Professional+Goals+and+Reflection

 //SAS faculty members will identify three professional goals for the school year. At least two of the three goals must be connected to the SAS Professional Teaching Standards. One goal may reflect a personal professional interest. All three goals will work together to enhance student growth and achievement.// This past year, I feel that I achieved two out three of my goals.

I accomplished my first goal related to integrating technololgy in my instruction. I use my smartboard daily for powerpoint presentations and geometry warm-ups. I have increased my use of my blog, although next year I would like to make more frequent entries. I also used Sketchpad with my Geometry class, but this should also increase next year with our laptop program and upcoming PD days devoted to Sketchpad. I used Moodle to assign and collect Problem of the Week assignments, although I still find it a bit tedious. I am hoping to expand that use next year with our one-to-one laptop program. My second goal was to update Atlas for my Algebra class. For the most part, I was able to accomplish this. I need to investigate getting the course title edited, and next year I will need to continue to add to my Atlas account with the new textbook/material adoption. I did add Essential Questions to all Algebra units, so next year I will need to focus on creating an Atlas class for Geometry if it is offered.

My third goal was to investigate and apply for admission into a program for earning an administrative credential. I have looked at several options, and I am most interested in The College of New Jersey's summer program in Mallorca, Spain. I did not sign up this for financial reasons, but hope to join the program in the summer of 2010.
