Thank you for coming to my presentation of learning. I am the expert on my own learning. I am also responsible and accountable for my own learning. You can expect me to give an honest evaluation of my progress. We will discuss my strengths and opportunities for growth. Thank you in advance for listening and for offering feedback that I can use to improve as a learner.
This year’s TPoL, I basically changed my motto. In the past couple years, my PoLs were mainly focused on procrastination, but this year, I focused on new horizons. I feel that focusing on issues one at a time really helps me to really improve on myself and my work. This year I focused my attention on leveraging specific feedback on my work when I feel it has the potential to level up my work.
While preparing for this TPoL, I reviewed my learning plan as well as my MPoL to see what I had in mind for improvement at the start and middle of the year, and I think that overall throughout the course of this year, I have mostly achieved my goal.
Where I was
This year began with our learning plan, where I didn’t really set a direction for myself. I then had my MPoL, where I recognized my failure to set myself on a successful path, and I amended my learning play, chose a streamlined method of self improvement, which had a spotlight on ways that I could increase the quality of my work. I felt that throughout my thinking the best solution to help me grow as a person and a learner is to make use of the people around me and ask for feedback when I feel it may benefit me or my work.
Where I’m at
During this year, I do not feel that have achieved 100% of what I wanted from my goal for this year. While I have made efforts to engage with classmates or teachers to bounce ideas off of or to help me hone in my work, I do not believe that it has become a habit yet. What I mean by that, is that I have been utilizing the availability of feedback throughout the year, it has mostly been when I have been feeling kind of lost on an assignment. My goal was not to use feedback to get me back on track when I fall off of it, but to strengthen my work with new perspectives and thought processes.
Where I want to be
Although I got a start on my goal from my MPoL and learning plan, I think that in order to ensure that this improvement happens, I need to take this goal in its current state to the next grade level with me, where I can continue to push myself to implement changes within my everyday life with the objective of making myself and more effective and efficient learner. I think an example of this could have been my recent project on schools. Although I did feel that my final pitch and product were successful, I think I could have had a more holistic pitch if I had taken into account more peoples’ perspectives and what each person considers most important.
Why do you feel you are ready to advance to the next grade level?
I am ready to advance to the next grade level because I have made progress in my self-improvement as a learner. I have focused on leveraging feedback to improve the quality of my work and have made efforts to engage with classmates and teachers for their perspectives and ideas. Although I recognize that I still have room for growth in making feedback a more consistent habit, I am committed to continuing this goal in the next grade level and implementing changes within my everyday life to make myself a more effective and efficient learner. Additionally, I believe that my successful completion of my recent project on schools demonstrates my readiness for the next grade level.
Thank you for coming to my TPoL.
