Pedagogical Skill and Attitude "Binder"

Introduction

In the linked pages I have compiled just a sampling of the ways I have met or intend to meet both NCTE/IRA's Standards and Emory's Standards for English Education.  In completing this project, I found it difficult to pick and choose representative samples of my teaching.  While I have chosen texts from a variety of genres and cultural backgrounds, I tend to focus on writings from this century in my sophomore course.  However, I acknowledge that my choices for reading within my technical communications classes are rather limited. I have not yet determined an effective way of expanding their selections so I have not included it as a future practice.  In reflecting on what I teach and how I teach, I believe that I have nearly mastered varying my approaches and catering to students' needs.  I look forward to strengthening my weak areas: teaching vocabulary and grammar, utilizing research to inform my practice, and undertaking action research projects myself.

I have organized my practices into past, current, and future.  Current practices encapsulate only this school year.  Past practices do include projects I have taught this year.  Beneath each practice is a listing of the NCTE/IRA Standards and Emory Standards met.  On the pages with the detailed list of NCTE/IRA Standards and Emory Standards, beneath each standard is a listing of the practices fulfilling that requirement.
