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

Reflection: I have added more activities and levels of activities to the class to differentiate instruction. I still think I need more. My classes have so many different levels of learning going on that they will continue to need new activities and ways to learn. I plan to continue trying new things to see what will work best for them. I think it is becoming a stronger suit for me as I research and learn more. I am constantly getting books from the AEA to try and learn new strategies and find out new ideas. I think that is what is really helping me- trying to learn more.
