Affective: Beliefs and Values
This lesson provided me with the skills
necessary to be able to properly collect
and organize my resources in an online
manner that I can share with my
students and colleagues. This helped me
to see the flow of the lesson plan, as
well as to plan what resources would be
most utilized where.
Behavioral: Teaching Practices
Some of the key teaching practices I got from
this assignment were that I need to use
multiple means of representation to be
effective in the classroom. I can be even more
effective by using relevant technology and
tools that enable me to be organized and
specific with my intent. Now I have an easy
way to be able to share my resources with my
students, their families, and my colleagues.
Cognition: Knowledge Gained
This class enabled me to utilized
information I have gained from
previous courses in this program, and
build upon that knowledge to continue
to gain necessary tools and knowledge
to be effective in the classroom. I have
also gained knowledge about how
different means of representation and
media can be used to enhance and
inspire our students to continue to
learn and grow.

Affective: Beliefs and Values Behavioral: Teaching Practices Cognition: Knowledge Gained

Through this course and this lesson, I
learned about some of the different
things students struggle with in their
development to learning to read. I also
learned through UDL that we can use
multiple means of digital representation
to be able to reach the different learners
in our classrooms.
It has been interesting to learn how our
students learn to read. In the past we
learned about putting a learning map
together and what UDL and MTSS was,
but now I believe I have the skills to
actually identify what learning needs
my students have and design a learning
map utilizing different means of
representation to reach my different
learners. I now feel as though I have
more specific intent and purpose with
my planning process of teaching.
I believe that with the knowledge
gained in this course I will be able to
effectively adapt my teaching
methodologies towards the various
needs of my students from year to year.
I also feel as though I have a better
understanding of the many resources
available to me online. I plan to use
these resources to make my instruction
more effective, organized, and specific
towards my students needs.

Reflection Instructions
Given the Inspire Perspectives of Intra (what inspires me as a teacher) and Inter (what has shaped my
beliefs/values, practices, and professional knowledge), respond to the following prompts:
Intra:
● What is important to me as an inspired teacher? What are the important beliefs and values gained
from this class that inspire me (Affect)?
o It is important to me as an inspired teacher to be able to properly analyze my students needs
and design lessons that can be effective in meeting my student’s needs. As a substitute I have
come across several occasions where I just felt lost and frustrated. I knew that what I was doing
wasn’t working for everyone, but I didn’t have the knowledge necessary to be able to make the
proper changes. With the lessons I have gained from this course I now feel more confident in my
abilities to be able to design specific learning maps utilizing different resources that provide my
students with multiple means of representation. I am much more confident in my ability to
assess my students needs and adapt my lessons moving forward.
● What specific actions have I learned about from this class that I can take to remain inspired
(Behavior)?
o Specific actions that I have learned about from this class that I can take to remain inspired are
that there is a plethora of resources and information out there to be able to help our students.
We don’t have to recreate the wheel. When I was on Education.com looking for resources for my
toolbox I discovered there is a ton of information, resources, and learning maps already created
that can be used as guidelines or that we can take bits and pieces from to create the materials
that best work for our students.
● What are the important concepts, subjects, and/or knowledge gained from this class that have
inspired me as a teacher (Knowledge)?
o The important knowledge gained from this class for me was the ability to analyze my students
work and recognize the different learning needs or obstacles that they need help with to
overcome. In the past I have not felt comfortable in diagnosing my students needs. Now that I
 have knowledge concerning language development and reading development I feel as though I
have a better idea as to what to do when my students are struggling.

Inter:
● When I think about inspiring my PK12 learners, what are the beliefs and values that will guide my
decisions and perspectives (Affect)?
o My beliefs and values come from my background as a sociologist. I believe education is
supposed to be the great equalizer, but many of us know that not all students receive the same
chance. Thus, it is my mission to really focus on and help my students who have been
marginalized by other social systems we live within.
● What are a few key teaching practices and/or strategies I plan to implement to inspire my
learners/students (Behavior)?
o One specific teaching practice that I plan to implement to inspire my learners is using material
and making my lessons relevant to their lives. Everything that I do I will try to make sure my
students understand that it is a building block to being able to do the things they want to do in
their lives, or things that they enjoy doing. I plan to use current up to date media and keep it
engaging.
● Considering what I have learned from this class, how will I know each learner is inspired to learn,
wants to contribute positively to our learning community, and is thriving in my class (Cognitions)?
o I will know my learners are inspired based on my observations of their interactions with
each other and the material. I will know they are inspired by the data that I get back from the
assessment pieces as my formative assessment pieces will not only assess their academic
performance but their feelings as well. I also plan to stay in constant communication with my
student’s families, as well as anyone else they interact with throughout the day. That way I
can hear about any struggles or issues that my students have that I may be unaware of, or
possibly a breakthrough that one of my colleagues had that I may be able to utilize in my
methodologies. Most of all I believe I will know whether my students are inspired or not
based on my interactions with them. I will be empathetic to their needs and always have that
watchful eye. I personally like to play handball or foursquare on the playground with my
students and I believe that helps me to establish more trust and a stronger teacher to student
relationship with my students. I have found that in doing so I have much more success when I
try to talk to students or ask them to do something, and have a much stronger influence on
their growth.
