One thing I can conclude about my professional growth based on the rubric is that my classroom management has improved. I feel that I have been standing my ground firmly when it comes to expectations, but also creating an environment where students feel safe to ask questions and come to me with problems. I also feel that I am still giving clear instructions to my students and repeating them a few times to make sure every student hears and understands them.

When I vary the tone and volume of my voice, students seem to be able to keep their focus for a longer amount of time. Although I still need to work on varying my voice more often, I am trying to more frequently and plan to continue to make learning more interesting by avoid speaking in
