As I reflect on the past two years, I find my heart full of gratitude. Two years ago, I did not know the people in the above picture, with the exception of Paula and Robert. I am amazed at the growth of every one of these teachers. I have observed their expertise as they work with students each and every day. I can only hope that I have taught them as much as they have taught me.
Personally, I, too, have grown tremendously. One of the areas I feel I have grown the most is in my coaching. My expertise is technology; however, this doesn't always mean that I can easily transfer my knowledge to others. As I've participated in eMINTS, this transfer has become a bit easier. I have also realized how much I have grown in preparing and delivering professional development. I have enjoyed blending both the Canyons Instructional Priorities and the eMINTS Instructional Model, as well as learn strategies for teaching adult learners. Finally, I have observed that these same skills have been beneficial in the other responsibilities as an Education Technology coach. Although this portfolio has taken time to complete, I appreciate the opportunity to reflect on my strengths and growth over the past two years.
