Self Reflection

1)   At this point, I would say I'm at an AE/P, but if I were to choose one, I would say I lean more towards the P.  The reason why is because so far, I believe I am doing what is required and a good job at it (as in good quality work and being consistent).

2) The one thing I think I have been doing well is on my research.  So far, I have been receiving good grades (mostly AE's) on my research checks.  I feel that I really work hard to find research that is not just on education or first graders, but on subjects closer to my essential question (which is about teaching methods).  Thus, I have been trying to find reasearch that can help me gain new information towards teaching, to help me improve my knowledge for my Senior Project. 

3)  I would like to improve on the amount of communication I have with the teachers (or communication skills) I work with for my service learning, in order to gain more information that can help me with my Senior Project and in order to gain different perspectives on teaching methods and teaching first graders in general.  I do communicate with them, but I believe that not enough.
