link to the .pdf file

What it is:
      This artifact is a reflection paper I prepared for EDU 545 Curriculum Development and Evaluation comparing the geometry curriculum I taught in kindergarten with the national standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

What it demonstrates:
      This artifact demonstrates my ability to compare my curriculum with the national standards.  It demonstrates my awareness of curriculum gaps and the importance of developing a unifying curriculum.

How it benefits students PK-14:
      This artifact has most obviously benefited the restructuring of the kindergarten curriculum at our school.  But further than that, the skills I have honed and developed in working with the national standards will benefit any students I have in the future at any level I teach with my Pre-k-3 certification.
