Professional Development
2022-2023
2022-2023
My commitment to enhancing student learning outcomes is the foundation of my dedication to continuous professional development. I continually seek development opportunities to gain new knowledge, skills, and strategies that enhance my teaching and training practice. Through these opportunities, I explore pedagogical approaches, technology integration, and assessment methods to enhance my learner's experiences.
I prioritize implementing newly acquired knowledge and strategies into my teaching practice. After each professional development opportunity, I try to implement one strategy from the session based on the learners, the content, and the class type. I reflect on student feedback and assessment results to ensure that the strategies are effective and meet the learning needs of the students.
