review of self contract

-my vision was to create a teaching environment were individuality, choice, expression, and creativity is welcomed and valued.

-my goal was to learn strategies and gain hands on experience, so in the future my vision could be effectively executed.

I defiantly have gained valuable knowledge to further my goal when learning about social cultural perspective, personality types, and multiple intelligence.

Socio-cultural perspective has taught me the importance of social interaction. Working one-one with the student or students working together is a strong tool in developing expression, creativity, and personal growth.

Learning about all the personality types, as well as my own I must admit frightened me. First, I felt "oh no how am I going to implement all these different styles of learning into my classroom so everyone is satisfied?" Second,"oh no my personality type, INFJ, is so ridged, how will I be able to loosen up, be fun, and flexible?" After I realized, what is important, is knowing I have the basic understanding and knowledge of the different personalities and will try my best to accommodate my students needs as well as my own, to create a productive learning environment.

Multi-intelligence taught me that, "oh no, on top of all the personalty types, their are so many intelligence types".

It is a bit overwhelming, but again it all helps me gain some perspective and understanding so when I develop and use strategies to establish my vision, I will keep everything I learned in mind.
