= ​Reflective Summary of MSEd at UNE =

As I look back over the course of the past five years I cannot believe that this journey is coming to an end. At times I felt as though I wasn't sure how I would get through it, managing a job, family, and two very active children. With the support of my family I have arrived at this place and it feels as though time truly did fly. I have gained more knowledge, confidence and friendships than I could have ever hoped for. Academically the two things that I am probably most proud of are my ability to incorporate technology both in the classroom and encouraging/supporting my colleagues in incorporating technology into their own classrooms. Creating power point presentations, a portfolio, utilizing an ELMO and Smart Board have helped be to better differentiate my instruction and meet the needs of all learners in my classroom community. I also am very proud of the Action Research Project that I completed over this past winter. The knowledge that I gained from this experience has provided me with the necessary tools to address an area of concern, critically examine it, create a plan and put the plan in place to best meet the needs of my students. As a direct result of my Action Research I am beginning to explore the possibility of enrolling in UNE’s Certificate of Advance Study program in Literacy. As a life long learner myself I look forward to the opportunity to continue my education to better meet the needs of my students.
