In this episode:
Listen in as I talk about the first question you need to ask yourself as you reflect on this past school year in your classroom.
We talk about:
1.What- What does it mean to reflect on what is going well in your classroom this year?
- Why- Why should you take time to reflect on the good things going on in your classroom this year?
- How- How do you go about reflecting on what went well in your classroom this year?
Quotables:
-Not making a habit of reflecting on what is going right in our classrooms becomes a problem, because then you turn into someone who is constantly reinventing the wheel, quickly burns out or only sees what’s wrong in a situation.
– No one else knows how many things you’ve tried, how long you have studied, the amount of data you’ve collected etc… in order to get your class where it is right now. Only you fully understand this which means that only you can truly celebrate you and your accomplishments.
-Writing down what is going well in your classroom helps you solidify your thoughts as well as serves as a concrete reminder of this accomplishment that you are taking time to reflect on.
