By the end of Semester 1 in SY 2025-26, I would like to increase my skills around parallel teaching methods from a 7 to a solid 10 . I believe that by identifying certain students and their needs within the GOV class will both help students achieve success as well as make it easier for my teacher to know different needs etc.

I would also like to provide more positive affirmations towards my students I believe that by doing this students will feel both empowered and supported. This looks like calling home for positive messages or by simply praising students for all successes both minimal and big.
