Reflection 2

Which Professional Learning Goal would I want to emphasize during a job interview?

Policy:
Fundamental Principles

My learning goal is to ensure that all of my students have the opportunity provided to them as often as possible to succeed, not simply in school, but in life as well.

To achieve this goal, I must be attentive to each and every student in the classroom and make sure I am enabling them to do their best through differentiated instruction when it is necessary

I would choose to emphasize this in a job interview because I feel like student success is the most important part of their education. Making every student believe that they are able and capable of achieving something is imperative to their continued effort and engagement. I have personally worked with a student in my placement on a math assignment and saw that he was struggling with a certain concept, as I worked through the problems with him and provided him with as many different tips and tricks as possible, he was successfully able to complete the task and his confidence was boosted tremendously.
