Artifact One (Classroom Observations)

Explanation: By writing weekly classroom observations, I am reflecting on what I've learned from past classes and making improvements as time passes. Not only am I reflecting on what I've seen from myself but, I am also reflecting on what I have seen to be effective teaching strategies from my mentors.  I see these tables as my professional growth as a future teacher. 

Artifact Two (Toolbox Presentation) 

Explanation: Making this presentation required me to think back to what strategies I have learned through the lectures and in person experiences. My toolbox contains 16 smart things for teachers to consider and incorporate into their classroom for the best most efficient ways of running a classroom and communicating with their students.
