"Reflect to Refine"
REFLECTION (from an article on Edutopia by Amanda Reardon, "3 R's for First Year Teachers: relationships, reflection, resilience"
Teachers are constantly asked to reflect. What went well? What didn’t go well? But that reflection so often stops right there. Instead, new teachers must reflect with a purpose. “Reflect to refine” is an approach that helps teachers use reflection as a systematic tool to improve their practice. Reflect to refine asks teachers to think about the work they’ve already done and keep future modifications in mind. Instead of asking yourself what didn’t go well, ask yourself, “How can I make this better?”
#1 due 9/5 : Describe challenges and celebrations from your first weeks with your students. What surprised you? What was unexpected? What did you discover was important to let students know? When you have your own classroom how will you get to know your students those first days of school?
#2 due 10/2: Who is actively participating in your classes? Describe how that looks and sounds. Who is not participating? Your thoughts on why the lack of participation. What are ways to increase ALL student engagement?
#3 due 10/30: Round Robin interview reflection:
#4 due by midnight 11/27: Your responses will reflect thoughts on SPS (Student Perception Survey) prompts.
#5 due by midnight 12/12: "Final Reflection ~S.M.A.R.T. Goal/Individual Plan" (#8 above) Document can be found in your evaluation folder.
