my day, detailing what went well as well as what needed improvement.

Adolescent Learners and
Diversity, and (4) Teaching
in the Real World.
- Throughout my Master's program, I worked closely
with my cooperating teachers and supervisors and received constant
constructive feedback (see Evaluations). I then implemented suggested improvements into the
classroom.
- I analyzed student assessment results through
Blackboard and by using MS Excel (see
Assessment Analysis).
I then reflected upon needed changes (dropping certain questions,
reviewing with students common mistakes they made, providing for
remediation and study sessions, etc).
