I am a reflective and thoughtful teacher who works very hard to give her best work to the students. Yet I feel there is still more I could still do for my students, if only I had more time. What would I do?
- Record my daily reflection in this blog, and record my plans for improvement
- Keep detailed records of the learning evidence shown by each of my students
- Contact all parents regularly with detailed reports about their students
- Give students more detailed feedback about their work, their learning, and their potential
- Collaboratively look at student work with colleagues
- Integrate my lessons with other teachers of other disciplines
- Do more professional reading
- Meet with my colleagues to learn together
- Organize more guest speakers
- Meet with students individually outside of class time to discuss their learning and set goals
Good list! I often think along the very same lines, especially the parts focusing on student achievement and feedback.
ReplyDeleteYes. The children (everyone) thrive on feedback and acknowledgement.
