Description
My creative analysis will examine how I used portions of my senior portfolio to show my qualities and innovation as a reading teacher. Read180, previously used as an intervention, allows the seventysix students I serve to showcase their abilities through both a phonological awareness and reading inventory exam. These tests factor what each student is capable of completing without additional support. It then breaks down the areas they may need support in and creates a timeline of lessons for students to complete. My goal is to have at least 65% of students improving with a 20% growth rate by May, 2024. Being able to teach students to read on grade level has not only boosted my resume up but also opened the door to self brand what I could do with an English degree in the education world. Utilizing skills such as creative thinking processes, analyzing textual data, and communications allows me to showcase the professional persona my senior portfolio reveals with the work I have done as an innovative reading teacher. Read180 has now become the center of my Language Arts class in order to lessen the gap with students who are two or more grade levels below.
