As teachers, we are always looking for the next step, the next goal to achieve. We love learning and discovering new ideas to share with our students and our colleagues. The following three essays on the next pages of this portfolio are reflections on my goals as a teacher of English and Technology, my future goals as an educator, and a comprehensive essay that showcases my learning throughout my entire master's program. I have many plans to further my own learning and I always strive to be the best teacher I can for my students. I hope these essays encourage you to think of your next step in your career. Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
