 3. What has been your greatest accomplishment as a teacher during
your seven years of experience?

Answer:

During my seven years of teaching, I have had many accomplishments that I

am proud of. However, I believe my greatest accomplishment has been
implementing a new project-based learning curriculum in my classroom that
has significantly increased student engagement and achievement.

Before implementing this new curriculum, I noticed that many of my

students were disengaged and struggling to connect the concepts we were
learning to real-world applications. To address this, I designed a new
curriculum that focused on project-based learning, where students work
collaboratively to solve real-world problems related to Family and Consumer
Science.

Since implementing this new curriculum, I have seen a significant increase

in student engagement and achievement. Students are more excited about
learning and are able to connect the concepts we are learning to real-world
applications. Additionally, I have received positive feedback from both
students and parents, who have noticed the positive impact this new
curriculum has had on the students' learning experience. Overall, I believe
that implementing this new curriculum has been my greatest
accomplishment as a teacher.
