Growth and Change for Learners

Students come to teachers every school year with a portfolio from the previous grade level listing skills covered and their performance or ability in those skills.

This portfolio from the previous school year gives information such as.

Reading Level

Comprehension Skills

GPA

Math Level

Etc.

This gives educators a guide to help meet students where they are at in order to develop their skills and create growth.

Students show growth by mastery of skill or standard. Examples of growth are:

Gains in Reading Level ( moving from 2nd grade reading level to 4th grade reading level)

Mastery of Math skills ( proficient in addition and subtraction moving to multiplication)

As students achieve gains and growth in skills and standards change begins to happen in mindset, excitement, and curiosity in education starts to form.

Education is suppose to change students view of themselves, view of the world, and how they see themselves in the world.

As a middle and high school teacher I have seen growth in my students from the first time I walked in a classroom. From making MAP test gains at Yeatmen, to 90 science projects at Riverview Gardens Center Middle, and moving an entire class to the IB program at McClure North High School the best part is seeing them change into intellectuals (Little Einstein's).

I have definitely grown since my first years of teaching. By my fourth year of teaching I received a nomination for teacher of the year and another nomination my fifth year. I have remained flexible to new curriculum, strategies, administrators, and even virtual learning, making change not an obstacle for me. Continuously reflecting on new ways to engage my students and the latest research. The perfect example of this was last school year teaching 8th grade U.S. History and finding a cool way to teach the Articles of Confederation.

The students loved this way of learning that topic and I seen change when they where asking for more. Teaching is truly a gratifying experience.
