5e. Engages in targeted professional growth opportunities and reflective practices.
Reflection is one of the factors that separates average teachers from highly effective teachers. One cannot expect to live up to their fullest potential, as an educator, if they do not consider how to improve themselves or their lessons after they have been conducted. Throughout this final internship, I have kept a daily reflective journal of my experiences. I read over it often in an attempt to elevate my performance in the classroom and do my best to avoid repeating the same pitfalls.
