__** ﻿ Standard 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:

Rationale 1: The research project was tested on a group of 15 students enrolled in a 2 year Culinary Arts Program in a high school. Students were juniors and seniors and were either year one or year two students in the program. The research focused in on improving student success through the use of self video feedback. Through this process I analyzed research done by other professionals in the area of self feedback. My research revealed that feedback in varying different styles helps promote self-efficacy among students, which directly relates to student success. After reviewing this material I determined that I would like to incorporate self video feedback while students perform certain culinary skills. I tested my theory on my current student group and it revealed through data collected that there indeed could be some link proving that self video feedback can improve student success. Through this research I have made further plans to incorporate this technique when teaching other culinary techniques such as knife cuts.

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).

Through my action research I was able to analyze other current professional literature available on the related topic of feedback.

9.S.2 The teacher uses classroom observation, information about students, cultural, social, and philosophical frameworks, and research as sources for evaluating the outcomes of teaching and learning and as a basis for reflecting on and revising practice.

Through my observation and collection of data I was able to evaluate the learning of my students when it came to the task of properly fabricating chickens. The data collected showed a significant link between self video feedback and student success when breaking down chickens.

9.D.4 The teacher is committed to seeking out, developing and continually refining practices that address the individual needs of students.

The addition of self video feedback will be a part of my curriculum planning in the future when it comes to my culinary arts course. I feel that it will enhance what has been done and will help improve teaching and learning in the classroom.
