Drew Zailik's Educational Portfolio

Welcome to my Electronic Educational Portfolio!

“I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.” – Henry David Thoreau
 
Welcome! My name is Drew Zailik, and I am currently completing my Teaching Licensure Certification program at The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
 
The purpose of this website is to share my experiences I have gained from Student Teaching.  By navigating through the side-menu, you will find the following:
 
  • William and Mary Student Teaching Competencies
  • Virginia NCTE standards
  • A Secondary-level English Content Master
  • Pedagogical Planning (Lesson Plans, Units)
  • Teaching Skills (Classroom Management, Assessments)
  • Personal Reflections on Teaching
  • Relevance to the INTASC Standards 
 
You will also find some information about me! I will gladly share with you my hobbies and interests, so that you have a better understanding of who I am, and why I chose Teaching as a career.
 
Most importantly though, you will find discover the wondrous experience that has been Student-Teaching for me, where I will share with you the exciting process of my becoming a Teacher. You will discover my passion for literature, teaching, and building a positive and productive learning environment. 
 
I have attempted to interweave my two passions in life, teaching and surfing, into one extended metaphor that displays my love of the two.
 
Enjoy!  Cheers!
