Continuing Reflections

When caught up in the everyday routine of classroom teaching, it is challenging to be critical of my practice. Stopping and reflecting takes immense effort to prioritize and juggle all the other responsibilities of a classroom teacher. This whole student teaching experience has been very intense. Today I was thankful for the pro-D day because I had a chance to stand back and reflect on my teaching. The time to think through strategies and get through some prep work was very appreciated.
Our school is inquiring into integrating technology in our instruction. Today I presented a short workshop on how the web, and specifically the iPad, could be used in our everyday assessment and our students’ everyday inquiry process. It was a very enriching experience to be sharing with other teachers how I have been learning with my students. I am excited to attend more professional development days in the district, as it is a great opportunity to network.
