Reflection
As a first year student teacher teaching in the Santa Ana Unified School District, I have
committed to evaluating my overall teaching performance and reflect on my experiences in my
journey to receiving my single-subject preliminary credential in physical education. This year as
a student teacher I have developed many valuable strategies to becoming a more qualified P.E.
teacher. These strategies include:
 The significance of working with school support personnel, administration, counselors,
and student success teams, in an effort to improve my teaching practices.
 Recognizing certain areas where professional growth and development is needed in order
to improve my effectiveness as a teacher.
 Fostering an inclusive and positive learning environment for all students.
 Effectively utilizing professional feedback to examine student behaviors; making
necessary modifications and accommodations, differentiating instruction and assessments
that help support students individual learning needs.
As I look forward, I see a great opportunity for more growth and development from both a
personal and professional standpoint.
Looking Forward – Year 2
In the second year of my professional development, my plan is to continue working
towards the completion of my induction program and to have my teaching credential cleared. I
believe the induction program will be very resourceful and a significant learning experience for
me as a teacher. Also, I plan to continue learning about my community, available resources, as
well as other professional developmental programs that new teachers have access to.

In year three of my professional development, my plan is to become a member of
professional organizations for physical education teachers, such as The National Association of
Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) and The American Alliance for Health, Physical
Education, Recreation and Dance as soon as possible (AAHPERD). These two organizations are
great resources for physical educations teachers and will improve my knowledge and enhance
my professional practice which will allow me to provide better instruction for my students. My
primary goal in year three is to continue to grow and develop as a teacher by attending
workshops, conferences, and taking additional courses so I can expand my experience as well as
learning beyond my classroom.
In year four of my professional develop, my plan is to continue attending teacher
workshops and conferences, and seminars in an effort to learn more about supporting students
with diverse needs. I plan to attend programs and training for English Language Learners for the
purpose of creating more successful learning environment for my EL students by applying
necessary teaching strategies and making other necessary modifications and accommodations. In
order for me to accomplish this, I need to develop a broader understanding of the different
English Language Development (ELD) standards and classifications as well as other resources
and support factors.
I have the utmost respect and admiration for some people in education that have moved
into administrator/leadership roles in the education community. At the end of my fifth, my plan
5
is to begin focusing on a leadership role in education. My goal is to become the physical
education department chair and implement instructional programs that adhere to the districts
goals and meet the diverse needs and student interests.
