d) Professional Growth Portfolio Goal(s):


3.1 Demonstrates the ability to utilize meaningful, equitable and holistic approaches to
assessment and evaluation I will accomplish this by - Clearly outlining essential
understanding of the lesson so that the students had a roadmap of what they would
need to know by the end of the lesson/unit and by planning assessment to meet the
outcomes of the lesson.
4.3 the capacity to engage in program planning to shape lived curriculum that brings
learner needs, subject matter, and contextual variables together in developmentally
appropriate, culturally responsive and meaningful way. I will do this by asking questions and
eliciting answers from students by having them draw connections from the novel to the
students lives and experiences.

2. Assessment and Evaluation:


(What assessment and/or evaluation strategies do you need to have to ensure you are accountable for students
learning and addressing curriculum outcomes? What formative and summative assessment should you include?
