It requires making changes in practice based on feedback from experienced teachers. Each standard must be addressed by each observer at least once. Effective teaching requires you to reflect on your teaching, focusing on what you have learned from your students, your colleagues, and yourself and then designing a plan for professional development that will enable you to grow professionally. Establish some preliminary plans for continued professional development, identifying resources, including those from professional organizations, or that will help you implement your plans. A commentary on which you reflect upon the work presented in this portfolio and conduct a self evaluation with respect to the Beginning Teacher Standards, identifying strengths and weaknesses.
