Did I achieve this week's proximal goal?

This week my goal was to complete the outline of my website to include the definition of dyslexia and 10 research-based strategies for students with dyslexia. I was able to achieve this proximal goal. I have decided to organize my website into five pages.

  1. DefinitionDyslexialxia
  2. Signs and Identification
  3. Teaching Strategies
  4. Classroom Environment
  5. Assistive Technology

What were my challenges?

Time continued to be a challenge this week. After finished report cards comments last week, this week I had parent-teacher conferences and began coaching cheerleading after school Tuesday-Friday. These added responsibilities made it more challenging to stay on target to reach my proximal goals. In order to stay on target to reach my proximal goals, I ended up completing a large amount of work on the weekend rather than distributing it evenly across the week. When working this weekend I found it helpful to create a checklist.


How do I need to revise my planning based on what I know now?

Next week, I plan to set aside at least one hour each evening to work on my project in order to more evenly distribute the work across the week. I have all my resources identified now, I just need to work to input the information to my website. I plan to finish my website so I can share it with a few colleagues at my school on November 12 to get feedback.

Did I achieve this week's proximal goal? This week my goal was to identify ten research-based strategies for working with students with Dyslexia and to complete the outline for my website. This week I was able to successfully identify ten resources for my website. As I did my research I continued to work to ensure that the strategies and research I used the strategy of asking myself, "How will this help teacher's?" I found that asking this question allowed me to more easily refine my research. As I completed research this week, one area I spent more time researching was the use of assistive technology to help students with Dyslexia. One tool I found particularly interesting was a Chrome extension called Announcify. Unfortunately, I was not able to complete the outline for my website this week. I plan to complete this Monday and Tuesday this week in order to maintain appropriate progress to reach my next proximal goal.  What were my challenges? ...

Did I achieve this week’s proximal goal? This week my goal was to finish my website and share the completed website with teachers at my school. I wanted to receive feedback about the readability and usefulness of the website. Praise: I found it very visual and informative. It was a place where you can find information about not only what dyslexia is, but how to understand it and many approaches to teach and help students/children learn. I especially like the short videos of information that shared teaching strategies and student voice to their approaches to learning.  There is a lot of great information on here that is easy to access and navigate.I really love how you included videos of what certain teaching strategies look and sound like. Your site looks great.  It's clean and easy to read.  I like how the content is listed in bullet points.  For busy teachers, this is a perfect way to get information quickly and easily.   This looks awesom...
