=**Step 1: For standard two, select the indicator that is your strongest suit for the standard and give two examples (artifacts) of why you selected it as your strongest suit.**= Indicator selected: a Artifact 1: I try to incorporate as much technology as I can because the students get fired up about using it and are easily motivated to do the work. As mentioned previously, I have done web quests with the students, as well as having them use Timeliner for a biography project.

Artifact 2: I have had the students use digital cameras to capture images that they can use for certain projects throughout the year. They enjoy using images of their own as well as looking for images and information on the internet.

=**Step 2: For standard two, select the indicator that is your "least strongest" suit for the standard and write a professional goal of how you are going to increase your competency with the goal this year.**= Indicator selected: C Goal: I want to be better at differentiating instruction among my students. I need to take more time to personalize some projects so as each student will get the same out of it. I need to be more aware of the diversity of learners in my classroom so that I can meet the needs of all students. I will try to do this by getting to know my students better to find out what gets them excited about learning and then use that as fuel to get them motivated.

=Step 3: On the final TCL day, reflect on each standard and goal you set for yourself. How did you do and why?=
