Throughout middle and high school, the majority of my assessments were memorization based and I often did not do well. I went from being a star student in elementary school to needing extra help in almost every subject. I was not offered a variety of ways to present the information I had learned, and instead was expected to learn in a singular way. Every student learns in different ways and therefore teachers need to be flexible in the ways they teach and assess students.

Student data is essential for teachers to find out what content areas specific students are struggling with and where they are thriving. This information will inform which students need extra help and who needs to be challenged. Some methods I want to use to collect data are constant observations, projects, and quizzes.

I am a white, heterosexual female who grew up in a wealthy suburban neighborhood. I was privileged to grow up with everything I ever needed in a loving household with my mom, dad, older sister, and younger brother. I need to keep all of this in mind as I teach my future students because every person comes from a different background and culture. To ensure that all of my students feel comfortable and safe in my classroom, I want to develop close relationships with each individual so they can focus on learning. I also want to constantly consider the biases I have and how they might effect my teaching.
