Teachers are committed to continuous improvement and professional development.

I regularly receive feedback from administrators and supervisors on my teaching performance in the classroom.  I use this feedback to improve upon and to develop my skills as an educator.  I also collaborate extensively with colleagues in my department and we share ideas on how to improve our instruction.

Here is evidence that I post mastery objectives for each lesson and that I provide students with instruction in a clear and patient manner.

At Watkins Mill, all teachers become a member of one of the many smaller professional learning communities that the school fosters.  I belong to the biology teachers' professional learning community and we meet weekly to discuss instructional strategies and how to teach our content to students.
