“Thank you for coming to my presentation of learning. I am the expert on my own learning. I am also responsible and accountable for my own learning. You can expect me to give an honest evaluation of my progress. We will discuss my strengths and opportunities for growth. Thank you in advance for listening and for offering feedback that I can use to improve as a learner.”
This year Has been a very interesting time it feels like we have done so much in what feels in such little time. I set goals for my self at the start of the year, mid way though the year at mpols I feel like I haven’t meet the goals I set for my self. This year we did a self reflection on agency and different behaviours see if you notice any growth that we have had thought out the year.
The Agency is am choosing to reflect on is my ownership and responsibility. I feel like i have grown on this more than anything this year, at the start of the year I would try to blame what ever i could when I couldn’t get something in, and I realized that doesn’t help me go anywhere. It is truly much better to just take the responsibility and what comes a head.
The two behaviours that I best relate to me this year would be, Reflection and Balance
I chose these behaviours because they very related to the goals I made earlier in the year. For balance I wanted to work balancing my time better and I feel that got a lot better at it from the start of the year but not what i wanted to be at. I think that I just need to get rid of some bad habits and my time management would improve. For Reflection I wasn’t very good at grading and reporting my own work, my head goes blank when I try to think about my own things. I think I need to just write out all my thoughts and change it up after.
We had our spring exhibition very recently were we made comics based on the different battles that the Canadian military involved during WW1. For this project I chose to do the battle of Festubert. During this project I didn’t use my time very well and procrastinated till I had the pressure to do it. I think to help me fix this i need to set much more strict times for work and really push my self to focus.
Going back to my learning portfolio and the goals I made on some of the behaviours I see that I mention staying focused during class and getting less distracted, I feel that my skills at staying focused during class have improved a lot and I barely get distracted anymore. I also noticed that my goals from the start of the year still are very similar to the goals i have now.’
The driving question for our tpols is “How can you showcase evidence to demonstrate that PLP Success Behaviours have prepared you to advance to the next grade?
My answer to the driving question, is that i am going to setup way more alarms and times to do my work, I know what I need to fix in my habits and i just have to use what i know and make a change. As well as comparing the success behaviours to my work and actions though out the year.
Thank you for listening to my tPOL
