Personal Reflection
Planning for instruction is of upmost importance as educators. I have shown proficiency and growth throughout the semester in planning and assessment strategies. This semester fostered a lot of growth in utilizing assessment strategies, gathering student data, and building rubrics. Integration of technology in the classroom is very important. I worked with student though programs like Adobe PhotoShop and Illustrator to create plans and initial drawing for their paintings and drawings. These are valuable resources and beginning learning how to use these technologies early will benefit students later in their educational career.
Element a: Teachers demonstrate knowledge about the ways in which learning takes place, including the levels of intellectual, physical, social and emotional development of their students.

This artifact is a reflection I wrote for my second lesson taught in the classroom at TVHS. The lesson was a group student driven critique for their mandala painting. I discussed learning objectives and expectations before we began the critique, as well modeled proper vocabulary and discussion tactics.
