Goal Setting --End of Semester

What were the

goals/FEAPS(framed as
wonderings) you worked on this
semester? To which FEAPs do
these goals/challenges apply?
-My FEAPS goal was Continuous
professional improvement. The
effective educator consistently
uses a variety of data
independently, and in
collaboration with colleagues, to
evaluate learning outcomes,
adjust planning and continuously
improve the effectiveness of the
lessons. My FEAPS goal hasnt
changed throughout the semester.

Describe the reason you selected these wonderings.
-I selected this wondering/goal, because I knew its something that
teachers can always work on. I would like to continuously work on
improving my lessons and evaluating learning outcomes, so I can be
more prepared when I start teaching students of my own. I knew
that one way I could evaluate learning outcomes is simply by asking
students how did you get your answer? By asking that question, it
allows me to see what each students thinking process is, whether
the answer is right or wrong. I can find the faults in the lesson that
way and adjust my planning for my lessons to teach the students to
the best of my abilities.
Describe several ways you grew in each of these areas. How do you
know you made progress? Provide specific evidence (refer to
videos, observation notes, student work, photos, field notes, etc.) to
back up these claims of growth.
-I believe I grew in the areas of evaluating learning outcomes,
adjusting planning, and continuously improving the effectiveness of
my lessons. Ive taken a lot of notes throughout my internship as I
observed students during lessons. My notes went into detail about
what each student is struggling with, what they already know, and
how I should work with the students. Also, I evaluated tests and

How did you CT/US support

your growth over the semester?
-My CT supported my growth
over the semester, by writing
lesson evaluations for me after
many lessons that Ive taught.
She wrote down my strengths,
weaknesses, and tips. We
conferenced to evaluate learning
outcomes and determined how I
can improve my lessons, based
on data. My internship
supervisor supported my
growth over the semester, by
giving me tips on how to
improve my lessons. Also, she
gave me examples of how I can
do a connected lesson by
evaluating learning outcomes.
Then, using the learning
outcomes to re-teach certain
areas in my follow-up connected
lesson.

quizzes by writing down each question that each student missed. I
was able to determine what I should work on with each student for
upcoming lessons when I went around checking on students. As you
can see in my pictures, my CT wrote notes about my lessons. In the
beginning of my internship on September 11th, the notes said
comments such as: Tara had wrong order- tip: cruise room to
eyeball kids work half way (or before) through lesson. So, I knew
that I needed to observe the students work more often to make sure
they had the correct order for a problem in math. On the next
picture, it shows my notes from October 8th: Like how you got up
to check work Always assessing! As you can see, I began
assessing work a lot more. Another comment says Tara showed 8
and then took 3 away. How can it be checked? My CT liked that I
worked closer with this student. I made plans in my lessons to work
on specific areas with this student. Then, my CT wrote Might have
lost a few. Make sure you have time to do practice! So, I adjusted
my planning based on learning outcomes from that lesson. The next
day on October 9th, I did another lesson based on the learning
outcomes from the previous day. My CT wrote that she I asked
why, how did you know, how did you get your answer, etc.
throughout the lesson. I used this strategy when I went around to
each student, because I was able to see what their thinking process
was and see where the weaknesses were in the lesson. The very last
picture shows CT notes from October 22nd. It says Liked how you
asked students to explain how they got their answer- very common
core! Again, I used this strategy to evaluate learning outcomes. So,
those are only a few examples of how I worked on my FEAPS goal
throughout my internship.

Where do you go from here?

What are your future goals as
you move toward your final
internship?
-I plan to continue following my
FEAPS goal throughout my final
internship, but also add new
goals. I will probably add the
FEAPS goal of support,
encourage, and provide
immediate and specific feedback
to students to promote student
achievement. I feel like that is
also something that teachers
could always work on. Students
need clear feedback in order to
learn and succeed in school.
