1. Maintain healthy balance between teaching responsibilities and self-care Reasoning: I am very prone to pushing my personal needs to the side and prioritizing teaching responsibilities, but this ultimately harms my personal mental health and reduces my ability to work on professional obligations. Plan: to meet this goal I intend to give myself more time for self-care and personal needs. Meeting this goal is not as simple as giving myself a certain number of hours a week, but instead involves me prioritizing myself and giving myself permission to take time off. Timeline: This goal is ongoing and will involve working daily, weekly, and over the course of the whole practicum to find balance. Indicators: At the end of each week I will rate myself and my mental health. Certain weeks I may need more time for myself compared to others, and that is okay, but at the end of the week I want to reflect on the past week and see if I have maintained a balance that I consider acceptable. I will record these reflections in my ongoing PSII practicum journal. 2. Create strong closures for all of my lessons Reasoning: In my PSI I often found that my lessons finished with me being able to achieve closure. Plan: To meet this goal I need to do several things. Firstly, if my students are working, I should not be afraid to interrupt them for closure. Secondly, I need to pay more attention to the clock to ensure that I call the class back together with the appropriate amount of time left in the lesson to allow conversation but not too much time that there is wasted space at the end of the lesson. Timeline: This is another ongoing goal that I hope to work on throughout the practicum. Indicators: At the end of each lesson I will reflect on my ability to achieve closure and the effectiveness of my closure in each lesson. 3. Form relationships with students Reasoning: In my PSI I was moving a lot between classes and taught a huge range of students and as a result I felt that I did not form meaningful relationships with a lot of my students. In PSII I have two main classes that I will be teaching, which is a lot less students than I had for PSI and I would like to focus on getting to know these students. Plan: I have already begun to implement strategies to get to know the students. First, on orientation day I had my students complete an interest inventory, which taught me quite a bit about their learning preferences and interests. Going into practicum I have decided to dedicate my entire first day to getting to know my students and letting them get to know me. I also plan to use name tags that I hand out at the start of each class, this will force me to get to know students names a lot quicker. Timeline: I am hoping to know all of my students names by the end of the second week, and fostering relationships throughout practicum. Indicators: Knowing student names is a good indicator that I have put time into learning about students, but it is not a real indicator of the underlying relationships. However, I believe that if I have actively fostered relationships, the indicator will be a tangible change in the classroom environment.
