EDLD 5333 - Action Planning and Professional Growth


I learned how to use better processes for analyzing information for school needs and putting that information to good use in order to help the school main gains in areas of weakness.  I believe I have have a better understanding of how to use that knowledge for creating powerful professional development activities for teachers so that they can better help our students.  It was really great to use actual school information I felt like I really had to do justice for the students of Archer City HS.  I was somewhat concerned that I would not be able to meet the task because their weakness of mathematics is also my weakness.  However, I was able to find great research and I really connected with the things that Dr. Wu had to say about real world mathematics and the ways that mathematicians can help K-12 educators. (Wu, 2006)  I feel confident now in my ability to tackle any issue with any subject and my next steps will be to continuously analyze data for improvement in all areas.
