The inquiry journey does not end when EDUC 451 ends. The inquiry question—and what has been learned and shared thus far—will be revisited and refined during EDUC 452. It is recommended that insights and reflections during practicum and field experiences be recorded for ongoing learning and development, for example, on a professional blog.

This assignment will be used as a formative (ongoing) measurement of your progress throughout your experiences in the Bachelor of Education Program.

An professional blog is a place to reflect. Reflection provides the analysis and insight that fuel your process of discovery and teaching improvement. Information about this process, in the form of reflective statements, is the core of your portfolio. Without the analysis and evaluation inherent in the reflective process, your teaching practices and achievements are isolated events from which there is very little chance for understanding or improvement. Reflective statements are by nature personal accounts and can have as much variety in content and style. Often they tend to include one or more of these features:

Self evaluation with respect to a learning experience
The relation of teaching practice to student learning
Connections between ideas and practice
Ideas for future changes in practice
Questions that have arisen as a result of learning
