Domain D Reflection

Fulfilling professional responsibilities is something that I have worked on since the start of my student teaching experience. Once I started taking over more and more responsibilities in the classroom, evidence of professionalism was more easily obtained. I was able to present at the NSTA conference, attend the Dean's Dinner and present at the inquiry conference. These all demonstrate my eagerness to grow professionally. Also, I had additional evidence to add to this category once I started getting more feedback and constructive criticism from my PDA. I will be working towards developing this domain further as my professional career continues. Also, as I attend national conferences and present at the PDS inquiry conference I hope that my professional and integrity as a teacher will be more apparent.
