I really enjoyed reading and thinking about the role of a teacher this week. It really had me pondering about all the different things I am striving to accomplish every day of every week - year after year. Just to name a few...
- Meeting the needs of individual students
- Assessing understandings and misunderstandings
- Meeting state/district standards for my curriculum
- Designing learning experiences
- Keeping students actively engaged
- Using formative assessments to guide my instruction
- Assessing the overall outcomes of my teaching
