Part 3: What you would do differently / Improvement goals For this part of the reflection regarding what I would do differently and on my improvement goals, I have decided to write about how I could improve on “Establishing and maintaining expectations for student participation”.

parental involvement, but these solutions usually focus on a school wide plan. The problem is these plans may or may not work. Teachers often feel great distress in developing solutions that truly affect change when it comes to parental involvement. Several articles on parental involvement note many advantages of parents being involved in their child’s education.
