Progress Potential (Blog 3)

  • Consider one or more of your learning goals and what progress your making toward those goals. 
  • Talk about what changes you've made to your plan as you've moved through the semester so far - what things you may have added or removed.
  • How would you evaluate your own progress in relation to completing the activities you've listed on the plan?
    Many of my learning goals are geared toward getting feedback from and getting to know my mentor teacher better.  I think that this is being done with every conversation I have and have had with her.  She is very personable to me and I really appreciate that.  My last mentor teacher was efficient, but at times, that quality would make her seem closed off for the majority of the conversation.  With my current mentor teacher, there is more of a flowing conversation--which includes more feedback on my progress, etc.
    To be completely honest, it never occurred to me that things on the plan could be added, removed, or edited.  I just figured that the program would want to see the plan they signed without many, if any, alterations.
    I have completed (or will have completed by the end of this week) 7 of 11 activities in my learning plan.  I think this is doing pretty well.  I just hope I get all of the forms in on time without any unexpected surprises!

    I hope your plan and accomplishments are blooming as well!
