  approximately 90.1%. Based on these results our class was        then they did on the pre-assessment. All three students earned

                                              planning instruction based on assessment data. Using the pre-assessment data allowed me to

                                              plan to do this by using an assortment of digital materials to customize the information presented..
    instructional challenges                  Doing so will allow me to represent information in a flexible format to better serve all of my students,
                                              including students with learning disabilities, sensory disabilities, English learners, those who are
                                              gifted, and so forth. In addition to representing the material more equitably, digital resources also
                                              allow students to interact with the information and engage in the activities more fluidly. I plan to adjust
                                              text size, use different colors for emphasis, add images, graphs, simulations, and other visual
                                              representations. I also plan to include audio clips, video clips, and immersive readers to assist with
                                              reading and understanding. I also plan to integrate academic language development by providing
                                              ample opportunities for students to use and practice academic language. I will also personalize the
                                              information so that it is socially relevant, ability appropriate, and designed to promote critical thinking,
                                              invite personal response, and include activities that fosters student motivation. I will also allow
                                              students to navigate, respond and connect to the material in a way that is best for them. For example,
                                              in some cases students can record responses rather than write them out, they can use Grammarly or
                                              spell check, they can use text-to-speech software, they can take notes with pencil and paper or
                                              digitally, directly onto the activities, they can choose to use the manipulatives or other built-in
                                              scaffolds (e.g., multiplication charts, graphic organizers, sentence starters, visuals, simulations, etc.).
    For future professional                   In order to expand my skills and abilities I plan to continue to develop professionally. I will do this by
    development                               continuing to explore and learn more about various online resources, by attending virtual seminars
                                              and participating in professional development opportunities. I also plan to work with and collaborate
                                              with colleagues, my mentor teacher, and my PLC. Sharing ideas with experienced teachers will help
                                              me gain valuable insight and knowledge from teachers with more experience than myself. We can
                                              share ideas and I can ask questions about various strategies I hope to implement.
                                              As I continue to work on individualized learning plans, I want to focus on how to best serve all my
    For future inquiry/ILP                    students, with varied skills and abilities. I want to continue to implement varied instructional strategies
                                              and differentiated instruction. I also plan to use assessment data to inform my instruction.
                                              For the next POP cycle I would like to use more virtual manipulatives to develop students
    For next POP cycle                        understanding by using Mathigon. I hope to learn how to integrate the tools on Mathigon into more of
                                              my lessons.
