It was a very beneficial and informative course. Some of the ideas and principles, I have been able to relate to the students I am teaching.

Infusing Culture into Counselling
Learning about how culture relates to counselling was very interesting. I learned that one's cultural identity impacts everything they do. I have been able to connect this idea to interacting with people on a daily basis, with students, colleagues, and friends.

Child and Adolescent Counselling from Developmental Perspectives
As an elective course, I chose this course because it related directly to my past experiences as a teacher and the future that I hope to pursue in counselling. It was a very beneficial and informative course. Some of the ideas and principles, I have been able to relate to the students I am teaching.
Assessment Processes
Because of the nature of the topic of this course, it was very challenging. I struggled with some of the statistics related to doing assessments in counselling. I felt that I learned a great deal about using assessments in the counselling process as they can be one great tool for learning about clients.
Infusing Culture into Counselling
Learning about how culture relates to counselling was very interesting. I learned that one's cultural identity impacts everything they do. I have been able to connect this idea to interacting with people on a daily basis, with students, colleagues, and friends.
Future Courses
Due to a variety of events happening in my personal life, I decided to postpone completing one of my courses from the summer semester to the fall semester. In order to maintain balance in my life, I realized that I would not be able to give an appropriate amount of time and attention to the course as well as the other things happening. I look forward to continuing my course work in September and into the following two years. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about the course material and I am eager to start putting it into practice!

GOAL #3
Goal Statement:

In each unit, students will participate in two formative assessment activities, that includes learning outcomes and rubrics
Timeline: to be completed by the end of the school year.
Reflect on goal accomplishment
I feel that I was able to meet Goal #1 by slowing adjusting assessments and providing feedback so they are based on the standards and benchmarks. I have attempted to do this at least twice in each unit. I think I have come close to that with doing it most units.
GOAL #2
Goal Statement:
Portfolio in basketball to reflect on learning specific skills and activities
Timeline: end of the school year.
Reflect on goal accomplishment
Goal #2 has been somewhat easy to do as I have had many opportunities to try new and different methods in my classes. Because this is something I have been working on for the past several years, as I try a new idea, it becomes easier to organize and accomplish. I have been able to find many great ideas online, through subscribing to Facebook pages, following others on Twitter, or just through general browsing.

GOAL #3
Apr-Jul:
4. Professional Ethics
Reflect on goal accomplishment
Goal #3 was much more challenging to complete, especially in the past few months. I did manage to complete 3 out of the 4 courses I intended. But I will not finish the 4th course until next year, as I am just too busy with other things. I found that I was able to be very strict with my time management but I still wasn’t always able to fit in everything I wanted to. Since I have just completed two courses, I look forward to having more free time for exercise and other things now.
