Final Reflection Part 2

             ·         Summary of the survey answers from your colleague

The survey answers from my colleague were that she felt supported and found observing me teach the lessons were the most valuable part. She wishes she could have observed more, but the sub shortage and COVID restrictions made it difficult. Things like explicit instruction of rhyme were something she never knew she had to teach. She also found it interesting that I had research to back up my strategy and not just a blog. She said that she liked that she can apply what she learned. I need to be more authoritative, though, because I do know what I am talking about.

·         What you did well and what you would change in the future.

The feedback I got from my mentor and colleague was that I collaborate well. I can get and apply feedback. I can help others buy into the common goal. I will freely share credit and acknowledge others' strengths. I feel like I communicated well with families. The county health department put one of my students on quarantine during the intervention cycle. I was able to communicate with the family and adapt his plan to meet his needs. I need to work on becoming more assertive and confident in my role. I have a quality knowledge base that others can benefit from.

·         How the process of supporting a colleague with setting literacy goals for students as well as providing research and resources will shape your future practice as a reading/literacy specialist

The process of supporting a colleague with setting literacy goals for students as well as providing research and resources will shape your future practice as a reading specialist by making me aware that not everyone bases their instructional strategies on research. She was genuinely surprised that there was research rhyme instruction. It also reminded me of the importance of sharing quality research and resources, not just something that shows up at the top of the list on google.
