Reflective Blog #4

The tenet that I focused on for assessing learning was Learners should receive constructive guidance about how to improve. I focused on this one because all to often we as educators are given one day of training on how to implement IFL strategies or new math programs and are expected to implement it perfectly to our students. This is nearly impossible if you still have questions about the subject that your teaching or if the person who is demostrating the new program has never taught with it themselves. This is something that is all to common in some districts and is a practice that needs to be changed.

The portfolio will allow me to examine where I started at to the point of where I am going. The development of the portfolio is a vehicle in which one can use to gain understanding about the progress one has made throughout an ordeal. It allows you to go back and look at what you initially accomplished as a result of instruction and analyze the improvements that can be made overtime. Also it will motivate me to be more creative with my use of technology with my students.
