I assess student learning and growth through a combination of methods:

1. Formative assessments: Regular quizzes, class participation, and discussions to gauge ongoing understanding.
   
2. Summative assessments: Tests, projects, or assignments that evaluate overall knowledge after a unit or topic.

3. Observations:  Tracking student engagement, behaviour, and progress during activities or lessons.

4. Self-assessments: Encouraging students to reflect on their own learning and identify areas for improvement.

5. Feedback: Providing timely, constructive feedback to guide improvement and understanding.

I motivate my students by
1. Creating a supportive environment
 2. Setting clear, achievable goals
3.Incorporating interactive activities
4. Personalizing lessons
5.Providing positive reinforcement

By keeping learning fun, meaningful, and encouraging, students stay motivated and committed.

My personal goals include continuously improving my teaching skills, staying updated on educational trends, and enhancing my ability to connect with and inspire students. I aim to cultivate a positive learning environment, grow professionally through ongoing education and development, and work on achieving a balanced and fulfilling career. Additionally, I strive to contribute positively to my community and nurture my personal well-being.
