How to Reflect on Challenges in Your Upper Elementary Literacy Classroom
In this episode:
Listen in as I talk about the second 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 the challenges that you have encountered in your literacy classroom this year?
2. Why- Why should you take time to reflect and choose just one challenge to focus on?
3. How- How do you go about reflecting on one challenge and what you have already tried to resolve it?
Quotables:
-As much as we think we are great multitaskers, the truth is we really can only focus on one challenge at a time.
-Sometimes we assume that because what we’ve done hasn’t eradicated the problem that “nothing is working” this is often not the case.
-Writing down your responses during this reflection process will help get the problems out of your head and on paper which will help you think more clearly.
