 * __Artifacts__**

These artifacts connect to the INTASC standard 9. They are a completed text set with strategies to be used for connections. This text set is a great influence on student's growth and learning, and the complex interactions between them. My second artifact is basically what I have reflected over the past few semesters and where I see myself in the future. This plan of action demonstrates my goals and also my weaknesses. This plan gives me something to continually reflect on once I begin teaching. These artifacts cited allow the student to inquire among a variety of self-assessments and problem solving strategies especially because this text set revolves around conflict resolution. Students can engage in books that interest them and find a love for reading. Within these artifacts are the concepts and principles that relate them to the standard. These artifacts allow the teacher to reflect back and learn to use the correct books required to gain students interests. This will also allow the teacher to see what she works best with.
 * __Reflect__**

This standard is important because it requires the teacher to continually strive to better themselves professionally. Once I become a teacher, I will constantly consult with other teachers in my field. I will attend workshops and conferences that apply to me and my student’s needs. I will evaluate myself by reflecting at the end of each day in a journal. I will also reflect on individual lessons. I think this standard is incredibly important and I will strive to meet it. When a teacher uses lessons that are constructed for individuality, then the teacher can easily work with that student more one on one. This will also allow her to understand the student better and reflect on their abilities more.
