As a high school educator I am always trying to find new and innovative ways to improve my instructional style and student learning at all levels. Being able to retain, recall and transfer information effectively is important to me as a Career and Technology Education teacher. Making sure that I keep up with the latest instructional materials and equipment to enhance and engage students learning is a constant.
Organization and Time Management are the areas in which I am strong. The Self-Assessment has also confirmed that I need improvements in the area of involving students in the designing the lessons. Having student input and feedback on what they learn and how it relates to all students is vital to journey as an effective teacher. Demographics in our school district have changed over the past seven years. Making sure that I plan lessons for such a diverse group of students has my undivided attention. It is my desire to plan lessons that is conducive to all level of learners and their academic success.
Teaching high school keeps me busy planning lessons and facilitating my class. It has been through staff development training, my mentor and the help of other co-workers who introduced me to different programs filled with interesting business activities to enhance my instructional strategies. This has been essential in assisting me to accomplish my daily classroom routine. Two years of experience as a high school Instructional Technology teacher is an asset to my Masters’ journey. Being able to witness young learners demonstrates their creative skills and knowledge through the advancement of technology keeps me learning. However, the use of the internet and other technical programs will prepare them for future careers to become productive citizens in society.
