe that I can always do better, and I love the opportunity to reflect. My confidence is growing each day. I will continue to grow and learn. Give up is not something I understand. I have a hard time judging solely on content, but I understand effort is difficult to judge.
I believe that my entire team deserves high marks 100%. They truly are amazing individuals who are doing a great job managing busy life schedules with college. I am usually my own harshest critic. I believe that effort is valued high. I have put ample, efforts into my learning and would score myself very high (93-98%). However, my collaborative efforts with my team could improve and I would score myself in the (80-85%) range. Averaging them out, I believe that my score should land around an 90%. I am looking forward to next schoolyear as I launch the plan that has been developed in this program. The students will achieve so much more!
