TPE Summary

The thought of standing in front of a classroom and teaching is a frightening one for me.  So when I think about the TPEs, I wonder, "What am I signing up for?"  I hope I will remember to address all the TPEs equally and incorporate them into my teaching.  

TPE D (Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences for Students) which covers TPE 8 and 9 seems the most personal and interesting to me. I look forward to creating curriculum that is designed to make school meaningful and academically enriching for my students.  I hope they will become life long learners which to me begins with the love for learning. 

TPE B (Assessing Student Learning) which covers TPE 2 and 3 is something that will be challenging for me.  I believe assessments are important and want to be intentional about measuring student achievement.  I am most interested in learning what to do with an assessment after it's been given.  I want to be able to address student's needs individually and learn strategies for improving student skills and be able to show growth/data.
