REFLECTIVE JOURNAL: STRENGTHS-BASED REFLECTION

In this journal, you will reflect on your perceived strengths (for example, teaching and learning, classroom management, or instructional design).

Requirements
In 1–2 pages (excluding attached artifacts), complete the following:

Identify and describe at least three of your main strengths, either personal or professional, as they relate to the field of education.
Analyze how you have developed these strengths throughout your coursework in the M.Ed. program and through your work experience. Support your discussion by identifying and discussing one piece of evidence or artifact from previous coursework that illustrates each strength.
Attach 1–3 pieces of evidence or artifacts from your work environment to demonstrate ongoing personal and professional development with respect to the strengths you identified. Identify the ID and title (for example, EDU599 – Education Capstone) of the courses for which you had produced the assignments.
If for some reason you do not have artifacts, you will need to provide a brief artifact (1–2 pages) exemplifying the importance of this skill in education; this artifact should ideally be something you would produce in the field, such as a short lesson plan, department memo, or training outline. Whatever it is, it must be related to this skill focused on in this reflection. Then, write 1–2 pages reflecting on how these skills are important in the field of education.
