Reflection:
I have reflected throughout the Instructional Technology (ITEC) Masters Program at the end of each course. I posted the reflections in a blog on my Weebly portfolio. The reflections serve to think about what I have learned in each course and how it impacted my professional knowledge and goals.
The reflections focused on something that I learned in the class. I learned a lot of skills in each course, but in each reflection post, I focused on the skills I learned that had the most significant impact on me professionally. Each reflection also discussed how I can use the knowledge in my profession and how it will help me reach future goals as an educator. Each semester I reflected on two classes. The content of each reflection post demonstrates my ability to evaluate and reflect on my professional practice and disposition regularly.
I recommended at the beginning of the school year to my PLC that we reflect throughout the unit and take notes on what went well, needed changing, or needed to be thrown out. I reflect on how a lesson went and make notes on what should be changed for the next year, specifically for ELL and SWD students. If I could change anything, it would be the reflections for the artifacts, be the reflections for the blog. I could have reflected on each class, and if something from the class related to a portfolio standard, I could have included it in the reflection. Completing the reflections this way would tie both together instead of being disjointed, and it would have made the final portfolio creation a bit less stressful.
Teasley Middle School's goal is to focus on individual students and create learning experiences that are rigorous and real world. Being able to reflect is a skill that continually allows me to improve as an educator. The impact of my ability to self-reflect can be measured by the improvements I make to my lessons year after year. Seeing how my PLC groups adapt each year will also measure my success in coaching others to regularly evaluate and reflect on their professional practice and disposition.
