    LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCES:

     Haida Best New Teacher of the Year (2016)


     Haida Most Popular Teacher of the Year (2017)
     Yoga and Meditation Club Teacher Advisor (2020-present)
     Founder and Facilitator of the Liang Feng High School International Department’s
    Professional Learning for Teachers Book Club (2021-present)

    FUTURE GOALS:

    I will develop my leadership in Teaching and Learning

     GOAL: Support student growth in literacy skills through the reading and writing workshop model.
    o RATIONALE:  Reflects the following NCTE Position Statements: Resolution on the
    Essential Roles and Value of Literature in the Curriculum, Statement on Independent
    Reading. Also supported by Urbanski’s research and writing theory based manual Using
    the Workshop Approach in the High School English Classroom (2006) and further supported
    by Snider’s 2016 thesis paper by the same title.
    o OBJECTIVE:
     Short-Term: Develop and implement a semester of reading and writing workshop.
     Long-Term: I want to be able to help other teachers implement effective high school
    reading and writing workshop model. Eventually, I would love to have a library to
    support independent reading and book groups. I would also like to explore how
    emerging technologies can enhance the workshop model.
    o NBPTS: Proposition 3: Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student
    learning.
    o TLMD: Domain 2. Accesses and Uses Research to Improve Practice and Student Learning.
    o TEACHER INQUIRY: I will develop my skills in managing a writing workshop through my
    teacher inquiry.

    I will develop my leadership in Professional Learning:

     GOAL:  Provide opportunities for teacher growth through a teacher book club focused on
    professional learning.
    o RATIONALE: There are many benefits to teacher book clubs, including expanding
    pedagogical knowledge and awareness of research, engaging in reflection on our teaching
    practice, and strengthening professional relationships with colleagues in a safe learning
    community. Although her study is a bit dated and their focus was more on fiction than
    professional research, much of what Kooy describes in her research study, The telling
    stories of novice teachers: Constructing teacher knowledge in book clubs, remains highly
    relevant for novice teachers today. I can also see how the book club context could make
    for an effective and enjoyable mentoring setting as well. The NCTE also advocate
    Professional Learning through Teacher centered Empowerment focused on collaborative
    learning that fosters “collaborative learning,” “participatory professional development,”
    “collaborative knowledge production,” and a “commitment to cultural competency.”
    o OBJECTIVE:
     Short-Term: Begin a study of Visible Learning for Teachers with any colleagues who
    can join this semester. Meet weekly or biweekly to discuss a reading assignment and
    reflective questions about how the research and pedagogy related to our teaching
    experience, as well as how we might make changes in our practice to be more
    effective.
     Long-Term: I intend to read through other books in the Visible Learning Series with
    colleagues of various disciplines. If I can form a group of English teachers, we could
    go through the NCTE Handbook of Research and/or other research-based
    pedagogical texts. I would also love to have a teacher book club discussing fiction
    and poetry like Kooy describes in her article.
    o NBPTS: Proposition 5: Teachers are members of learning communities.
    o TLMD: Domain 3. Promoting Professional Learning for Continuous Improvement.
