Daily Reflection Prompts

Daily Reflections 

  • Remember to write about your day at the end of each teaching day.  This should be a collection of thoughts, “a-ha” moments, and critical thinking regarding your teaching  You may include thoughts from other parts of your day not just what happened during your lessons. I also want you to include what you learned each time you assessed your students and the feedback you received and provided.
  • Provided is a list of questions to help you generate some ideas of what to be looking for in your day and respond in your writing.
  • Remember, we DO NOT want a summary of what you did but a REFLECTION of what you discovered about yourself and the students you worked with.
