During Inquiry II, I learned: 

My future planning has been greatly impacted by seeing the success of strategic implementation of literacy and teaching techniques with both Ella (Inquiry II) and Ashley (Inquiry I).  Ashley is now a very focused “A” student who seeks help daily, stays after school every other day, and is over 2 weeks ahead of schedule in her curriculum.

I now have a great tool kit of strategies to help support my students and differentiate my instruction with my classes.  I have been using these strategies to help other students, and I see success everywhere!  I know that not every student will have the same results, and that life (parenting, sickness, parole hearings, working, and family issues) will sometimes interrupt the learning process; however, I am very happy with the results I have seen so far.  I look forward to helping as many of my students as possible turn their bad learning habits into effective and supportive habits, increasing their confidence and their GPA!

The practices I have put in place have helped students develop positive habits based on our classroom routines.  I know that I am capable of learning new techniques and implementing them successfully.  Not all students will benefit from all strategies, but my goal is to have a great tool kit to use so that I can differentiate instruction to help customize my students’ unique mathematics education. 

My next steps are to continue the routines I have established for the long run, allowing new and future students to jump into a well-oiled machine without any chaos or question.  This will also allow me to get very comfortable with these strategies, opening up my energy and focus to learn new strategies that will move me from an exploring teacher to an innovating teacher.
