Evaluate 3.1.2

Being an educator requires continuous learning, improvement, introspection, and action.  Working with Ga Virtual, there are many ways for teachers to learn from their practice or to know what is working and what is not working.

Each month, teachers are evaluated by a Quality Assurance Specialist.  I appreciate these evaluations because they keep me focused.  Last November, I got an Evaluation the indicated I needed to be more attentive in the "Discussions" area of my course.

This was a wake-up call for me, and I worked hard to improve in that area.  I was excited to get an "Exceptional" rating in one of my subsequent Evaluations the following January! 

Another aspect of evaluation that teachers have is the end of semester survey given to students. Most often, I feel pleased with the evaluations but there are those semesters in which you are more distracted and students may notice! Below is an ePortfolio post that discusses an End of Course Survey. 

Lastly, Ga Virtual instructors are asked to complete an ePortfolio each year.  In this ePortfolio, we discuss the Professional Learning we participated in, how we differentiated our classroom, some of the best practices we used in our instruction, and how we analyzed Data to improve our students classroom experience.  Below are two additional ePortfolio pages where I look at some ways I differentiated my online classroom and how I use best teaching practices to help students learn.
