Assess Student Progress || Question 3- Manage IEP and Administrative Tasks || Question 4- Communicates with Parents and Guardians || Question 5- Advance Professional Knowledge || Areas that I need to work on are 1: Communicate with Parents and Guardians and 2: Assess Student Progress. I am going to develop a plan to improve my communication with parents. I have a website through my school, but I use it mostly for school related lesson plans and information. There isn’t an interactive component to it. My e-mail address is there, but not too many parents use it. At this point I usually just send a newsletter home about twice a year. With the whole “going green” that we are trying to address, this is probably a waste of paper because I would guess that only about 30% – 40% of the paper newsletters are read. I also need to develop a plan to improve the way I assess students. As a library teacher, I do not grade them. But, I do need to know if they have understood the lesson or gotten anything out of the story or whatever. So, using some software or freeware, I will come up with some way of assess them either individually or as a whole group or both. Up until now, I have done assessment in a casual way; mostly verbal, sometimes through activities or actions. But nothing gets recorded, it is all visual.
