I tend to be a rather forgetful person, despite my best efforts. When it comes to matters of the house and family management, I can recall finite details with near perfect clarity, much to my husband's chagrin. When it comes to all other life obligations however -- appointments, oil changes, bills, birthdays, and even homework -- I tend to have vital information slip my mind. Having a resource notebook available for all categories of classes I have taken, especially one for instrumental instruction (the area in which I have the least confidence), would be vital to my teaching career. I think that it would help me in the following ways:
1. The Resource Notebook would, first and foremost, provide me with a resource, in which I will be able to quickly find lesson plans, teaching strategies, and other tips/techniques to help me when I am teaching.
2. As is alluded to above, the Resource Notebook will also serve as a sort of portfolio, keeping not only my notes from class, but also the assignments I feel best showcase my ability to teach.
3. Finally, the Resource Notebook will help me to see how I have grown as a student/teacher, allowing me to look back, evaluate my work, take into account my current situation, and understand where I can grow as a teacher.

Almost got all three (I am still going to give you full credit). The third thing that we discussed is that the resource notebook is a collection of professional documents that provide evidence of your professional work--these could be used to acquire a position, or as real-world materials when you get into the field.
