1. INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN & LESSON PLANNING
Applying concepts from human development and learning theories, the effective educator consistently:
c. Designs instruction for students to achieve mastery; e. Uses a variety of data, independently, and in collaboration with colleagues, to evaluate learning outcomes, adjust planning and continuously improve the effectiveness of the lessons; and f. Develops learning experiences that require students to demonstrate a variety of applicable skills and competencies. In my current field experience, I do many things that would go under this category. First, I would like to mention that I have started a reading group of students that are almost on level. Every week we focus on a certain skill and do a graphic organizer to gather our thoughts. Usually, whatever the focus is in shared is what we do in guided, but sometimes it may be different. The second thing I would like to mention is my work with making homework packets. When I make the packets, I look at each kid and try to see where he or she needs the most work. Some kids get extra math, and other get extra reading. Homework packets are differentiated and are tailored to each individual child. When I make the packets,
I do not really think about the process. Its just naturally differentiated in my brain and before today, I thought nothing of it.
2. LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
To maintain a student-centered learning environment that is safe, organized, equitable, flexible, inclusive, and collaborative, the effective educator consistently:
a. Organizes, allocates, and manages the resources of time, space, and attention; b. Manages individual and class behaviors through a well-planned management system; c. Conveys high expectations to all students; d. Respects students cultural, linguistic and family background; e. Models clear, acceptable oral and written communication skills; f. Maintains a climate of openness, inquiry, fairness and support; g. Integrates current information and communication technologies; h. Adapts the learning environment to accommodate the differing needs and diversity of students; and i. Utilizes current and emerging assistive technologies that enable students to participate in high-quality communication interactions and achieve their educational goals.
I have highlighted all of the goals in this section because I am doing things that deal with each and every one of these. I always convey high expectations to all of my students. I do a lot of management tasks such as lining the kids up and taking them to specials. This requires a lot of behavior management. Since I am new, some of the students do not take me seriously. However, I have recently started to move colors and take away tallies when necessary and now they are starting to see me as more of a teacher instead of an assistant. I have also begun doing read alouds every day before lunch and the kids love every minute of it. It doesnt matter what book I pick, they seem to love anything I read. In my opinion, the goals that I have made in this section hit home the hardest because they have a lot to do with working with the children. They are the main reason why I am here, so anything that helps me strengthen my connection with them is good with me.
5. CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL IMPROVEMENT
The effective educator consistently:

a. Designs purposeful professional goals to strengthen the effectiveness of instruction based on students needs; c. Collaborates with the home, school and larger communities to foster communication and to support student learning and continuous improvement;
d. Engages in targeted professional growth opportunities and reflective practices, both independently and in collaboration with colleagues; and e. Implements knowledge and skills learned in professional development in the teaching and learning process. For this section, I have decided to make sure I attend all PBS events, which require me taking a small group of students to an event with many other classes. It takes a lot of management because the students need to know the behavior that is expected of them at all times. We also talked about me attending a parent teacher conference night to see how my CT interacts with the parents in her class. It will be beneficial for me to see because that is not something you learn to do in a class. Also seeing how my CT records her interactions with the parents is vital because if a parent claims the teacher did not communicate with them, she has proof. I have started interacting with parents in the mornings, and it is a little bit nerve wrecking because they dont see me as a teacher. Lastly, I will continue to check binders and interact with parents that way as well.
6. PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY & ETHICAL CONDUCT
Understanding that educators are held to a high moral standard in a community, the effective educator adheres tothe Code of Ethics and the Principles of Professional Conduct of the Education Profession of Florida, pursuant to State Board of Education Rules 6B-1.001 and 6B-1.006, F.A.C, and fulfills the expected obligations to students, the public and the education profession. The goals in this category are ones that need to be fulfilled at all times. This includes but is not limited to: showing up on time, dressing professionally, going to PLC meetings, faculty meetings, and any reading trainings that my CT thinks I should attend. These are beneficial to attend because it teaches me about the behind the scenes work that teachers do.
