Goal #3:
Develop an understanding and use of
GLAD strategies and learn Spanish.
GLAD strategies are supposed to be
especially effective for English
Language Learners, but at the same
time beneficial to all students’
understanding.
Within 3 years.
I would opt to attend trainings during
summers if possible. I can further
develop Spanish language skills at my
own pace with the free Duo Lingo
language learning app.

Increased civic involvement. Public
school teachers are repeatedly
obligated to promote civic
involvement to their students. It does
not ring true if I am not practicing
what I am obligated to preach. I have
not been involved in the community
outside of pursuing teaching as a
career.
Before the end of this year.
I will begin by editing a professional
development video for my
cooperating school after student
teaching is over.
