Learner

Analysis of Pretest Results: My highest score in the pretest was a 14 in Standard 2.7: Analyst; this score means "above par," which means that this is one of my strengths. My lowest score was a 9 in both Standard 2.1: Learner and Standard 2.3. Citizen, this means that I need improvement in both of these areas.

Professional Learning Goal(s): My goal is to gain more proficiency and understanding in Standard 2.1: Learner and Standard 2.3: Citizen, as well as the ability to practice them to gain a better comprehension of these areas.

Setting this professional learning goal aligns with ISTE Standards 2.1 and 2.3 because, as a future educator, I must learn from and with others, investigate effective and promising practices to enhance student learning, and motivate students to responsibly engage in and positively contribute to the digital world.
