In addition to these, I have also committed myself to strengthening my areas of weakness and gaining more knowledge on areas outside of my major. I have come to appreciate the importance of both literacy and numeracy throughout the early elementary curriculum, but I did not have a large body of knowledge regarding this. I took a course through the Calgary Regional Consortium for Professional Development that focused on the Literacy and Numeracy Progressions.

During my PS2, my TA sent me this Thinking Strategies Placemat to help with planning. I have used this resource throughout the practicum, and in other classes. This is a resource that has helped me to put higher level thinking into each and ever lesson, no matter what grade level I am teaching. See this link for the full website.
