reflection on 1.6

according to my undestanding, as an instructor this what i needed most to an extent that i will be using it at the end of each lesson to evaluate my self after class. in that case i will be able to know how much the students have gained and as me, i will be able to tell wether i have taught or not, or if they have understood or not. thank you CCTI for these wonderful courses,

reflection on 1.5.4

To me as person, i had never taken time to understand the difference the websites we use. In this lesson i come to understand their difference and meanings. As a teacher or an Instructor, this is what i really need for my professional goal. i have loved this lesson and i need to dig deep into it to widen my knowledge  for the better.
I am not lost but am gaining strength and love for the course and my participation is increasing each and every day that goes by.

My PLN has really done alot in completing the tasks of this lesson through making research on websites that can develop the teacher professional development. Websites that guide me as an instructor in planning and developing mentors to my learners in the classroom.

The research groups have done alot and i really do congratulate them for sharing their wonderful resources and knowledge with the rest of the members.

Reflection on 1.4.4

To me as a person i have learnt a lot in this unit. i have been able share my knowledge and feelings with members. sharing and caring is the way to go. it has also open my eyes in the sense that i can sell my professional goal world wide where by people can give their views and in case of any mistake made, corrections can be made according to the guidance being given. As an Instructor, i have been able to get useful resources related to professional goal and the learners as well. i have been able to put up related post on topics related to professional development and at the same time for us teachers.
 
I think am ready and confident about this role because it is going to be part of me and continuous.
organizing and sharing resources has to be content related to my professional goal. I recommend all new users of technology to try it out and they will never regret cause it has really opened my eyes and made my research wider than before. thanks to CCTI.

professional learning criterias

student engagement

For the  school year,  improve my ability to engage students in their learning by attending and implementing Rigor and Relevance training, researching and implementing strategies for engaging students in rigorous learning, and refining my use of student involved formative assessment practices. These will be measured through pre and post assessments, student work samples, interim assessments, peer and principal observations and conferences, and self-reflection.

learning styles

During  school year, I will increase student engagement by using a learning styles inventory with every student and designing lessons that address the different styles within my class.  I will research teaching strategies to engage the different learning styles and study So Each May Learn by Silver. Measures of success will include student work products, observation, and student and teacher self-reflection

Special Education

 I will increase my knowledge of supporting students with autism. I will research on-line resources, consult with cooperative special education coordinators, observe a mentor teacher, and participate in a on-line short course on autism. This will be evidenced by notes and self-reflection, anecdotal notes on my interactions with autistic students, and the short course certificate

technology

 I will increase student use of technology for learning in my classroom. I will collaborate with group members in use of technology  to learn ways to integrate learning with technology in instruction. Evidence of success includes lesson plans, student work samples, and self-reflection.

reflection on smart workers Networks

nassalifatumah.blogspot.com
at least i have been able to create a blog, twitter and wiki.i love this contents because it opens my minds wider to explore new thing and learn. it has given me a wider scope for my exposure to world. as a teacher this is what i really need to do even in class. it captures what we group work and brain storming at large.

yes i do believe that am a smart worker

because i am able to navigate through the networks and get what i want to do.

my next learning goal is to have an online classroom with my students where i can be able to send them work and they are able to read to send me the feedback according to what i have assigned them to do.

questioning

During the  school year, I will improve my questioning techniques to engage students in higher level critical thinking and problem solving.  I will implement learning from study of Thinking Strategies. Growth will be evidenced through lesson plans, observation, self-reflection, and student work samples.
