This is my second year teaching in a public school, and part of my professional development has been the experience I have acquired and the various Knowledge and skills I have developed along the way to this Master's degree. My Knowledge is based on my failure and error, multiple readings that have helped me effectively manage my teaching model.

 

    During my first year as a teacher, I took approximately ten different workshops for professional development, which I knew and understood and was able to apply in my classroom 5% of the time; in my second year, I retook the same workshop because the most of them are mandatory; were much more effective in terms of application in my classroom but something made the difference: Experience and practice. The experience and having practiced the previous year led me to understand better the information received during my workshops and apply it to my real world.

 

   However, in the summer and so far this year, I have taken lots of training to complete development hours that may have been interesting, but no one has asked: Is this helping students grow? The answer is no because I don't know how to do it, and no one supports me if I use it in my classroom.
