I think my biggest area of growth has been in adapting my lesson planning, classroom management and communication to more fully address my students' needs. CSTP 1.6 invites the teacher to monitor student learning and adjust instruction while teaching. A lesson that I developed three years ago worked well for a 2nd grade class but the following year proved difficult to implement in the classroom. By paying close attention to the students' behavior, talking with their classroom teachers and collaborating with my colleagues, I was able to engage that class in creating music with bell kits by the end of the year. It was a great example of student success and a positive sign that I can adapt to and learn from my kiddos!
