ENGL3035Standards Reflection Narrative

(for Eng Ed. majors -- Chalk & Wire Assessment)

1. Your narrative should address the standards that specifically apply to this class (see below), and it should take the form of a reflection that includes evidence that you have met (or are meeting) these outcomes along with ideas about how you might apply your knowledge in a real-world classroom. Be specific in what you plan to do, use, or adapt, and explain your rationale for doing so based on our course readings and discussions. Your goal here is to write specifically about how various assignments, projects, and experiences have allowed you to meet expectations.

2. The following are some suggested “starters” for this reflection:

What I learned from this class . . .
What I know now. . . .
What I would do differently and why. . .
What I’m confident of. . . .
What I’m not confident of . . . / What I need to work on. . .
How this fits with how I will or will not teach . . .
What else I wish I knew about this. . .
Why I selected this piece of evidence. . .
What I agree/disagree with. . .

3. When complete, your standards narrative for ENGL 3035 (along with supporting evidence and documentation) should be uploaded to the appropriate page in your Chalk & Wire online portfolio. When complete, click “Submit Assessment” at the bottom of theChalk & Wire page and submit your work to the course instructor for assessment.

ENGL 3035: List of Relevant Outcomes

In your narrative, please address the items in the left-hand column below. Write in paragraph form, arguing specifically and with course-based evidence that you have met these standards.Take note of the KSU Unit Proficiencies equivalent in the right-hand column; the Unit Proficiencies reflective assignment in ENED 4414 will ask you to combine your individual course narratives to address the Kennesaw State University PTEU’s specific CPI Outcomes and Proficiencies. This should be a relatively easy task once you have successfully completed a Standards Reflection Narrative for each English Education course.
