and well-being.

Standard 3

Professional Knowledge:

The health
promoter understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry,

meaningful to the client.

Comments: The tournament was welcomed for all should be The

tournament welcomed all ages still needs to be fixed.Including the collaborative form and indicating the collaborative
effort behind other artifacts is great making your work sample much
stronger.
Comments: In the first sentence you again refer to Personal
knowledge, In my lesson plan I created activities that were specific
and meaningful to the clients which created a learning environment."
This doesnt make sense.
Taylor in your standard alignment you need to address three things:
1. 1. Which standard are you aligning to you did this
2. Why did you select this standard to align to - here you talk about
creating a learning environment this standard is about professional
knowledge
3. How did you get better at understanding central concepts, tools of

Instead you are just giving a summary of what your seminar plan
covers. Be meaningful and specific in the three questions and then
STOP!
Significant improvement made!

Standard 4

Diverse Learners: The health promoter

understands how clients differ in their approaches to learning
and creates a variety of education/training methods that are
adapted to diverse learners.

Work Sample is more appropriate however if it were me, I would

highlight the variety of methods to make sure the reader doesnt miss
them.

Standard 5

Reflection- I enjoy working with older individuals because it is

difficult to teach when they get easily distracted and sometime tend to
get of topic. Who is they? Give examples of the modifications you
made. This isnt clear in your reflection or in your session plan.

Taylor, I strongly encourage you to spend a portion of your summer improving the grammar/mechanics of your
written work within your portfolio. A lot of good thinking is minimally proficient because of poor writing. I too am
not a great writer, but winning that battle is about taking the time and making an additional effort to address the
short coming. Lisa
