End of Year Reflection in Your Upper Elementary Classroom

End of Year Reflection in Your Upper Elementary Classroom

In this episode:

            I talk about the what, why and how of reflecting on our past school experiences and the positive and/or negative impact they have on your teaching. 

We talk about:

1.What it means to reflect on our school experiences. 

2. Why taking time to reflect on past school experiences is a necessary step in growing our practice as teachers. 

3.How to reflect on both the positive experiences and think about the impact they have on your teaching. 

Quotables:

- Our school experiences whether positive or negative are likely impacting how we show up in our classrooms with our students every single day.

- There have been times when a teacher has told me that they hate teaching reading, because they themselves feel like they weren’t good at reading. 

-I had a teacher who would tutor me in highschool and helped me to see that I could figure things out as a learner. She showed me what a growth mindset was before that was a thing.
