our local politicians, etc. I
did not rate myself as
“innovating” yet because
I do not feel I fulfill the
description for
“innovating.” However,
this is something I am
working on integrating in
my curriculum for next
academic year, so I
definitely will be working
towards this. 05/09/19

This is an area that I still

need to work on to get to
innovating. I think it’s
important to use the
community resources
available to me. For next
semester, I’m going to
find ways to get the
community involved in
my classroom. I believe
that my students would
greatly benefit from this.

I am extremely committed to student learning at all
moments. I work really hard to ensure that I am at my
best at all times for my students. I believe that they
deserve 110% of me when I am in the classroom. I
also am always communicating with my colleagues in
regards to students and any issues they may be facing
outside of school. My students confide in me a lot, so I
like to let my colleagues know when a student is
facing issues outside of school. I always make sure
that I am respectful of my peers as well as my
students. 09/23/18

Nothing has changed since the last time I rated myself

in this area. I continue to maintain a high degree of
professionalism at work. I go above and beyond to
ensure that my students feel safe, happy in my
classroom. I also work really hard to ensure that I am
meeting all of the needs of all of my students. I take on
extra activities as the Leadership teacher to ensure
that the overall culture at my school is a positive one.
