1. Describe (information gathering): What is the artifact? When and where was this
artifact collected? For this artifact, you should describe student characteristics within the
classroom (ethnicity, social class, language variation, students with identified special
needs) as well as the school setting.
2. Analyze (alignment): How does this artifact relate to Standard Four: Planning?
3. Appraise (evaluation): How does this artifact demonstrate your personal and
professional growth? How does this artifact demonstrate your impact on student
learning?
4. Transform (goal-setting): Based on your answers to the first three reflection steps, are
