It is staggering to reflect on what I have learned and created over the past year in the ADL program. I was a good teacher before the program, and I will be a good teacher after I complete the program, but my room for growth and transformation is now boundless. I have learned strategies for influencing colleagues, methods for higher, deeper learning, and technical skills for education purposes. But the most important thing I have learned in this program is how to create significant learning environments that provide my students with choice, ownership and voice through authentic learning experiences. 

​

There are countless ways to achieve a significant learning environment, but at its core, the environment must be built upon relationships and forming connections to create meaningful learning experiences. In the following pages, I have reflected upon my progress with my innovation project as well as my continued understanding of how to implement CSLE+COVA in my classroom. Even though I have completed my master’s degree, the learning journey has just started. I have yet to implement my blended learning innovation project, and I am already dreaming of how to guide my students through the process of creating their own ePortfolio. Transformation is never without struggle, but I am confident that I have the mindset, knowledge and skills to persevere and build a classroom where students can be the masters of their learning.
