Reflect

After you come up with engaging learning activities for your classroom don't think you you're all done have have done your job. When you are done with one of your learning activities it;s important to evaluate and track the effectiveness of that activity. Did it work well? Where the students able to understand and grasp the concept? Was it engaging? If not, maybe you need to come up with something else. It's OK if your activities don't always work out, you live and you learn.Keep only the activities that worked well for you and for the students and contributed to their learning. Also it's crucial to question students after each activity and the learning outcomes it served. What was the purpose of the learning activity. If students don't understand the purpose of the activity then what was the purpose of it in the first place?

  1. I like your thought about reflection. I just wrote a post about the same thing. I think it's extremely important to reflect on our teaching. I also think that students should reflect on what they have just learned; kind of like a debrief. Maybe at first the teacher can lead out in the discussion after an activity but as the year goes on, the students could lead out. Either way, reflection is a huge part in being a successful teacher.
