Teaching is a lifelong learning process and therefore I aim to continue to grow in this profession forever. I am a lifelong learner and it’s exciting to know that teaching is not something that can be mastered but rather something that can be developed and researched and there are so many avenues for growth. I intend to continue to grow through professional development opportunities. I will attend district workshops and will read the new research articles and books to further my knowledge on education.  I intend to take this research and new found knowledge and apply it within my teaching practice through the lessons I create and instruct in the classroom. I hope to learn more about the inquiry process, assessment, and how to meet the needs of all learners in the classroom. As well, I truly value collaboration therefore I aim to always collaborate with my peers, coworkers, and mentors. Through collaboration I gain so much knowledge and new perspective. I walk away questioning things I had never questioned before and the amazing opportunities collaboration with others provides is endless. I want to continue to grow personally and continue to be pushed outside my comfort zone and although it’s scary, it’s definitely worth it.

I want to continue to be/have:

REFLECTIVE              PASSIONATE           OPEN-MINDED      BIG HEART

COLLABORATE         GROWTH         LEARNER         BALANCE       ADAPTIVE
