Self-Development+Plan

==**//__Plans for Future Classroom:__//** After this semester and the new knowledge that I have accumulated from my two classes, I have come to the conclusion that I must create a plan to help me achieve my goals for my future classroom. I want to create a positive, safe environment for all learners so they can learn to the best of their ability. This page will help me "see" my goals, links to supplement my goals, and resources to help further my goals.==


 * __Goals:__**
 * I will get to know all students and their background so I can integrate different cultures into the classroom and lessons.
 * I will provide a positive, safe learning environment.
 * I will use a variety of techniques and strategies to engage all learners (utilizing ESL strategies and other teaching strategies).
 * I will continually look for new techniques and strategies.
 * I will seek help when needed and listen to constructive feedback.

__**Links:**__ Each of these links that I chose will help me by providing several activities in the classroom and for home use. Some can be independent centers and some I can incorporate into effective lessons for units and content. Most have to do with reading and writing, but those two areas are cross curriculum so that they can get good use in any subject.
