=****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 progressed in this goal and still have a ways to go. Technology allows a much more fluid communication between teachers and some parents. This year I found that email not only helped me communicate classroom issues, but acted as a reminder that I can/should contact parents with the good news as well. While I have not established a class website that is actively maintained, I did use it intermittently throughout the year to post work and samples. A solid class website is something that will take time; it will be a summer project!
