REFLECTION LOG FOR SPECIALIST CANDIDATE LEARNING OUTCOMES
DIRECTIONS: For each of your courses in the Specialist Program in Curriculum and Instructionyou are to validate your mastery of the SpecialistCandidate Learning Outcomes by making entries into a learning log and submitting them for approval to the respective professor for the courses you have taken. Your entries are threefold. First, you are to describe insights, new learning, and experiences you have had in the course. Second, you are to describe the impact of these experiences on your growth as an educator and scholar including describing any changes that have taken place as a result of this learning experience. Lastly, you are to outline a plan/goal by which you will take this new insight into the schools to improve your teaching, which in turn improves student learning. This plan/goal should include a method of evaluation toward the goal.
This log is to be kept in print format and should be maintained by the student. It is the student’s responsibility to submit the forms (one for each course) to your advisor upon completion.
You are to make entries for a minimum of two outcomes per course. Each outcome must have at least one entry and some outcomes may have multiple entries. You are to maintain this log throughout the program and turn it in completed to your program advisor. All outcomes must have a minimum of one entry.
