**9. Teachers are able to evaluate themselves.**
 * The teacher is a reflective practitioner who continually evaluates the effects of his or her choices and actions on pupils, parents, professionals in the learning community and others and who actively seeks out opportunities to grow professionally.**

Evidence 1: Action Research Project



Rationale 1: I examined the affect of online games on foreign language vocabulary acquisition in my research paper. My assessments included objective quizzes as well as student surveys. I also had to communicate with the parents of the students involved in the study as well as my building principal. I learned a lot from this project and intend to share some of the findings with my colleagues.

9.K.3 The teacher is aware of major areas of research on teaching and other resources for professional learning (e.g. professional literature, colleagues, professional associations, professional development activities).

I used professional journals in the literature review. I am also a member of the Wisconsin Association of Foreign Language Teachers.

9.S.3 The teacher seeks out professional literature, and other resources to support his/her own development as a learner and a teacher.

I receive and read the quarterly newsletter from the Wisconsin Association of Foreign Language Teachers. I also follow leaders in education on Twitter and receive online newsletters from a variety of organizations.

9.D.2 The teacher is committed to reflection, assessment, and learning as an ongoing process.

The action research project required a great deal of reflection and assessment but this is also something that I do on a more informal basis daily. It is important to constantly evaluate the needs and abilities of our students and adjust our lesson plans accordingly.
