To do this, I will solicit constructive feedback from my administrators and coaches. I enjoy classroom observations as a time to refine my techniques and practices. I will also continue my continuing professional development by reading professional texts and participating in workshops. Implementing research-based techniques during teaching would be essential to improve student outcomes. One way to learn these skills would be to participate in guided reading and guided math groups. During these times, groups are smaller and more intimate. I will assess my student's progress each week using assessments, classroom observations, and end-of-unit performance tasks to guide my teaching. I will also create monthly incentives for participation. If other teachers agree, we could make it a competition between classes, where the class with the most attendance each month would receive a reward. Ex: a popcorn or pizza evening. I will also contact the parents of my students so that they are aware of the school's expectations in a creative way. I plan to create a Facebook account for the class where I can post information about the class. I also have a text message system that sends reminders to parents. I also created monthly parent workshops to break down parent-friendliness expectations.
