So you have decided to … May I suggest that you write a paragraph (or more) to address each of the questions that are … Reflect upon your statements; revise them when deemed appropriate! May you be inspired to take action … to inspire your peers … to enhance the context of your professional practice.
Consider:
How much time per week do you spend on planning to initiate learning experiences?
Would you describe your classroom supplies as being adequate/inadequate? Why?
What are some of the most pressing concerns you have regarding the problems that are occurring in your school/district?
What suggestions might you convey to improve instructional mechanisms in your school/district?
How often do you discuss problems that are occurring in your classroom/school (with peers)?
Have you participated in planning or initiating any (action-oriented) research/studies during the past 5 years?
What is the nature of your philosophical views about teaching and learning?
What instructional methods are most frequently employed in your classroom/school?
Identify (at least) two professional goals that you want to realize!
Remember, the more you write about something; the more proficient you will become. As you reflect upon your perception/reality; perhaps the sparks required to stimulate professional development and innovative processes will be perpetuated!
