This telefolio contains artifacts that are representative of all of the courses, knowledge, and teaching strategies I gained while continuing my education as a graduate student at Appalachian State University and the application of learned content to my daily work with students, colleagues, and parents.  All listed artifacts are aligned with the North Carolina DPI & NCATE Standards for a Master's Degree in Reading. For partial fulfillment of the Master's Degree in Reading Education at Appalachian State University, under the direction of Dr. Woodrow Trathen, I completed this telefolio to fulfill the requirements for Product of Learning.

“There is no single mold for teaching.

There is no single mold for anything.

A school may try to create one and a state may try to mandate one but the essence of teaching lies within your essential self.

Imagine the essence of Christ and the use of the parable.

Imagine the essence of Socrates and the use of the question.

Imagine the essence of Buddha and the use of meditation.

Teach with the essence within your essential self and the method is there.”

“Children are like butterflies in the wind.

Some can fly higher than others.

But each one flies the best he can.

There’s no need to compare one to the others.

Each one is different.

Each one is special.

Each one is beautiful.”

This quote is in reference to a Native American Circle divided into four parts and beautifully represents the learning process.

“The first part of the Circle represents the dawn and the first step to learning, which is to listen.  The second part of the Circle stands for morning, which is to observe.  The third part of the Circle is the afternoon and it reminds us to remember.  The fourth part of the Circle represents the sunset and the final step to learning, which is to share.”
