PART 3
Professional Growth Goal Reflection and Summary: Due May-June

Please note that I have attached documentation of the work completed this year above. I believe I met my goal as best as
humanly possible. I was able to spend time with colleagues in addition to finding time independently to address various projects
I currently use through use of Photoshop. I was also able to take advantage of a number of tutorials offered through YouTube.

My barrier is the fact that every few weeks Photoshop is revised/updated. So various aspects that are either subtle or large
change quite regularly. I believe that the documents I created allow more students to participate and give me stronger footing
for the next time I teach Computers in Art. At the same time, it has become clear that the only way to provide strong guidance in
this area is to be using this program on a regular basis.
Reflect upon your progress towards your professional growth goal. Did you meet your goal? If so, what led to your success within
this goal? If not, describe the barriers/challenges that led to your inability to meet your goal.

Having knowledgeable colleagues to banter back and forth with in addition to already having strong assignments to work from
were helpful.
What methods/strategies/activities or resources and support did you find to be most helpful toward achieving your goal? If your
goal was not met, what methods/strategies/activities or resources and support could potentially have helped you meet your goal?

It is quite possible that I will continue to expand on this next year. There is always room to grow in this area as the tools are
constantly changing.
How will your progress within this goal influence your professional growth-setting goal for next year?
