I have heard so much about reflection over the last year. I wanted to do lots of reflection with my classes and really have students thinking about their learning. Some students took this process seriously and some did not. Most of the reflection was done ar the end of projects or units. At the BLC’19 conference, my colleagues and I talked about reflection a lot. Ongoing reflection is key for the growth mindset. We all resolved to do ongoing reflection this year.
This summer I have been reflecting on my reflecting. Do I refect as much as I should? Could I do more reflecting to improve my practice and grow myself professionally? I read about a blogger who felt writing blog posts allowed for deep reflection and a place to organize thoughts. Perhaps I should try to keep blogging this year and see what happens. I am beginning to understand that if I want my students to reflect on their learning I have to start reflecting first. This blog is the perfect place to reflect, share my ideas, and to be vulnerable. Wish me luck!
