Professional Growth Plan

Name: Jennifer Matosevic


Semester: PSII (Spring 2019)
School Year: 2019

Goal 1: To set and maintain clear expectations for my students. (TQS 1: Fostering
Effective Relationships: acting consistently with fairness, respect and integrity.)

expectations consistently.
• Discussions with my TA and UC to
check-in on my progress.
• Read the book Teaching with Love and
Logic to learn new classroom
management techniques.
Time Line Resources
• Over the course of my PSII Practicum • Teaching with Love and Logic – Jim
Fay & David Funk
Reflection:
1. How successful was my development of this goal?
I feel quite successful with my development of this goal. Throughout practicum, I
focused on my classroom management techniques in all classroom settings and
learned from trials of different techniques and suggestions from both my TA and UC.

2. What resources were most effective for my development?


The resource I found most effective was the book, Teaching with Love and Logic. I
learned so much from it over the course of my practicum and I did my best to try
some of the techniques that the authors suggested. I am looking forward to
continuing to utilize these strategies in my next practicum.

3. If I approached this differently in the future, I would…


If I approached this differently in the future, I would research additional resources so
that I would have multiple perspectives to draw upon.
Goal 2: To integrate FNMI knowledge in my music lessons. (TQS 5: Applying
Foundational Knowledge about First Nations, Métis and Inuit: supporting the learning
experiences of all students by using resources that accurately reflect and demonstrated the
strength and diversity of First Nations, Métis and Inuit.)

Reflection
1. How successful was my development of this goal?
I was reasonably successful with my development with this goal, but not in the way I
was anticipating. Throughout my practicum, I was able to integrate a few FNMI
concepts into my Science 7 lessons. Moving forward with this goal, I hope to find
more opportunities to integrate FNMI content into my music lessons. This was
difficult to do in this practicum because of the time that was needed to prepare the
students for their festival performances.

2. What resources were most effective for my development?


The resources that I found most effective for my development, were the different
lectures that my professors provided on the topic in the first half of my PSII semester.
It was these lectures that inspired me to include a few First Nations legends into my
Science 7 lessons.

3. If I approached this differently in the future, I would…


If I approached this differently in the future, I would create a music unit that had
specific lessons that focused on integrating FNMI content.
Goal 3: To meal prep healthy lunches and dinners for the week on the weekend.

Reflection
Throughout practicum, I have been quite successful with this goal. I picked a different
recipe each weekend to create for lunch for the following week. This goal really
helped me to be successful in my practicum because of how far I was travelling every
day.
