groups we reteach learning targets that students were
struggling with. This helps us divide the workload and

have worked hard on building family connections this

make sure to complete my trainings to stay up to date of my responsibilities as an educator. I attend IEP
meetings as needed. I make sure I am completing this class to clear my credential and become a better
educator. I treat students and parents with respect and listen to their needs and concerns. I also look out
for the social emotional needs of my students by constantly checking up on them before and after class. I
take the time to ask them how things are going and let them talk to me about whatever they want in
order for them to feel heard.

staying up to date with my induction classes. I make sure to be ethical in and outside the
classroom by treating my colleagues, students and parents with respect and kindness. I continue
to attend IEP meetings and make sure to accommodate as outline in each plan.

I demonstrate professional integrity by attending my scheduled meetings and coming prepared with the
data we need to analyze. I share resources with my team and make sure I am doing my part in unpacking
standards and coming up with instructional strategy ideas. I also meet with my mentor teacher weekly

5/1/24 I make sure to maintain professional integrity by ensuring all students are getting the support
they need with curriculum. I also make sure to keep up with my credential classes to make sure I will be
fully licensed as a clear credential teacher. I keep up with work and school deadlines and make sure to
treat families, students, coworkers with respect to foster a good environment. I have also worked on my
teacher leadership project to ensure I become a teacher leader and hold extracurricular activities for
students and families.
