Final Comments:
All of the required material for this portfolio assessment can be found in the Home, Practice, Game Day, and Postseason pages. The Team page is
dedicated to the other aspects of Alverno that has helped to shape who I am as a person and as an educator. Overall, I think that I did well at choosing
evidence to support who I am as a teacher. Im still learning how to connect theory to my lesson plans or how to state evidence clearly but I did well in
my opinion. It was nice to see how far Ive come!
