I will take the action of reaching out to colleagues for advice on parent/family involvement and communication. I will also look into professional development resources to aid in this endeavor. I can assess this goal through parent/guardian questionnaires pre and post-unit plans and comparing scores.

I recently started keeping a journal of all my "wins" or sweet moments that happen in my teaching career and this is a positive resource to have on tough days and will help me remain resilient in the face of difficulty.

I have identified the goal of improving parent and family communication and involvement in the classroom. With virtual teaching, this year and having 600+ students to asses there was a miscommunication on my part that I want to improve on. This year was a great chance to allow families into the conversation about physical fitness and health and in hindsight, I should have encouraged more family involvement in lessons.
