**My Reflection on meeting this standard (So What?)**

 * Engaging my students in authentic, real-world issues is something that I feel very strongly about incorporating in my classroom. Family and Consumer Sciences is a class where everyone should be able to excel, at least in some form. Using the new technologies and resources I have learned will only enhance my ability to help students to achieve their goals in a 21st century work world.**

My Future Learning Goals related to this standard (Now What?)
//I plan to continue to make changes and stay up-to-date on the most current information to help my students. I am currently seeking a program to be incorporated into my Independent Living class to teach students skills like online banking and bill paying.//
