The artifact, plan of action, addresses the areas of teaching that I feel comfortable in, the areas that I am making progress, and the areas I am not quite ready for. In stating the items that I am not quite ready for, I listed quite a few options that I could do to better prepare myself for those areas. By completeing this artifact, it shows that I am ready to take the necessary steps to become a well-rounded teacher. The artifact, Love and Logic professional development course, demonstrates my constant search of new and fresh professional resources to better prepare myself as I begin my teaching career.

The artifacts, plan of action and Love and Logic professional development course, prove that I will never stop learning how to become a better professional. Even if I think there is nothing more to learn about teaching, something new will show face and I will learn all that I can about that subject. The type of teacher I am becoming goes in conjuction with the type of learner I am. I am becoming the kind of teacher who beileves knowlege is power. Without knowledge one has no strength. When it comes to being a well-rounded professional, one must research to gain the appropriate knowledge needed. I am becoming the kind of teacher who believes one must do continuous research to obtain the ultimate goal of being an effective teacher/professional.
