How has this process impacted your teaching? “ I’m constantly focused on what’s important when I’m learning or teaching.” “Because of this experience, I have the enthusiasm of a new teacher, with the experience of an old one !!” There is not a day that goes by that I don't reflect on my teaching and the impact it has had on the students.

  23. How has this process impacted your teaching? “I am more reflective and purposeful in my teaching. “This process has helped me keep focused on student learning.” “I think more about what I do and why.”  I know that it has made me much more creative in my lessons.  I think about everything I do.”
