After the vision statement was written by faulty and staff members it was then approved by the school improvement council, which is made up of community stakeholders. Each school is required to develop a school improvement plan based around the school’s vision. The faculty then looked at the school data and identified gaps were improvements were needed to reach the vision. Then three smart goals were created that would allow the school to make progress in meeting the school’s vision. Garrett goals were to increase overall EOC pass rate in all testing by at least 5%, ensure that the 2014-2015 Graduation Rate meets or exceeds the CCSD Standard and our CTE Completer Rate is 95% and ensure student personal growth in preparation for the real world by effectively using the Student Support Time/Advisory period. All three of the goals will help the school make adequate progress towards achieving the vision of making all graduates college and career ready. Two of the three goals are measurable but the last goal is somewhat subjective in identifying rather or not it was met. At the start of each school year these goals are evaluated on the data. If the goal has been meet the stakeholders then create a new goal to continue moving forward.

Charyna pena fortuna “A teacher is a compass that activates the magnets of curiosity, knowledge, and wisdom in the pupils.” -Ever Garrison This week was great, yesterday I create an amazing activity to introduce classroom object in Spanish. My students were extra engaged during this lesson. Some of them never use Quitzel live before so it was a new experience for them. I think it is a great idea as a new teacher to do reflection after you teach the class. I have had the opportunity to reflect on my strengths and weakness as a teacher and a learner. I think that I need to learn how to incorporate a multitude of learning styles and interests into a lesson. On a personal level, I have been able to reflect on my experiences and learn so much more
My first observation experience was eye-opening. Upon my arrival to Providence Catholic High School, I only had basic knowledge about what it took to be an effective teacher.

As we review and synthesize data of a district for planning school improvement, the following information is needed to access and determine the needs of a school. First, a thorough analysis of performance data must be reviewed to see how school districts measure up with state and federal accountability. During this process, it is very important that schools focus the performance indicators that will guarantee growth and success. School teams must refer to the districts mission and vision to guide the planning process. The performance indicators will provide data that will be beneficial in creating improvement strategies. So, after careful evaluation of the data, the next step would be to plan effective methods and strategies that will improve student achievement. Moreover, this plan should include needs, demographics and opportunities for students to be successful. Additionally, the baseline data is important information to include in the improvement plan.
Teaching is a profession that is considered to be a rewarding challenging and complex role. An effective teacher does not simply teach knowledge their students and instead aims to arm students with the knowledge, skills, understanding and attitudes that will prepare students for life-long learning. The constructivist theories developed by Piaget and Vygotsky have impacted on the way that teachers teach and this has changed the approach of teaching to place a greater importance on the teacher instead to act as a facilitator of learning in an open, constructivist environment and providing students with the tools to challenge themselves to develop both academically and personally. The education of students within classrooms of today is
