Understanding of the Competency:
Understanding of the Competency:
Throughout my final practicum, I deepened my understanding of what it means to be a responsible and collaborative educator. I learned how important it is to work as part of a professional learning team to support student growth. I collaborated closely with a learning support teacher to better understand the needs of a student on the autism spectrum and contributed to IPP planning. I also worked with a Rocky View Schools language specialist and attended workshops on supporting ELL students in writing. These experiences taught me the value of shared expertise and how collaboration strengthens inclusive education.
Goals and Strategies for Continued Growth:
Goals and Strategies for Continued Growth:
I want to continue building my capacity to support student achievement through collaboration, especially in First Nations, Métis, and Inuit education. I plan to seek out professional development opportunities and mentorships focused on long-range planning and cross-curricular integration. I will continue working alongside learning support and language specialists to co-develop inclusive strategies, while also improving my trauma-informed practices and targeted supports for neurodiverse learners.
Differentiation Mid-Range Plan.pdfThis assignment involved analyzing and reflecting on a differentiated mid-range plan. It shows how I planned with inclusion in mind and applied collaborative strategies to meet a range of learning needs, including language learners and neurodiverse students.

Throughout my practicum, I have actively engaged in professional development to enhance my teaching competencies. One key aspect of this has been attending weekly workshops in EDUC 4321, where guest speakers and professionals from various educational backgrounds shared insights and strategies. These sessions have played a significant role in shaping my teaching philosophy, reinforcing the importance of continuous learning, collaboration, and adaptability in my practice.
By attending these workshops, I gained a deeper understanding of inclusive teaching strategies, assessment practices, and classroom management techniques. These experiences have helped me reflect on my role as an educator and how I can best support diverse learners. Moving forward, I plan to continue engaging in professional development opportunities to strengthen my practice and stay informed on best practices in education.
Future goal: Demonstrate growth in reflective practice (e.g., adjusting lessons based on mentor feedback) and ethical collaboration (e.g., partnering with Indigenous educators). Collaborate with learning specialists to influence effective lesson planning.

Goal - During my practicum, I will actively engage with my mentor teacher, observing and adapting her teaching approaches and developing a strong professional relationship. I will keep in touch with my mentor teacher on a regular basis, document the instructional practices I see, and solicit feedback to assess my progress.
Strategy - I will establish open communication, ask questions, and collaborate on lesson planning. I hope to improve my own teaching skills and contribute to a happy and productive practicum experience by adapting and implementing successful tactics I learn from her. I will achieve this professional relationship throughout my practicum.
Growth - Throughout my practicum it has been an honour to work with my mentor teacher Ms. Criag. I have learned a great deal of teaching/ personal fundamentals while maintining a professional relationship. Through my classroom review and my classroom support plan assignment aligned with our ICP I worked directly with my mentor in a professinal way to idenifty students, strategies, and goals.
Future Goal - Based on the great experience I had this semester with Ms. Craig I can only hope that for the future I am able to continue to adhre to the TQS and follow the professionalism and responsibilites aligned in my future evaluation.

Goal - To build better relationships with Kindergarten students through the consistent implementation of effective communication and behavioyr management strategies, as demonstrated by observations and feedback from my mentor teacher, as part of my motivation case study assignment.
Strategy - Utilize positive reinforcement and praise to encourage positive behaviour, establish clear and consistent rules and procedures for behaviour management, and employ active listening and effective communication to establish positive relationships with students.
Growth - Completing the motivation case study where I compared a highly motivated student to one who wasn't has helped me gain valuable insights into the factors that drive student motivation and behaviour. Through the study, I have developed effective communication and behaviour management strategies tailored to meet the unique needs of each student. I now have a deeper understanding of student motivation and am confident in my ability to build better relationships with my students to help them achieve their full potential.
Future Goal - My future goal is to continue to develop my communication and behaviour management strategies to better support the academic and personal growth of all my students. I plan to attend professional development workshops and seek feedback from my mentor teacher and colleagues to create a positive and productive learning environment. I am committed to taking on this professional responsibility and helping my students achieve their full potential.

Attached here is my mentor teachers' evaluation for F21 on my professional responsibilities. It was very important to me that I adhered to the outcomes this year while upholding professional and ethical relationships. The outcomes were:
Tailor actions that are guided by a personal perspective of education's overarching goal, and describe how my vision has evolved as a consequence of fresh information, insight, and experience.
Identifies and executes specific practice improvements based on reflection and feedback from Mentor Teacher and Faculty Supervisor.
Collaborates with teachers, students, parents/guardians, and the local community as educational partners to enhance student learning.
I saw myself meeting all of these goals, but last year I wanted to become more open in my understanding and processing skills to meet my professional responsibilities, and this is something I still want to work on.

Throughout the semester I engaged with readings that bettered my understanding of this aspect of teaching. We must be open and honest with our students to establish meaningful relationships. Allowing these established relationships to blossom students have access to a plethora of supports that will enrich their learning for years to come. It is also a teacher's responsibility to continue learning to ensure they are up to date with new information and new technology. I want to become more open in my own comprehension and processing skills and to further build my professional relationships within Mount Royal University and in my community.

Throughout our EDUC 1231 course, we have gone over professional responsibilities many times, whether that be in our weekly class, workshops, or readings, I have started to gain a profound understanding of the professional responsibilities of being a teacher. Teacher professionalism compromises high levels of competence, performance, and conduct in regard to educating students, engaging in professional development, and being an exemplar of the discipline. Bri Harvie's workshop was a big part of learning about professional responsibilities. Professor Harvie talked about how communication is a form of interpretation, and that it is important that everyone involved understands what is happening. She also mentioned the way to not only communicate to others so that they understand but so that we are doing so in a professional matter and understanding who we are talking to, and how we are. When talking to someone, we must also take into account our mannerisms of how we speak to anyone no matter the age. Just as we should when we are complaining. Our professionalism should stay intact, and we should take into account our words, mannerisms, and outlook on the situation.
