3a: Reflecting on Teaching:
Ø
Through Observation
Ø
I often reflect on classroom assignments in a variety of ways. The new
curriculum makes it difficult to anticipate all possible issues with lesson
plans. Therefore reflecting is an essential part of the planning process.
Ø
Often I will reflect on an informal level by writing notes to myself for the
following year. However, there have been many times when I will seek out the
professionals in my department for ideas on how to improve a lesson for future
use.
Ø
Common Plan Time has also been used as a way to reflect on my teaching
strategies and techniques. I have presented lessons to the team as a way to
improve lessons and to determine what strategies are successful thus far.

Resources are available for students and families with emotional and financial
needs and are provided by the town, school department and especially the school.
Such resources include behavior specialists, councilors, psychologists, guidance
councilors, and peer/adult mentors. By building my knowledge of these programs I
will be able to benefit all students, especially those who may not have a
positive home life.
